Conservative Pundit hits Trump Doj for the ‘ridiculous’ hypocrisy in the case of Eric Adams

Conservative lawyer and Fox News taxpayer Andrew McCarthy is calling the president Donald Trumpwho spent years denouncing The Department of Justice as “armed” against him under his predecessor, just to intervene in the case against the mayor of New York City Eric Adams.

ADAMS He was accused in September On the accusations, he accepted bribes and illegal campaign contributions. The mayor has tried Curry favor With Trump In recent months, particularly working with him in immigration. And Monday, the attached attorney general Emil Bove ordered federal prosecutors to leave the charges against him.

McCarthy called Bove and the Attorney General Pam Bondi In the national review.

“Bondi, acting through (Bove), is ready to leave the case against Adams for explicit political reasons, which is hilarious that they are part of the crusade of the new justice department against political decision making politicized.” Tuesday wrote.

The order He states that Adams was accused only after “criticized the administration’s immigration policies (Biden)”, suggesting that the mayor was attacked for political reasons instead of alleged crimes, while maintaining that discarding the case “of No way questions the integrity “of prosecutors now work in the case.

All that premise is “ridiculous,” McCarthy wrote.

McCarthy pointed out on Tuesday that if prosecutors who have “spent years working in the case” cannot “follow the order in good awareness”, they will have to resign, which is precisely what happened on Thursday, when the United States prosecutor Danielle Sassoon delivered to it renunciation letter.

Sassoon frankly condemned the movement of the Department of Justice to leave the case after Adams said he was a partisan: “Instead of being rewarded, Adams’s defense should be called for what it is: an incorrect offer of immigration application assistance to immigration application Change of a dismissal of your case. ”

“President Trump decided that it was of interest to do a political favor for Mayor Adams,” McCarthy wrote in a follow -up review article on Thursday. “His subordinates tried to cover up this raw political gesture in legally tasty terms. But the justification offered was incoherent. Now that it has exploded predictably, they blame people who would not play. “

Adams has apparently spent the last months curiously separating a favor with Trump.

In a letter that accepted his resignation, Bove rebuked Sassoon for allegedly losing “view of the oath you made”, and warned him that The Department of Justice will investigate His behavior.

He accusation of five charges against Adams It includes conspiracy charges, electronic fraud and bribery. Like many others lookMcCarthy has been surprised that the same administration that had denounced the “weapons” of the Department of Justice is now, in his opinion, to do exactly that.
