Former Mayor Bill de Blasio was not indicted for the approximately $1 billion taken for ThriveNYC, which was never investigated.

What about the One World Campaign fund?

No accountability there either.

Adams criticized President Biden and was promptly indicted. This serves as a warning to others: Do not criticize the Biden-Harris administration.

Contrastingly, Hunter Biden was protected by the FBI and Department of Justice against various charges, while Mayor Adams was aggressively pursued by the government.

Our country’s conditions are concerning. Remember, if they can do it to him, others could be vulnerable too.

The swiftness of Mayor Adams’ indictment is surprising, hinting at potential manipulation behind the scenes.

Many politicians have faced severe corruption allegations and survived relatively unscathed, but it seems someone has a vendetta against Adams.

Power doesn’t corrupt Mayor Adams; it reveals his true character. His actions indicate self-serving motives from his time as a cop to his tenure as mayor, and now he is facing consequences.

Remember the words “Innocent until proven guilty” in relation to Adams’ accusations. His resignation could lead to Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, a known critic of the police force, assuming the mayoral role.

Do we want someone who opposes law enforcement to be our next mayor?
