New Adams Administration Inquiry Focuses on City Leases

The Manhattan district attorney’s office seized phones from five people, including aides to Mayor Eric Adams, as they returned from a vacation together.

Holy mother of fuck. So much criming has been involved and so many people are involved that the article not only has photos of everybody - the info is color-coded.

Edit

I changed the image to one with the photos and color-coding.

say what you will, these are some chefs-kiss crime names: Winnie Greco? Raul Pintos? Tom Donion? 3 dudes named 'Banks'? get fucking real

one of the worst to ever do it, and by "it" I mean "getting away with crimes"

What boggles my mind is that they apparently have evidence of crimes on their phones even now! If that detail appeared in fiction - critics would justifiably ridicule the writer for being super-lazy and super-unrealistic that every few weeks Adams crime family phones are seized. I'm being serious when I ask - will the feds or the cops be seizing yet more phones in 2025?

Electing a gimmick dude and then finding out he's a corrupt shithead is so funny. What did you expect, New York. Did you really think the guy that had an obsession with rats (to the point it was comical) would do a good job? Really? The rats guy?

De Blasio: "Well, Well, Well, Not So Easy To Find A Mayor That Doesn't Suck Shit, Huh?" : nyc

“Hey, you all gave it your best shot, but it looks like it’s a little harder than you thought to run a candidate who won’t be a national fucking disgrace, doesn’t it?” said De Blasio, smirking as he suggested that the voting public had perhaps gotten a little too big for their britches at the prospect of electing someone who would amount to more than a constant source of embarrassment for the city at large. “But, no, really, I hope you have a goddamn blast with Eric Adams or whatever asshole you end up going with..."

The onion wrote this right after the primary, 6 months before Adams took office. Truly prescient.

adams has not resigned yet because his cop brain is kicking in and he's like 'charged with crimes, great I get an extended paid leave and keep my job'
