NYC Mayor’s Corruption Case Just Took a Wild Turn—And It’s Not What You Think

You know it’s bad when the Justice Department is like, “Yeah, maybe this was a little too political.” NYC Mayor Eric Adams was looking at a career-ending bribery case—until the DOJ said, “Oops, our bad.”

Turns out, the Southern District of New York handled this case like a tabloid scandal rather than an actual legal proceeding. The DOJ is now calling out its own prosecutors for prioritizing headlines over justice.

So, is Adams innocent? Not necessarily. But if this is how cases are being handled, it’s fair to ask: How many other prosecutions are more about political clout than due process?

And just like that, the justice system looks a little less just.
