Al Sharpton: If Trump Truly Felt Eric Adams Was a Victim of a Political Vendetta, Why Didn’t He Pardon Him?

Tur So Rev let ░░░░░░░░ talk about the political ░░░░░░░░ here I know you ░░░░░░░░ you know a longtime ░░░░░░░░ of Mayor Adams but ░░░░░░░░ city seems to be ░░░░░░░░ his leadership right now ░░░░░░░░ ve got the deputy ░░░░░░░░ stepping down There are ░░░░░░░░ about how the government ░░░░░░░░ going to adequately be ░░░░░░░░ to function in a ░░░░░░░░ like this There s ░░░░░░░░ questions from individual New ░░░░░░░░ about where Mayor Adams ░░░░░░░░ now lies You heard ░░░░░░░░ mention a moment ago ░░░░░░░░ New York Times did ░░░░░░░░ reporting on this I ░░░░░░░░ I ve certainly had ░░░░░░░░ with tons of folks ░░░░░░░░ this city but one ░░░░░░░░ in particular saying he ░░░░░░░░ a puppet he s ░░░░░░░░ Pinocchio mayor now How ░░░░░░░░ is this position of ░░░░░░░░ SHARPTON I think that ░░░░░░░░ ve made clear that ░░░░░░░░ ve been a friend ░░░░░░░░ the mayor s for ░░░░░░░░ but we have disagreed ░░░░░░░░ I strongly disagree that ░░░░░░░░ mayor is some victim ░░░░░░░░ a political vendetta I ░░░░░░░░ that to him I ░░░░░░░░ that any number of ░░░░░░░░ in public And I ░░░░░░░░ that it was in ░░░░░░░░ mayor s interest to ░░░░░░░░ to trial and prove ░░░░░░░░ innocent if he s ░░░░░░░░ Just because someone has ░░░░░░░░ you ve been knowing ░░░░░░░░ lot of years does ░░░░░░░░ mean that you re ░░░░░░░░ to not look at ░░░░░░░░ fact that it is ░░░░░░░░ suspect to me that ░░░░░░░░ White House and this ░░░░░░░░ Department wanted to have ░░░░░░░░ trial put off with ░░░░░░░░ prejudice so that they ░░░░░░░░ try him again when ░░░░░░░░ they felt he was ░░░░░░░░ President Trump genuinely felt ░░░░░░░░ he was a victim ░░░░░░░░ a political vendetta then ░░░░░░░░ didn t he pardon ░░░░░░░░ And my only answer ░░░░░░░░ I could think of ░░░░░░░░ wouldn t pardon him ░░░░░░░░ then they wouldn t ░░░░░░░░ this leash to yank ░░░░░░░░ him if he didn ░░░░░░░░ do what they wanted ░░░░░░░░ to do When he ░░░░░░░░ on FOX television the ░░░░░░░░ morning and Homan said ░░░░░░░░ his face You know ░░░░░░░░ you didn t do ░░░░░░░░ we wanted I d ░░░░░░░░ up your butt I ░░░░░░░░ never seen a mayor ░░░░░░░░ a major city the ░░░░░░░░ city in the country ░░░░░░░░ humiliated and he took ░░░░░░░░ So I ve said ░░░░░░░░ I repeat that I ░░░░░░░░ that the culprit in ░░░░░░░░ is the Trump Administration ░░░░░░░░ this situation having the ░░░░░░░░ fight against a black ░░░░░░░░ S Attorney Damian Williams ░░░░░░░░ a black mayor and ░░░░░░░░ us in the middle ░░░░░░░░ people will decide the ░░░░░░░░ and an election but ░░░░░░░░ think this judge today ░░░░░░░░ little power whatever power ░░░░░░░░ has ought to raise ░░░░░░░░ question Do you have ░░░░░░░░ to say that this ░░░░░░░░ a political vendetta What ░░░░░░░░ the evidence Do you ░░░░░░░░ evidence to say that ░░░░░░░░ indict him nine months ░░░░░░░░ the primary is too ░░░░░░░░ a time when many ░░░░░░░░ campaign early so that ░░░░░░░░ mean all you have ░░░░░░░░ do is say I ░░░░░░░░ going to run for ░░░░░░░░ to stop an indictment ░░░░░░░░ do you have any ░░░░░░░░ of that standing up ░░░░░░░░ I agree with the ░░░░░░░░ on immigration or I ░░░░░░░░ with the president on ░░░░░░░░ matters is grounds for ░░░░░░░░ criminal indictment voted by ░░░░░░░░ grand jury should not ░░░░░░░░ That to me would ░░░░░░░░ unprecedented.”
