Let's get started with the federal indictment of New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Yesterday, a fifty seven page indictment was unsealed, charging Mayor Adams with bribery, solicitation of illegal foreign campaign contributions, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Most of the indictment centers on the Turkish community and Turkish businessmen who allegedly exerted influence on the mayor. More specifically, the Fed say Adams received luxury travel and other benefits from a Turkish official and later pressured the New York City Fire Department to open a Turkish consular building without a fire inspection in exchange. The indictment alleged illegal activity going all the way back to twenty fourteen, when Adams was Brookman Borough President. Here's a snippet of the chargers in the indictment. Checked this out on his full screen. For nearly a decade, Adams sought and accepted improper valuable benefits such as luxury international travel, including from wealthy foreign business people and at least one Turkish government official seeking to gain influence over him. End quote, Ladies and gentlemen. This indictment comes from the Southern District of New York, the same organization currently holding Sean Diddy Combs and a federal jail until his trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. As for Mayor Adams, here's what his attorney, Alex Spiro said in a statement issued Thursday morning. Quote. Federal agents appeared this morning at Gracie Mansion in an effort to create a spectacle again and take Mayor Adam's phone again. He has not been arrested and looks forward to his day in court. They send a dozen agents to pick up a phone when we would have happily turned it in. Adams would face significant prison time if convicted. Of course, first of all, to Mayor Adam's attorney, respectfully, sir, I see your point. I get your point, But does that really matter. We just had an attorney, an alum of the Southern District of New York on here just a couple of days ago, talking about the Diddy case, and we learned that they get you over eighty percent of the time. So this ain't about how it looks. This is about what is The government is coming after the mayor. Now, if you want to have an argument you want to have a beef, you want to have a level of annoyance about it. Okay, you know what Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court justice, allegedly supposedly took gifts. What kind of legal issues are is he going through? Donald Trump, we talk about him all the time. Impeached twice, thirty four felony convictions. The man is still the GOP nominee for the presidency of the United States, favors kickbacks, whatever. Some people may not want to hear that. Some people might look at it and say, this is not a big deal. There's as much ado about nothing. Here's the problem. The Southern District of New York feels otherwise. As a result, the court system is going to feel otherwise, which means that the mayor could be in some trouble. It's not as definitive, is Diddy in all of this, Who's behind bars? It's not as definitive as that as of yet, But clearly it's one of those situations where Mayor Adams he's in some trouble, so much so that I think one thing is safe to say. If former Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo decides to run as has been reported and insinuated over the last couple of weeks. If he does decide to run for mayor of New York City, I think he'd win. If Mayor Adams decides to run for re election, assume me that is legal issues don't prevent it from doing so. It probably lose. That's what I feel from all of this. Outside of that, watch what you do, watch you you do business with, Watch what favors you incur, watch what favors you receive. Everything is getting messy. And remember this one other thing, ladies and gentlemen, for all of us, myself included, Ignorance of the law doesn't excuse you from the obligations that the law provides. So you might not even know half the time you doing something wrong. You better find out. You better find out, or you better have a damn good lawyer in your ear who's letting you know in real time. Because it's gotten to a point when I hear the Southern District in New York, I damn near fear you are guilty. That's how scary these people are, because they usually get who they're coming for. That's all I wanted to say about that.
