Mayor Eric Adams stint as the Mayor of New York City has been filled with all kinds of controversy, and idiocy, since he took office in 2022. Now it seems like he and other high-ranking figures in the Big Apple will be going down with his ship as the FBI continues to investigate Eric Adams for alleged crimes committed while in office.
According to ABC7, NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban has resigned from his position after the FBI confiscated the cell phones of himself and others in their ongoing investigation of the Mayor and his inner circle. Though Caban doesn’t necessarily explain what led to his departure from the force, he feels that the investigation itself was enough of a distraction for the NYPD that he felt it be better for him to step down and deal with the consequences in quiet saying, “I am unwilling to let my attention be on anything other than our important work, or the safety of the men and women of the NYPD.”
He knows he’s in trouble something bigly.
ABC7 reports:
The mayor appointed Tom Donlon as interim commissioner. Donlon is a former FBI agent and former New York Homeland Security director.
“My goals are clear: continue the historic progress decreasing crime and removing illegal guns from our communities, uphold the highest standards of integrity and transparency, and support our dedicated officers who put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe,” Donlon said in a statement provided by City Hall.
Although he resigned, Caban’s attorney said he “unequivocally denies any wrongdoing” and has fully cooperated with investigators.
We won’t be surprised if Caban goes Tekashi 6ix9ine and throws Adams and everyone else under the bus to get himself out of trouble.
That being said, Eric Adams has alienated much of New York City with his decisions and policies, so if he ends up getting indicted at some point in the future, New Yorkers may actually celebrate the moment similar to the way we rejoiced when Donald Trump was indicted multiple times. Just sayin.’
We just wonder if Eric Adams would throw himself a going away party as the man has developed a reputation for enjoying a good night out with celebrities any chance he gets.
