Has Adams escorted any other murder suspects as mayor? Seems wild he's there.

It's the equivalent of getting on his knees and begging. Sad part is it will probably work. Let's be real, the fact Biden was too pussy to have the feds arrest him when he was charged means they were never serious. Or all those months before that when they raided him for electronics. You know, how everyone else not rich/powerful is treated. Although Adams is unique since he's not that rich and a mayor of NYC is still basically yawn-worthy as far as power goes.

But yeah if you aren't planning to arrest the guy when you have enough evidence to convict already, why even fucking bother? The only answer I have, besides just sheer incompetence which is always possible, is some sort of hand gesturing at "Eh? See? We did a thing. Is he arrested... no. Is he forced from office?... also no. But we did a thing. See?" Which is like 99% of the shit the dems did that was "good" and libs demanded we vote for him for doing.

Hey, maybe if Adams had been rung up on state and federal charges (to reduce pardon chances), actually arrested over a year ago when anyone else would've been, and been denied bail like everyone else would be so he could sit in Rikers like everyone else... well, there's one point in the "Wow, he actually did something positive..." box. Now go get like 10,000 of those and don't do a genocide, and hey, maybe you're on to something there... the bar is eternally in Hell, and yet. Still so far from reaching it
