Nah, I think they are thrilled to have Adams beholden to Trump and equally thrilled to have professional prosecutors at SDNY quit rather than drop the case against Adams — clears the way to put cronies in those jobs.
 
Agree with Josh Marshall that Hochul should remove Adams now. He’s bought and paid for in an explicit quid pro quo. He should be taken out immediately.
 
This is Saturday Night Massacre level story being obscured in an avalanche of news (including the Trump Admin basically announcing the USA has gone over to the Dark Side now):

DOJ engaging in a public quid pro quo to drop charges against an indicted public official in exchange for him supporting the Administration’s immigration policies. The SDNY attorneys quit instead of doing so. DOJ official, the former personal criminal lawyer of POTUS, threatens line attorneys in SDNY if one of them doesn’t sign the filing to drop the charges (but won’t do so himself) or risk them all being fired.
 


  • It ended with Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove pulling the DOJ's remaining public integrity prosecutors into a room and warning them that if one didn't agree to file the motion dismissing the charges within an hour, they could all be fired, Reuters reports.
  • One prosecutor finally agreed to do so under duress, per Reuters.

“… Acting Deputy U.S. Attorney General Emil Bove and lawyers from the department’s public integrity section and criminal division in Washington filed paperwork seeking to end the case. A judge still has to sign off on the request.

The formal move to end the prosecution came after days of turmoil in the Justice Department. At least seven prosecutors in New York and Washington quit rather than carry out a directive to halt the case.

The Justice Department’s three-page motion sought to dismiss the case without prejudice, meaning the charges could be revived in the future. …”

Keep Adams under pressure and in line with Trump demands.
 
Is there any possibility the attorneys involved in crafting this quid pro quo could face sanctions or even disbarment?
 
Given the disclosures in the case, and Sassoon's letter, I have trouble believing that the judge will grant the motion.
