I scrolled past several posts of this, thinking it must be some onion parody deal that I wouldn't get because not in NY

The hater to tater pipeline

incredible work, goddamn

Corrupt to the core.

I'm kinda obsessed with how small a bribe this was. "A hundred and several twenties" makes it sound like it was two, three hundred tops. What was she expecting to get with that?

I mean, journalist really isn't a high paid job these days...

If Iannuchi were dead, he’d be spinning right now.

goddamn

Mine are in a potato sack of success

Back in the day, officer #Adams would have had to search through a "child's popular #knapsack" or maybe "a simple jewelry box" to find contraband such as this. youtu.be/sk2Wc4Y5CxE?...

Something simple as a snackbribe

nice

Sincerely great work

What happens when someone gives you a bribe, and you do the opposite of what they were paying you to do Do you have to give it back? Do you have to donate it or give it up out of some kind of ethics rules? Do you get to keep it

fascinating trend among elites, just how sloppy they have gotten with their various crimes. they're all used to never facing any consequences for it so instead of having coverups prepped and laundering bribes through fronts you just get cartoon money sacks and 'here is your bribe money, for bribes'

remembering that senator that was accepting bribes in gold bricks

that's the thing tho - adams & his supporters *aren't* the political elite. otherwise they wouldn't be getting caught. they're doing the same thing as the establishment, but don't know (? I guess) *how,* so end up like the ppl who tried to bribe their kids into college... but legacies are just fine.

Worst reality show ever.

Sigh. It would be funnier if it wasn't real.

even the most dishonest reporter out there is not going to take a $180 - $200 bribe because the resulting story about the bribe is going to be worth way more than $180 - $200

Fuck, I worked for Gannett for awhile and I really wish that was true lmfao

Eric "First Stop Istanbul" Adams is incredibly, uniquely bad at doing crimes right

adams is a comically corrupt sloppy numbskull. dude makes chief quimby look like joe friday.

At this point they might as well hand out giant sacks of money with a $ on it, why the fuck not? Not like anyone with the power to stop them is going to do so.

i think a lot about that police chief who was doing fentanyl smuggling and sending messages on official police stationery

Wasn't a senator keeping gold bars in a closet?

Even better, his freezer

now that's what I call cold, hard, cash
