A stone-faced Mayor Eric Adams pleaded not guilty in Manhattan federal court Friday during his historic arraignment on bombshell federal corruption charges.
Hizzoner — who is the first sitting New York City mayor to be criminally indicted — stared blankly ahead as the judge fired off the slew of conspiracy, wire fraud and bribery allegations he is facing.
“I am not guilty, your honor,” Adams told the judge.

Like that’s chump change for the Biden Crime family!
Where are the Indictments for the Millions upon Millions Biden, Hunter, James, and the rest of the Biden family received for “access” to then Vice President Joseph Bidenette.
Trump has been saying how the Justice Dept has gone after Adams because he was screaming about the migrant situation in NYC. Adams should screw ALL the Democrats and support Trump!

Still question fed’s constitutional authority to meddle in the affairs of a city. That is the State’s constitutional business.
The unconstitutional portion of the feds’ acts and agencies are MUCH more threatening to our lives, liberties, and wellbeing that any city’s malfeasance.

The only reason Adams got indicted was because he blasted Biden for the immigration shipments to NYC.

Of course he said he’s not guilty,....other than Rod Blagojevich, I can’t ever recall a democrat politician admitting guilt for illegal activity.

Got that right. He’s no more nor less corrupt than the rest of them. He was singled out.

This is a real possibility. But the question is: why now? Adams is a Democrat mayor in a deep-blue Democrat stronghold, who will face the same obvious lawfare as Trump faced - creating a stir just weeks before a national election.
As a political strategy, I don't see how this benefits Harris, Biden, or the Democrats "messaging" in any way.

“two counts of receiving campaign contributions from a foreign national”
I’m guessing that technically makes it a federal crime but I could be wrong.

Yep. What happened to the investigation into all those shell companies that were funneling millions of dollars to the various Biden crime family members, starting with the Big Guy?
Money laundered from the Chinese Commies for the Bidens. Incredibly illegal. Now we hear nothing about it.

They want him out so they can install their democrat socialist, Jumaane Williams.

Article IV, Section 4 (1) might reasonably be construed to mean that the U.S. government has some authority over public corruption at the state level.
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government ...

“Still question fed’s constitutional authority to meddle in the affairs of a city. That is the State’s constitutional business.”
Federal crimes are charged. Which of the statutes charged do you consider unconstitutional?
Betting that you haven’t read the specific charges ...

Don’t guess. Read the attached indictment. Jump to page 49.

Token Adams is likely not guilty - he had no idea what his handlers were doing. His handlers? Well they're guilty as sin but they've always been.
Forget it Jake; it's New York.
