Manhattan Transfer

If you know an FBI agent in NYC, try to be as supportive as possible. Chances are they’ve been extremely overworked lately. Well, specifically the FBI units focused on NYC Mayor Eric Adams and his administration. (Probably known around the office as The Adams Crime Family.) Those investigations have gone to the top as “New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on five federal charges related to bribery, wire fraud, conspiracy and soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals.” Adams insists he did nothing wrong and won’t resign. I imagine pressure might alter that stance, and in New York, the governor can remove a mayor from office when criminal charges are brought. Gothamist: What happens if Mayor Adams resigns – or refuses to leave City Hall?

+ You can read the whole indictment here. It includes gems like this: “At on epoint during her voluntary interview, the Adams Staffer excused herself to a bathroom and, while there, deleted the encrypted messaging applications she had used to communicate with ADAMS, the Promoter, the Turkish Official, the Airline Manager, and others.” Others may or may not refer to the Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, a Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Four Calling Birds, Three French Hens, Two Turtle Doves, a really disturbing text exchange with Mark Robinson, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree.

+ The Adams administration “is reeling from multiple high-level resignations and at least four federal probes.” Here’s the latest from NBC.
