NYC Mayor Eric Adams indicted
These charges on the indictment makes the first time a sitting New York City mayor faces criminal charges as he's been indicted which came after many weeks of investigations into Mayor Eric Adams plus key members of his inside swamp came to exposed. The news of Adams’s indictment is already shifting the ebb and flow of New York City politics by absorbing all of the oxygen. VOCAL-NY, a group that advocates for low-income New Yorkers, planned to hold a 8:30 a.m. news conference and rally on Thursday at the Sutter Avenue subway stop in Brooklyn, the site of a recent shooting by N.Y.P.D. officers, to oppose Adams’s proposed changes to the city charter that they feel would give the police more power.
But after news of the indictment broke, the group sent out a one-line news release: “CANCELLED due to breaking news.” “We need people to be focused, and I don’t think people will be able to do so tomorrow,” said Jawanza Williams, group managing director of organizing them. “We need to get this distraction out of the way and focus on a government that helps New Yorkers.” Sandy Nurse, a Brooklyn councilwoman who serves as Chair of the Committee on Criminal Justice, said Adams ran on a platform of “law and order” and “never missed a chance to attack progressives and the left, accusing us of being unserious about community safety and crime.” “It is impossible to govern a city effectively amidst a constant stream of resignations, scandals and now indictment,” she said. Nurse joined other vocal city leaders in calling for Adams resignation.
Should Adams resign, Jumaane Williams, the city’s public advocate, would become acting mayor. Matt Antar, the finance chairman of the New York Young Republicans Club, said in a post on X that the mayor was “terrible” and “made unforgivable policy choices in his administration.” But, Mr. Antar added: “Every communist progressive they have lined up to take his place would be 10 times worse. You don’t want Jumaane Williams to be mayor,” he wrote.
A special election would draw a number of candidates some of whom have already declared that they will run against Mayor Adams in next year’s Democratic primary. Former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who is seeking a political comeback, could also join the frying pan. Like we need him to come back and murder more old people like he did with Covid during the 2020 summer of love. But Adams, in a videotaped speech posted online late Wednesday, proclaimed his innocence, vowed to fight any charges against him and made it clear he did not plan to step down. There is another way Adams could leave office: The New York City Charter gives Gov. Kathy Hochul the power to remove him. But the process would be complicated... She replayed Cuomo remember and she's worse than he is. Well she didn't put Covid sick patients with the elderly costing them their lives! But man does she not just look like she belongs on "Witch Mountain" ?
Under the charter, Gov. Hochul, who had not commented on the indictment as of late Wednesday, could suspend Mayor Adams for up to 30 days and then remove him “after service upon him of a copy of the charges and an opportunity to be heard in his defense.” That is where New Yorkers would be entering uncharted territory. A governor has not exercised such powers in recent memory. The closest precedent occurred in 1931, when Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt held 14 days of hearings into the misconduct of Mayor Jimmy Walker, and friends that was not DynOmite! But he eventually resigned in 1932 before going to Europe. Where all these liberal politicians should be deported too! The Roosevelt’s hearings took place in the Statehouse’s Red Room. As he prepared to assume the presidency in 1933, he filed several memorandums explaining the hearings with the state attorney general and defending his power to remove Mr. Walker.
Roosevelt, The New York Times wrote at the time, thought the memos were “of some importance because the Walker case in the future would be referred to in other cases involving the power of removal of certain public officials by the governor and because, unlike cases at law, no opportunity exists for including a digest of any such extensive cases in any law report.”
It is unclear how Witch Hochul would pursue Crackhead Mayor Adams’s removal, or if she would try to run cover for him and save his behind but as it stands “When the Constitution, statutes and City Charter are read together, the governor has broad latitude in deciding what actions or failures to act would justify removing a mayor from office,” said James M. McGuire, a former counsel to Gov. George Pataki now in private practice. Mr. McGuire noted that some specific charges are required, but the courts have never determined how specific they must be, enabling governors “to use the removal power as a club to force resignations.” So we shall see how this show of poop being formed against the leftist idiotic Mayor McAdams plays out! Sure looks like these DemonsCrap liberals love to turn on each other like Sith Lords.
