Perhaps the Only Pol More Corrupt than Donald John Trump

I am referring, of course, to current New York mayor Eric Adams,

I am not referring to the charges specifically against him, his own corruption indictment dismissed as a result of the corrupt political and legal machinations of Trump and his Evil Minions™, but rather the continuous perp walks of his cronies who have been charged with corruption as well.

Hell, there have been so many shots of his aides being arraigned that it's beginning to resemble the f%$#ing Rose Parade.  (The Portland one, not the Pasadena one)

Several associates and supporters of Mayor Eric Adams are expected to face corruption charges in the coming days, according to four people with knowledge of the matter, in cases that could serve as a potent reminder of the scandals still marring his mayoralty.

The mayor, who is just months away from facing voters in his bid for a second term leading New York City, is not expected to be charged. But the defendants, according to the people with knowledge of the matter, are expected to include his closest political ally and former chief adviser, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, and her son, both of whom are already facing corruption charges handed up late last year.

Also expected to face charges are the mayor’s friend Jesse Hamilton, a former state senator whom Mr. Adams installed in a powerful city job, and two influential supporters, Gina and Tony Argento, siblings who run a prominent soundstage company and who, with their employees, have donated more than $20,000 to Mr. Adams’s mayoral campaigns.

………

The latest accusations are expected to include at least one bribery scheme in which some of the defendants allegedly sought to influence policy through well-connected mayoral associates by supplying favors to Ms. Lewis-Martin, who has in the past called herself Mr. Adams’s “sister ordained by God.” Mr. Adams has said he and Ms. Lewis-Martin are “sisters and brothers.”

Ms. Lewis-Martin, who resigned last year days before the first indictment was announced, had been viewed as the second-most powerful person at City Hall and is believed to be at the center of all or most of the charges in the new case, some of the people said.

Arthur L. Aidala, a lawyer for Ms. Lewis-Martin, confirmed in a statement that she will be arraigned on Thursday and said that the district attorney had provided no details about the charges.

……… 

The new indictments add to the cascade of legal issues surrounding the mayor, despite the abandoning of federal corruption charges against him by the Trump administration’s Justice Department earlier this year.

In the last several weeks, Mr. Adams has seen one associate plead guilty to a federal wire fraud conspiracy charge and another sentenced to a year of probation for the same crime. At least four former high-ranking police officers recently sued the mayor, accusing him of enabling corruption in the Police Department.

And a former interim police commissioner, Thomas G. Donlon, has also filed suit against the mayor and some of his top aides, accusing them of running the department like a criminal enterprise.

Not only is this sh%$ unbelievably corrupt, but it's penny ante corruption.

I mean things like bribery schemes about bike lanes. (See at the link)

Boss Tweed must be spinning in his grave.
