Federal judge drops corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams (www.npr.org)

The order from U.S. Judge Dale Ho brings an end to the case against Adams, who had pleaded not guilty to conspiracy, bribery, wire fraud and other charges following his indictment last year.

Ho said he was dismissing the case with prejudice, meaning the government could not bring the charges again later — contrary to the Justice Department's request to dismiss the case without prejudice.

Adams was scheduled to go on trial in April until new leadership at the Justice Department under the Trump administration ordered prosecutors in New York in February to drop the case.

IMHO we have the power to make people like Dale Ho very uncomfortable. His info is all public, just needs to be made more visible. It should not be ok for these corrupt judges to continue to fly under the radar.

Or anyone taking money to sell our rights or justice system for that matter.
