This Could Get Interesting; NYC Corruption Ed.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted by a grand jury on federal criminal charges, according to two people familiar with the matter, an extraordinary culmination to weeks of searches, subpoenas and resignations of top officials that have thrust the city’s government into crisis.

The indictment detailing the charges against Adams, a Democrat, was expected to be unsealed Thursday, according to the people, who spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

And:

The head of New York City’s public schools system, David Banks, said Tuesday that he will step down at the end of the calendar year, becoming the latest high-ranking departure from Mayor Eric Adams’ administration amid escalating federal criminal investigations.

The decision comes weeks after federal agents seized Banks’ phones, as well as devices belonging to the city’s police commissioner, two deputy mayors and a top Adams adviser. The police commissioner, Edward Caban, resigned earlier this month.

I'm no great shakes as a legalwatcher. Having said that, my impression of the Feds, especially the Southern District of NY, is that they don't go after politicians for piddly-ass shit. When they do, they have the receipts.

The indictment might be an interesting read for the legal reporters.

Haven't seen any commenting by the right winger trolls about how a Democrat has been indicted. Like, " See the democrats are the criminals." Maybe because that would counter the claim that the DOJ only goes after Trump and his associates that he denies knowing after they get caught.
