Episode notes
Adams' Indictment and Dismissal
- New York City Mayor Eric Adams faced federal indictment on corruption charges.
- These charges were dropped by the acting deputy attorney general, potentially in exchange for cooperation on immigration enforcement.
Documenting Corruption
- Documenting potentially corrupt dealings, like the DOJ's directive to dismiss Adams' case, is risky.
- It contradicts the usual advice of avoiding written records of such activities.
Reason for Dismissal
- The DOJ directed the dismissal of Adams' charges, not due to lack of evidence.
- The dismissal was likely linked to Adams's cooperation with federal immigration enforcement efforts.
