Increasingly convinced that the feds are about to throw the entire NYC government in jail and I want to be very clear about this: I’m here for it. 🍿🍿🍿
Feds search home of interim NYPD commish, tho sources told reporters it’s related to documents from his previous job of running counter-terror for New York State, and not one of City Hall’s many legal morasses: www.nytimes.com/2024/09/22/n...
Thomas G. Donlon, who recently took the interim role after Edward A. Caban resigned under a cloud, said the authorities had seized material unrelated to the Police Department.
Bill DeBlasio’s fatal mistake was in thinking that he could, as mayor, take on the NYPD’s culture of total unaccountability without having the DoJ firmly in his corner and about to rain down indictments like hellfire. Adams’ mistake seems to have been assuming that meant the feds didn’t care.
