Somebody Wasn’t a Good Boy
According to Daily Wire:
New York City Democrat Mayor Eric Adams was indicted on multiple federal corruption charges in an indictment that was unsealed on Thursday.
Adams, whose residence was raided on Thursday morning, was indicted on one count of Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud, Federal Program Bribery, and to Receive Campaign Contributions By Foreign Nationals; one count of Wire Fraud; one count of Bribery, and two counts of Solicitation of a Contribution by a Foreign National.
The indictment says that Adams began soliciting and accepting improper benefits as a public official dating back to 2014, including luxury international travel from wealthy foreign businesspeople and at least one Turkish government official seeking to gain influence over him.
Adams “not only accepted, but sought illegal campaign contributions to his 2021 mayoral campaign, as well as other things of value, from foreign nationals,” the indictment said.
Prosecutors said that those who had illegally donated to Adams’ campaign sought to cash in on their investment and were rewarded with “favorable treatment.”
Adams “sought and accepted illegal campaign contributions in the form of ‘nominee’ or ‘straw’ contributions, meaning that the true contributors conveyed their money through nominal donors, who falsely certified they were contributing their own money,” the indictment said.
He allegedly compounded his corrupt gains by using them to defraud the city and steal from public funds.

This Is the Plan
According to the Post Millennial:
A whistleblower has come forward alleging that the Secret Service told former President Donald Trump’s team that it didn’t have sufficient resources to secure a rally the campaign wanted to hold in Wisconsin. Senator Josh Hawley revealed that the whistleblower’s account was provided to his office.
In a letter to Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe, Hawley asked if the denial occurred noting that if so, the Secret Service “effectively forced the Trump campaign to cancel an upcoming event in Wisconsin.”
Hawley continued, “Other whistleblowers with knowledge of Secret Service planning protocols allege that failure to provide protection for a major public event is highly unusual and that a sitting president would never be denied resources in this way.”
If the whistleblower’s allegations are accurate, Hawley noted that the claims contradict what Rowe said during a press conference last Friday held to provide an update on the Secret Service’s internal investigation into the first of two assassination attempts on Trump. During the presser, Rowe claimed Trump is “getting everything that the current president has with respect to Secret Service assets.”
Hawley added, “That same night, Secret Service secured a rally for Vice President [Kamala] Harris in Madison, Wisconsin.”
“Yet, according to a whistleblower with direct knowledge of that exchange, Secret Service recently told the Trump campaign that it did not have sufficient assets to secure a potential campaign rally in Wisconsin for the former president.”
Hawley suggested that a “double standard” that may be influencing the presidential campaign security by the Secret Service.
