The DOJ argued that charges against Adams should be tossed to avoid hurting the mayor's ability to cooperate with immigration policies of President Trump.
A federal judge on Wednesday dismissed the criminal corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, nearly two months after the Trump administration controversially sought to drop the case.
The case was dismissed “with prejudice,” which means the Department of Justice is permanently barred from resurrecting the five-count indictment against Adams based on the same evidence used in the case in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
trump wanted charges dropped, because Adams is kissing his ass.
Just because Adams has a D by his name, doesn’t mean he’s on the peoples side.
He’s an obviously corrupt piece of shit who was likely just bought off by trump to protect his NYC interests
But you’re acting like him getting off Scott free is a good thing
Trump wanted the case dismissed without prejudice. While Adams could very well end up still kissing Trumps ass, this makes it less likely as DOJ can’t resurrect the charges.
I never said him getting off Scott free is a good thing. I think he should face the charges.
Only if you think Adams is only doing all the stupid corrupt shit to make trump like him…
Sounds a lot more likely that he’s just a corrupt piece of shit like virtually every other NYC mayor or former NYPD. Especially since he was doing stupid corrupt shit when Biden was president
Trump wanted the case dismissed without prejudice.
Bolding something isn’t the same as linking a source…
The DOJ had asked Ho to toss the case “without prejudice,” which would have allowed charges to be refiled against the mayor in the future.
As for why that could be bad:
Ho, in his order on Wednesday, wrote that dismissing the case without prejudice “would create the unavoidable perception that the Mayor’s freedom depends on his ability to carry out the immigration enforcement priorities of the administration.
The judge also said it would create the perception that Adams, who is seeking re-election this year, “might be more beholden to the demands of the federal government than to the wishes of his own constituents.”
“That appearance is inevitable, and it counsels in favor of dismissal with prejudice,” Ho wrote.
The judge noted that Adams requested a dismissal with prejudice, and that the DOJ had not opposed that motion, “effectively waiving any objection to permanent dismissal of this case.”
If he cared about, he’d have made noise about it not happening how he wanted…
Or more likely, had the DOJ oppose it
You’re stuck on “stick” being the only way one corrupt politician can I fluence another.
Adams would eat a carrot out of Trump’s ass, he doesn’t need a stick when the door is opened to more corruption.
For fucks sake, pay attention to more than a single letter
TL;DR
With prejudice, so the DOJ can’t use this as a stick to keep him in line.
So instead of blackmailing Adams on these charges, that DOJ will have to find different charges to threaten him with?
Somehow I don’t think they’ll have much trouble.
Your tldr immediately conflicts with your post…

The TLDR isn’t conflicting at all with what you quoted…
