New York Times wonders if ‘targeting’ of NYC mayor is tied to recent Biden criticism
November 11, 2023 | Chris Donaldson

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been a vocal critic of President Joe Biden over the migrant crisis that has been plaguing his city, so much so that the question is being raised about whether his being targeted by the FBI is political retaliation.

Adams was publicly humiliated when the feds approached him on the street to confiscate his electronic devices this week, an encounter that was later reported by The New York Times, an outlet that is Hizzoner’s biggest critic, and the once venerable newspaper’s top competitor smells a rat.

“The agents approached the mayor after an event in Manhattan on Monday evening and asked his security detail to step away, a person with knowledge of the matter said. They climbed into his S.U.V. with him and, pursuant to a court-authorized warrant, took his devices, the person said,” The New York Times reported.

Are the feds targeting Eric Adams because he criticized Joe Biden?

Seizing Mayor Adams’ phones and tablet on the street in public is the latest sign the feds aren’t simply investigating him: They’re out to inflict maximum embarrassment in a political vendetta, presumably in retribution for the noise he’s made about President Biden’s disastrous border policies.
 
The mayor is easy to find, 24/7/365: What reason to ambush him publicly event except to humiliate him?

And why else make sure his No. 1 press enemy, The New York Times, gets the story first?

Mind you, this follows the opening raid in this investigation — which stormed the home of his top fund-raiser while Adams was in the air en route to Washington to press Biden on his failure to help the city bear the multibillion-dollar cost of caring for the illegal migrants the prez is waving into the country.

That one leaked to the Times first, too.
