It's great to talk to you.

Okay, what do we know? We know that there was a meeting last Friday with Danielle Sassoon and her deputies. She was in charge of, and her office was in charge of, the criminal case against the mayor of the city of New York, Eric Adams. It was brought about nine months ago. And the defense lawyers were there and Emil Bove was there. He is the acting deputy attorney general.

New York minute ago, he was one of the criminal defense lawyers for Donald Trump. So he is a placeholder for the Trump administration in that position. And he's going to become the number two to the number two when Tom Blanche becomes the deputy attorney general. His confirmation hearing is pending in the Senate right now. Todd Blanche. Todd Blanche.

So there's various disputes as to what happened at that meeting. But Danielle Sassoon, the head of the now former head of the Southern District of New There was sort of laid out a quid pro quo of I will sort of enforce your immigration policy in exchange for your dismissing the case. That has been disputed by Eric Adams' defense counsel. Understandable he would dispute it even if it happened.

It's possible that there's just two different versions of what happened. More on that later. That is then followed up by a directive from Eyal Bove on Monday to the Southern District of New York saying, you need to dismiss this case without prejudice. I'm not basing this on the facts or the law. I'm basing it on two things. One, The case was brought too close to the New York City primary.

That's a bogus, absurd argument. It was brought nine months before the primary. And there's zero DOJ rules about not bringing a case within nine months of a primary. So that's just a fictitious reason. And it's important that you make that judgment because it's like, why would you come up with that fictitious reason? Why not just go with the truth? if what you're doing is real.

The second reason was sort of saying the quiet part out loud, which we're used to, which was the criminal indictment is going to interfere with the mayor's ability to carry out Donald Trump's immigration policies. That seems to corroborate what Danielle Sassoon said happened on Friday.

Notably, by the way, in her letter describing what happened, she says at that meeting, her deputies took notes and Emile Bove said, at the end of the meeting said, don't take notes and confiscated them and took them. Again, why would you possibly care about somebody taking notes, which people do all the time, if nothing was being said that you in any way That was improper.
