As much as I wanted her to get rid of him, because he’s clearly a corrupt asshole, she isn’t the kind of politician to take a risk like that. She has shown herself to be a very weak governor. I’m also not sure if I’m okay with “our side” acting like authoritarians because the other branches are unwilling or unable to act through the proper process. She has the power, and he’s a piece of shit, but he was duly elected and primaries aren’t too far off (July I think). New Yorkers definitely won’t give him the job again. Though they’ll probably vote in another shitty mayor, the city has a laughably bad track record.
I think the best we can hope for is Judge Ho deciding to dismiss the case with prejudice effectively removing the Sword of Damocles from over Adams’ head. (The corrupt prosecutors asked for without prejudice.) That wouldn’t be ideal, because Adams’ would be off the hook completely, but at least it’d take away Trump’s leverage. And voters would finish the job by primarying him in a few months.
It all sucks major corrupt ass no matter how you sniff it.
Even without the Sword of Damocles over his head, Adams has shown time and time again that he’s a Republican. He only cares about himself. He wasn’t exactly fighting for NYers while Biden was in office.
Though they’ll probably vote in another shitty mayor, the city has a laughably bad track record.
Easy to blame the voters and there is certainly culpability there, but when do we direct our attention to and fix the system that produces nothing but shit candidates to the voters?

This seems pretty much like the best of all possible outcomes until you remember that Cuomo would very likely replace him.
Ugh Cuomo. I forgot about him. Would New Yorkers really vote for him? I go back and forth, but yeah, probably. That’d be on brand.
Clearly you support genocide. (/s)
