Still in progress but Judge Ho is carefully working through the details. Not sure what he can really do other than get it on the record — could he refuse to accept it unless it is dismissed with prejudice (to remove the appearance of the Federal Government holding future prosecution on these charges over Adams’ head to force compliance with other agendas)? Bove seems to open the door to question why this is not dismissed with prejudice base in his testimony so far …
 
Kathy Hochul is the opposite of a profile in courage. I bet she agonizes over whether she should add salt to a potato salad.

I think giving the government a choice between dismissal with prejudice and no dismissal would indeed be the correct outcome, especially after Bove compared this situation to an exchange of hostages.

Probably they would just dismiss the charges because Trump is fond of anyone and everyone engaged in public fraud, but at least it would eliminate any leverage they have AND Adams is still going to lose.
 
Just for the record, I am completely opposed to this. This ranks up there with he blanket pardons to me. A black mark on trump.
 


Interesting article about the docket of the judge (Ho) who is deciding the Adams withdrawal matter. Turns out Ho also has oversight of two related cases where one of the parties ready plead guilty but appears to have been cooperating with the investigation and another seems poised to enter a guilty plea on a lesser charge — all relating to the alleged bribes of Adams.

So Ho had a great deal more insight into the underlying case against Adams than the media covering the Adams hearing, which likely is informing his handling of the dismissal. It also makes you wonder about the fairness of the plea deal now with the cooperating witness (and seems to have letting limbo the other pending plea).
 
Paul Clement is an interesting choice. I think Judge Ho is likely focusing on the correct issue and I suspect that he is looking to the prejudice issue as a way of removing the harm.

Judge Ho is very good. I was impressed.

I believe that Trump receives orange marks for his many corrupt moves that occur daily. That is why he looks more like a pumpkin with every passing day.
