Public Advocate needs to step up pressure.
Edited: I was wrong. It is just that bad. Kathy Hochul will pull Eric Adams

(11,275 posts)That was uncalled for.
A pooper-scooper for that piece of shit. Too crude.
A pimple popper for that boil. Ewww.
A trash bag for that inventor of sidewalk trash cans. Much better...

(10,401 posts)The DOJ just dropped those charges, so could he still be removed with no crime now charged? On the other hand, a few places say he could be removed regardless of whether he's charged or not. I can't find a definitive answer. Does anyone have link that explicitly says removal is a possibility now?
DemocratSinceBirth
(101,999 posts)That's a lil different than a dismissal with prejudice.
Wiz Imp
(10,401 posts)But for now, he is not charged with a crime. I don't think she would remove Adams regardless even though she should.

(85,349 posts)Also, the justification for dropping them is to enforce immigration laws. If he is removed, the stated justification for dropping charges evaporates.
DemocratSinceBirth
(101,999 posts)That means they can be resurrected at any time.
Renew Deal
(85,349 posts)That's a tough one. On the one hand, innocent until proven guilty. On the other, it would be a bare-knuckle political move during an unusual time. The problem is precedent. It might be symbolically bad to do that.
One other argument for doing it is that he is a tool to enforce a policy that she in theory opposes.
