Bill de Blasio Defends Eric Adams: ‘Very Flimsy’ Charges

KEILAR Mayor how do ░░░░░░░░ see it being a ░░░░░░░░ mayor this directive the ░░░░░░░░ and how he has ░░░░░░░░ curried some favor with ░░░░░░░░ Trump Administration with some ░░░░░░░░ his immigration policies and ░░░░░░░░ resignations that have come ░░░░░░░░ the wake of this ░░░░░░░░ De Blasio You know ░░░░░░░░ I think there s ░░░░░░░░ to one thing going ░░░░░░░░ and I fear they ░░░░░░░░ all kind of being ░░░░░░░░ together in a way ░░░░░░░░ s just not fair ░░░░░░░░ not accurate What is ░░░░░░░░ in Washington the Justice ░░░░░░░░ in general is to ░░░░░░░░ a travesty I m ░░░░░░░░ about everything we re ░░░░░░░░ the overt politicization of ░░░░░░░░ Justice Department Obviously Attorney ░░░░░░░░ Bondi has an enemies ░░░░░░░░ whether she acknowledged it ░░░░░░░░ her confirmation hearings or ░░░░░░░░ There s a lot ░░░░░░░░ s going on that ░░░░░░░░ extremely problematic That is ░░░░░░░░ different question than what ░░░░░░░░ happening with Mayor Adams ░░░░░░░░ notion that Mayor Adams ░░░░░░░░ a position on immigration ░░░░░░░░ might be different than ░░░░░░░░ other Democrats all you ░░░░░░░░ to do is pay ░░░░░░░░ to what he s ░░░░░░░░ saying for years to ░░░░░░░░ that difference I don ░░░░░░░░ happen to agree with ░░░░░░░░ on a number of ░░░░░░░░ he says or does ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ s fair to say ░░░░░░░░ he has that view ░░░░░░░░ therefore there s a ░░░░░░░░ pro quo I don ░░░░░░░░ see evidence of a ░░░░░░░░ pro quo I also ░░░░░░░░ and I have said ░░░░░░░░ for a while that ░░░░░░░░ original charges brought against ░░░░░░░░ appear to me to ░░░░░░░░ very flimsy The mistake ░░░░░░░░ I think is the ░░░░░░░░ Department could have and ░░░░░░░░ have said these charges ░░░░░░░░ just not strong enough ░░░░░░░░ continue to pursue Apparently ░░░░░░░░ some of what they ░░░░░░░░ out today they actually ░░░░░░░░ say that but that ░░░░░░░░ the way they should ░░░░░░░░ handled it They shouldn ░░░░░░░░ have kept it an ░░░░░░░░ prosecution They should have ░░░░░░░░ there s nothing there ░░░░░░░░ not enough here to ░░░░░░░░ with so we re ░░░░░░░░ the case.”
