FBI Seized Eric Adams's Phones

[RandySF]

“FBI agents seized Mayor Eric Adams’s electronic devices early this week in what appeared to be a dramatic escalation of a federal corruption investigation into whether his 2021 campaign conspired with the Turkish government and others to funnel money into its coffers,” the New York Times reports.

“The agents approached the mayor on the street and asked his security detail to step away… They climbed into his SUV with him and, pursuant to a court-authorized warrant, took his devices.”

“The devices — at least two cellphones and an iPad — were returned to the mayor within a matter of days… Law enforcement investigators with a search warrant can make copies of the data on devices after they seize them.”

1. He used to be a Republican

And he pushed to cover up dirty cops while he was top cop in Brooklyn. We have to fix citizens united as it created this perverse situation where individuals are limited to the amount they can donate but corporations and PACs can wiggle around and fund a bozo like this.

4. I would use the Turkish govt support against him.

I'm sure most in NY don't want any influence from an outsider especially Turkey.
