#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.

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.

"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."

"Tenet was founded in 2022 by Lauren Chen, a conservative Canadian... and is a contributor to #rightwing activist group Turning Point USA. She wrote opinion pieces for #RT in 2021 and 2022.

According to the #indictment, the #Tennessee company's founders worked with Kalashnikov and Afanasyeva — who they knew were #Russian — to recruit influencers to make videos that were published across #YouTube, #TikTok, #Instagram and X. [ #Twitter ]"

The details included in the #SeanCombs #Racketeering #SexTrafficking #SexualAbuse #indictment are pretty horrific. Clearly prosecutors have an enormous amount of evidence including video.

A few details that stick out:

He kept sex workers drugged & artificially hydrated to keep them against their will & to continue in the abuse.

He used firearms to threaten them.

He video recorded to blackmail them into silence.

Multiple people in his employment were complicit or actively participated.

The group, dubbed "The TerrorGram Collective" used the social media site #Telegram to celebrate #WhiteSupremacist attacks around the world & solicit racially motivated #violence, acc/to an #indictment unsealed in federal court in #Sacramento, #California.

The group's targets also included U.S. #government officials & critical #infrastructure sites, w/an overall goal of causing societal collapse in the #UnitedStates, U.S. #Justice Department officials told an online news conference.
