Kathy Hochul—Who Has Power To Remove Eric Adams—Speaks: 'Disturbing'
Story by Jenna Sundel • 19h



Democratic New York Governor Kathy Hochul broke her silence on Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams' indictment on Thursday as she is faced with the decision on whether to use her power to oust him.

Following Adams' indictment on five criminal charges on Thursday, Hochul now has the power to remove him from office. Adams does not need to go to trial or be convicted for her to invoke this power.

"I have carefully reviewed the indictment released by the United States Department of Justice. This indictment is the latest in a disturbing pattern of events that has, understandably, contributed to a sense of unease among many New Yorkers," Hochul said in a statement.

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

I would take the comment to mean she has been ordered by the DNC to get rid of him. :pondering:

Feds seize phone from Mayor Adams’ right-hand woman as she returns to US soil
Story by Craig McCarthy, Joe Marino, Aneeta Bhole, Matt Troutman • 15h


Mayor Eric Adams’ chief adviser Ingrid Lewis-Martin was stopped at the airport by authorities Friday and had her phone seized as she arrived home from vacation in Japan, her lawyer and sources told The Post.

Officials with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office were waiting for the City Hall honcho when she got off the plane at Kennedy Airport in Queens to take her device — while federal prosecutors with the Southern District of New York slapped her with a subpoena while there, also, sources said.

It wasn’t immediately clear what the federal subpoena was for.

You don't suppose it has something to do with the indictment against Adams, do you? :whistle:

If the Lily White Gov removes Black mayor ...  She must be a racist.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
