“There’s almost a surprising bit of good news in there if you squint: As hard as it is to believe, Eric Adams is the first sitting mayor of New York City to be indicted on federal charges. I’d have thought he’d be the fifth or the sixth or something. New York, our greatest city, is also our exemplary city, both at its best and at its worst. … Longtime observers of American municipal politics will not be entirely shocked by the suggestion that a mayor applied some political pressure on behalf of a campaign donor. That happens all the time, and it is rarely prosecuted as a crime. … If Adams is in trouble for doing illegally that which he might have done legally, his real crime isn’t corruption — it is stupidity.” (09/30/24)
