#EricAdams, a *Democrat*, is resisting growing calls to resign. Gov #KathyHochul is also under increasing pressure to remove him from office.

The 4 ofcls who are expected to resign are all respected govt veterans. Ms. Torres-Springer was elevated to the 2nd most powerful job at City Hall in Oct in an effort to stabilize city govt & restore confidence in his admin following the mayor’s federal #indictment in Sept on 5 #corruption counts.

"Has the Special Counsel Jack Smith done enough to convince Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Roberts that Trump's Pence pressure campaign, use of fake electors and extortion of elected officials in places like Georgia are prosecutable, non-immune criminal acts even under the Supreme Court's July immunity decision?"

Major #newspapers are giving #Trump’s #January6 #indictment dramatically less attention than they did #Clinton’s email server
Obsessive #news #media focus on Clinton’s server in final weeks of #election2016 helped Trump to victory, even as #Comey ultimately reconfirmed that no charges were appropriate. 8yr later, with one presidential candidate facing active prosecution for federal charges related to his attempt to subvert election, outlets are making different choices.

Re #Trump’s claims that #JackieSmith’s filing is in violation of the #DOJ’s 60 day before an election policy is BS. The DOJ's "60-day rule" applies to bringing NEW indictments in the days leading up to an #election, it is not relevant to the #ElectionInterference / #ElectionSubversion / #Jan6 / #FakeElectors #criminal #conspiracy case.

This is NOT a new #indictment. It is a #filing in regard to a VERY OLD indictment. Trump was first indicted in this case in Aug 2023.

#JackSmith’s Big New #Jan6 Brief Is a Major #Indictment of #SCOTUS

It’s rare to simultaneously feel red-hot anger & wistfulness, especially when merely reading a document. But those are exactly the emotions that washed over me when I read the redacted version of #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith’s brief reciting in detail the #evidence against #Trump for attempting to subvert the #2020election.

Slate · Jack Smith’s Big New Jan. 6 Brief Is a Major Indictment of the Supreme CourtBy Richard L. Hasen

"Finally, Section IV explains the relief sought by the #Government and specifies the findings the #Court should make in a single order—namely, that the defendant’s conduct set forth in Section I is not immunized, and that as a result, the defendant must stand #trial on the superseding #indictment and the Government is not prohibited at trial from using evidence of the conduct described in Section I."

Kathy Hochul, the only person with the power to oust Eric Adams as Mayor, is "very concerned" about the indictment -- much like Susan Collins has always been "very concerned."

She's not going to bounce him, folks. At least not until there's a seismic shift in Eric Adams's approval rating. Which there will be.
