Speaker Mike Johnson suggests that Eric Adams’ prosecution may be retaliation in the style of Biden
House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) has implied he agrees with what every sensible political observer has been secretly thinking: that New York Mayor Eric Adams’ legal troubles are retaliation by the Biden-Harris administration for his refusal to shut up about the border disaster.
Whether or not Adams is ultimately found guilty on any charges, this question remains.
Because this kind of banana-republic stunt is 100% characteristic of the Biden administration.
After all, these are the same people who turned the Justice Department into a purely political entity, with Attorney General Merrick Garland proving to be a supine Dem hack.
They punish enemies, like parents who dared to protest at school boards over woke policies and conservative Catholics.
They reward friends and family, like Hunter Biden — slow-walking his prosecution and offering a plea deal so insane it ended up backfiring.
The FBI recently tried to hide a massive upward revision of 2022 crime stats very clearly to help Kamala Harris win the election; the trickery was (happily) spotted by eagle-eyed observers.
The White House has so little respect for the law it published an inaccurate version of recent remarks from Biden as damage control for his recent “Trump backers are garbage” gaffe and drew a rebuke from the hardworking folks who keep legally mandated written records of the president’s speeches.
That’s a possible violation of the Presidential Records Act — the same law Justice is going after Biden’s main political rival Donald Trump for breaking.
Indeed, the lawfare against Trump has become so blatantly partisan it’s astonished even left-wing observers.
Adams himself has implied the same thing.
“I always knew that if I stood my ground for New Yorkers that I would be a target — and a target I became,” said the mayor in late September of his public criticism around the US border disaster and the migrant tsunami it caused.
He, like Johnson, gets how the White House operates.
Biden & Co. have no principles beyond the one famously articulated by Peruvian caudillo Gen. Oscar Benavides.
For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law.
