Holy shit. RICO is the nuclear option.
Holy shit. RICO is the nuclear option.
Oh! Same as the US president.
The timing is suspect. Do I smell a witchhunt?
#NoEricAdams!!!
I’m not surprised
Trump pardon incoming...
👏👏👏
Your next deputy director of the FBi
That blue line is getting thinner. I have zero hope this will do any good. But it's good to see a cop so something decent for once.
You can fire him anytime you want Kathy
Eric Adams is a giant piece of shit.
The NYPD is whining about being mistreated?!🤨
Nice
Good.
My good man do you have a link to the full complaint?
He can't even do alt text!
But, but , Tramp’s “Justice” Department maintains the Herr Adams deserves total immunity from criminal prosecution so he has plenty of time to …. whatever
What u get when u elect A pig. A Republican pig. A pig with a credible womyn alleging a sexual assault. A pig who lives in NJ. A dry drunk vegan. A pig who bows b4 FDJT. Worst NYPOS politician since… Alphonse D’Amato.
Isn’t extortion and bribery what brought Eric Adams to power? Maybe finally the criminals will be driven out. Please, God.
Every government contract was for sale in NYC. There was an implicit understanding that a meeting with him would cost you.
Im very happy Mamdani has won.
Sounds about right since Trump is protecting him. Adams is part of the Trump Mob family
That's why Trump wanted Adams charges dropped,because he had his hook. NY'erS weren't & aren't ok with Adam criminality.
Not surprised one little bit 🧌
“Like” 🥶? 🤣🤣
The folks in NYC simply must do better. From three thousand miles away, Adams looks like the guy you would not elect to be a dogcatcher.
Bring on the pre-pre- pardon
Hilarious if Mamdani could get the PBA endorsement.
📌 #pin
Sort of like how the White House is being run?.. and the DOJ now… This must be the new American government way of doing business mass firing ,pay for play that’s always been around and now all of this corruption from the top down to the bottom… What a shame..
nice.
The scary part about this isn't the fact that he's still mayor. The scary part is that New Yorkers may well not have learned a thing from this. And with Cuomo (another crook) running as an independent, they could wind up with him or even a Republican.
I’m voting for Mandani.
I'm not in NY but I'm rooting for him. I can't believe people still think Cuomo is ok.
I'm no longer in NYC but I'm sure pulling for Mamdani.
I dunno, it seems like a lot of NYCers are also fed up with elitist politicians like Cuomo (Especially Cuomo) which is why dems are panicking as they are losing a foothold in the center of money and power that NYC represents and desperately flinging hoping that mud sticks.
Popehat RICO Bat Signal activated
Adams is a criminal!
Not surprising. Cops seem to get away with everything.
We all knew he was corrupt before his actual legal troubles…
Omg
He seems to have always thought he was a mob boss.
😮
I love that for Eric.
💪🏽🎉
maybe the grift, the indecency, the threat to our rights begin now to push people to say: NO MORE. congrats on the courage to pursue this
who can possibly be surprised.
How else would you run a racketeering enterprise though
RICO?
This is something that worries me about when Mamdani takes office: the NYPD coercing him into giving kickbacks and budget increases on threat of destabilizing the security of the city. They're so militarized and so entitled that they will cause big problems if can't clean house fast.
It must have been pretty bad for another cop to be complaining about it
OH SOMEONE CALL PAN BONDI ASAP
He's Trump's bitch now.
Oops.
Right after Cuomo announces his run, what a coincidence.
I’m not surprised. They should have voted for Maya Wiley.
Agreed.
RECAP links: Docket: www.courtlistener.com/docket/70807... Complaint: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
thank you.
This should be happening against Congress and the White House.
WHAT??????? OMG! There is righteousness in NYC!!!
Gotta make dough
#NoToEricAdams Can we please rid government of all these criminals???
Trump bailed him out once. This time I hope he gets the book thrown at him
NYC crook cop runs a crook cop club. Crazy, just crazy. I’m so glad I didn’t vote for him.
Don’t believe the smears vote Mamdani if you’re a New York voter
Haven’t we figured out by now it’s all pretty much a racket? Most of our politicians are in it for self enrichment and power. If they were there for us, we wouldn’t be living in a country with two justice systems where the 99% is struggling to just live like normal people and a felon is president.
That's... that's just policing.
Birds of a feather...
📌
No wonder Trump is helping him. Probably is paying him off.
Cue the “witch hunt” crowd!
👍👍👍
Bent cops in New York? Giddoutahere!
Traditionally, DOJ would investigate. But, DOJ has become what this suit is accusing Adams of turning the NYPD into.
DOJ has proof that Adams accepted illegal payments from a foreign government and the Trump junta is holding the threat of resumed prosecution over his head like the sword of Damocles It's crimes, patronage and corrupt refusal to pursue charges, as far as you care to look
He’s a wannabe Mob Boss, just like his pal, tRump.
Popehat is about to have a very long week.
He learned from trump.
No wonder 🍊💩 loves him
I’m out the loop on this, and the comments have given little indication of whether or not he actually did that. So if he did, throw the book at him, and if he didn’t, throw the suit out, but I’m withholding any further comments until I have the full story. 🤷
When has the NYPD not operated like a racketeering enterprise?
@kenwhite.bsky.social A couple more years of content for the podcast!
GOOD Keep the truth coming
Wow!
The chickens are coming home to roost. Payback's a b**ch. Karma. Gotcha. You reap what you sow. Quien planta vientos recoje tempestades. Cría cuervos y te sacarán los ojos. You made your bed, now lie in it. wie zijn billen verbrandt moet op de blaren zitten. I wish the same for the despot et. al.
So they are saying he's corrupt? I'm as shocked as you are.
That table of success is going to have the largest waitstaff ever
This will be fun.
No wonder Trump loves him
How did the NYC Democrats not choose Maya Wiley for their candidate? What were they thinking?
They were thinking how they could manipulate us into supporting their corrupt choices. Dems are a party of centrist neoliberals who are less concerned about fascism and more concerned about losing their grip on controlling power from the left.
The corruption of NYC Government is notorious and has been so for >100 years. Mamdani is on the OUTSIDE of this crap. IF he can win, can we hope for a downsizing at least of the layer of Mobocracy in this poor town?
"The greatest city in the world" with the most corrupted major in the U.S.
No Notes
No surprise, don't you agree?
Kleptocracy, all but the theft is theatre.
Well, he's not mincing any words!
Insane that anyone still defends these pigs
RICO! RICO!!
👏👏👏
Seriously should we be surprised? Only by the bravery of some.
Dear Mr. Mamdani. I am a New Yorker. I was proud to have voted for you in the primary, and intend to vote for you in the general. But please pledge to keep PC Tisch on. We can't have more of this.
Ironic and shameful, how the criminal element has been emboldened to keep pushing their agendas.
New York City COULD HAVE HAD MAYA WILEY 😭
Ohhhhh fight fight fight!!!
VOTE MAMDANI, end corruption
Shocker.
We're also going to get the psycho, et al., for RICO!
Wow!
No wonder Chump backs him
Judge: "Well...yeah."
No wonder Trump likes him.
A complete mystery why Adams and Trump found common ground.
Just like Trump then. PS: Keep EPSTEIN in the headlines
Wow!
Speak loud.
Rico cases are tough to win, so the lawyers must be quite confident. Go decimate the bastard!
WOW SUCH GREAT ALT TEXT
@blackintellect.bsky.social
Racketeering charges brought by the State of NY will stick and cant be pardoned by whatshisface
That's why trump got his charges dropped and also why he wants him in charge of NYC. It's also why Cuomo is running independent after a nice ass kicking in the primary. It all leads back to Trump wanting control and his racketeering enterprise.
The Truth, always shows through.
Does this surprise? Evil has been infiltrating our systems of gov for decades. It's exposure comes now only because Evil has taken control of whatever oversight we imagined we had. But cops have been gunning down the innocent for as long as we've been a country - only rarely held accountable. Rise
Eric Adams is a MAGA in Democratic clothing. I can't believe New Yorkers were duped so badly by him. They could have had Maya.
New Yorkers weren’t duped. New Yorkers are more conservative than you realize.
Around the rural parts of the state, yes. In NYC, maybe. But no matter their political leanings, they're usually more savvy than to let themselves be conned. Why do you think they hate DJT so much? They KNOW he's a conman.
It might be useful to remember some of the other mayors New Yorkers have elected and reelected.
Good point!
He fits in well with it his regime 🤯
No surprise there.
Hmm. Cuomo’s trying to drive Adams out of the race so he is the lone Independent candidate? No can’t be right? 😂
📌
A pity we don't have a functioning SDNY to investigate this further.
I voted for the nice garbage lady.
adams is just a third-tier character from DUMBFELLAS
Great! Now he can be pardoned by donnie and given a position in the regime. 🤡
The tRumpreich.
😳
bah gawd that's @kenwhite.bsky.social's music
Lol. That has been the word around town about Adams. Hope he wins.
This tracks as Adams is one of Mob Boss Trumps foot soldiers.
Is this a new one, or the same one from earlier this week? Why do I have to ask this?
New! This is the former *top boss* of the NYPD.
can you post the link to the suit
Well, there’s a reason it resembles racketeering
😂🤣
Light my fire.
Take the base down pease by peace, the support crumbles and the structure folds in on itself…..
Which comes after the lawsuits last week that were largely ignored, especially by those outlets trying to sink Mamdani. apnews.com/article/nypd...
Plaintiff appears to be asking for a Federal takeover of the Dept. 🙄 It makes sense timing wise 😩 The I0F works closely with NYPD. The NYPD has an office in 🇮🇱. NYPD's operating budget is 5.8B/yr😠 Cuomo trailing Mamdani. Should Mamdani win, they don't want him to exercise authority over the NYPD.
There’s also this. Ran into this press conference outside of 100 center yesterday calling for transparency and fair hiring in the NYPD. Cop mayor having trouble keeping the cops happy. Why I love NYC. It all comes back to old school cronyism. Reliable. Classic 🤌 www.aol.com/news/30-unla...
No, how is that even possible?
It was the rule not the exception. Performed by intermediaries.
The only surprising thing is that someone finally found the courage to say it.
Looks like the billionaires are pushing Adams to drop out. Seems like they're backing Cuomo. Interesting.
Ruh-roh.
Everyone who watched the cannabis crackdown knew the score.
The former future of the Democratic Party! Does that mean he's the present Dem party now? Asking for Hakeem and Chuck.
Hahahahahaha
And you thought he was an upstanding citizen?
I am not remotely surprised.
Get the popcorn 🍿
OOPSIE. And the fascist orange fuck had his DOJ drop the case against him. Would these be state charges?
The luigi perp walk was enough for Adam's to be sent to political purgatory. Everything else is just dessert.
That's why trump knew he could "negotiate" with him.
Big if true that the NYPD answers to the Mayor or anybody
Mr. Donlon's varied and storied career in Law Enforcement makes him an expert on identifying a racketeering enterprise.
Eric Adams thought he was going to be 'adjacent enough' to play like the white bois play and get away with it like the white bois do.
He is a criminal.
never a dull moment
The guy who offered to help the Trump administration in exchange for criminal charges against him being dropped? That guy? I'm shocked!
This country is so messed up!!
He ain’t lying.
I’d love it if that mattered, but I doubt it will. Can we the people file a class-action against Trump for repeatedly breaking the law, the Constitution, terrorizing Americans & running the US like it’s a racketeering enterprise (one of his many convicted felonies)? Asking for all of humanity.
What a shocker. 🙄
Critics will call this suit sour grapes. Donlon only lasted in the gig for half a second. And some of the claims are ... interesting. For example, he says it was an act of relation to arrest his wife after this car crash. nypost.com/2024/12/16/u...
Not an expert, but aren't relatives of cops often given a get-out-of-jail-free card? Like a literal card sometimes. So if his wife would normally be privileged enough to avoid arrest for traffic accidents, then they arrest her anyway, would feel targeted.
This is less successful these days because of cop cams that they turn on before they know who they've pulled over. Chicago's previous Chief of Police got caught driving drunk and falling asleep (among other issues with the evening). Probably could have gotten away with it if not for being recorded.
The other issue is that the rank and file cops sometimes don't necessarily love the boss cops.
Other claims in Donlon's suit, however, match public reporting, or the experience of previous police commissioners.
Sections of the suit read more like campaign speeches than legal briefs. "Leadership demands more than rhetoric; it requires courage to right a profound wrong. The time has come for our city’s leaders to deliver on their promises." etc. etc.
Is this the same corrupt police department that some voters want Mamdani to commit keeping the commissioner as some litmus test?
Others are specific -- sometimes, hilariously so. Talk about self-promotion!
Oooh fraudulently using his signature is a big one
There’s this as well nypost.com/2024/11/04/u...
It’s like the keystone cops
Did you read the bit where Daughtry had a "dream" about a task force and so they created a task force for Daughtry to lead, even though he was unqualified to do so?
And NY will probably re-elect him because they're deathly afraid of a Muslim democratic socialist.
And folks will ignore the warnings of lawsuits and corruption investigations to vote for Adams in November! Some people are so petrified of a potentially-city-saving new person, they prefer to keep complaining about the familiar & broken status-quote!
Apparently, most Americans grew up in to kind of a neighborhood because I can just look at a human being and tell immediately whether a crooked or not!
Eric's orange daddy will make it all go away. Strap on those knee pads Eric and remember to breathe through your nose.
Oh, it just keeps getting better and better
And the NYT headline : why this will hurt the progressive Dem primary candidate 🤦🏼♀️
Yum!😋
bsky.app/profile/albe...
Oh lordy, this is gonna be good.
We the People are the only chance against this regime!
Buckle up...
“Like a”, I think as a… Take the fucker down.
Memories of Frank Serpico
🤣👏🏽😂... NOT a surprise
He’s an awful despicable human being. I knew he was trash the day he was elected
Is anyone surprised? He's always been a corrupt piece of shit, which is why he came to suck off Trump to stay in power.
