This might be the most nakedly corrupt document I’ve seen on DOJ letterhead — and I wrote a history of Watergate!
“You are directed … to dismiss the pending charges in United States v. Adams, No. 24 Cr. 556 (SDNY)…. The Justice Department has reached this conclusion without assessing the strength of the evidence or the legal theories on which the case is based”
![Memorandum from the Acting Deputy Attorney General
Dismissal Without Prejudice of Prosecution of Mayor Eric Adams
Page 2
Of The Federal Government. These actions and the underlying case have also improperly interfered with Mayor Adams' campaign in the 2025 mayoral election. See Justice Manual § 9-
85.500, entitled Actions that May Have an Impact on an Election.
Second, the pending prosecution has unduly restricted Mayor Adams' ability to devote full attention and resources to the illegal immigration and violent crime that escalated under the policies of the prior Administration. We are particularly concerned about the impact of the prosecution on Mayor Adams' ability to support critical, ongoing federal efforts "to protect the American people from the disastrous effects of unlawful mass migration and resettlement," as described in Executive Order 14165.' Accomplishing the immigration objectives established by President Trump and the Attorney General is every bit as important—if not more so as the objectives that the prior Administration pursued by releasing violent criminals such as Viktor Bout, the "Merchant of Death."? Accordingly, based on these additional concerns that are distinct from the weaponization problems, dismissal without prejudice is also necessary at this time.
' Your Office correctly noted in a February 3, 2025 memorandum, *as Mr. Bove clearly stated to defense counsel during our meeting [on January 31, 2025], the Government is not offering to exchange dismissal of a criminal case for Adams's assistance on immigration enforcement."
2 According to an October 2024 Wall Street Journal article, Bout has already started to participate in arms deals again, including negotiations with representatives of Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthis. https://www.wsj.com/world/russia/putins-merchant-of-death-is-back-in-](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:on5oeywiqx32fh2zau473wz6/bafkreidtbdebawe7yluohx6ktbosdjqfdcf7ukryaemdjtgcpygzklaefe@jpeg)

One reason the press is being very cautious about talking about a constitutional crisis is that the top Democrats in the country are talking about high grocery prices. Try to imagine it from their perspective: how do they report on a "crisis" that even the opposition doesn't seem to acknowledge?
I really don't understand the ambiguity here. Trump deputized the richest man on the planet to unilaterally cut off congressionally-funded and congressionally-authorized agencies. A power which neither of them can wield legitimately. That was the beginning of the constitutional crisis right there.

Is anyone surprised?
Fun fact — when asked whether he would lower the price of groceries while in office, Trump’s answer was:
“I don't think so. Look, they got them up. I'd like to bring them down. It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard.”
Congratulations to the “price of eggs” idiots.
