Are the feds targeting Eric Adams because he criticized Joe Biden?

Seizing Mayor Adams’ phones and tablet on the street in public is the
latest sign the feds aren’t simply investigating him: They’re out to
inflict maximum embarrassment in a political vendetta, presumably in
retribution for the noise he’s made about President Biden’s disastrous
border policies.

The mayor is easy to find, 24/7/365: What reason to ambush him publicly
event except to humiliate him?

And why else make sure his No. 1 press enemy, The New York Times, gets the
story first?

Mind you, this follows the opening raid in this investigation — which
stormed the home of his top fund-raiser while Adams was in the air en
route to Washington to press Biden on his failure to help the city bear
the multibillion-dollar cost of caring for the illegal migrants the prez
is waving into the country.

That one leaked to the Times first, too.

And sources told The Post that timing was also intentional; the feds
denied it — but of course they would.

To be clear: We have no idea whether the FBI will ever produce evidence
that Adams did wrong, let alone whether he actually did.

It’s certainly beyond common for campaigns to accept donations they later
learn were illegal; it definitely looks like the construction company in
this case used straw donors to fraudulently conceal its giving.

But it usually takes the feds years to catch on, usually to a major
pattern of violations, as in the case that sent multiple Andrew Cuomo
donors and aides to prison.

Nor need we remind readers in detail about the years it has taken to
investigate Hunter Biden.

Which suggests a full-on effort to find something to hang on Adams ASAP —
making the investigation a political hit whether or not he’s guilty.

And Adams’ repeated blasts at Biden over the migrant crisis are an obvious
motive for that political abuse of law enforcement.

The mayor won’t appreciate us making this point, but this resembles the
multiple prosecutions of ex-President Donald Trump: Even where Trump has
crossed lines (e.g., in holding on to classified documents), the feds’
zealousness is all out of proportion in his case vs. other notorious
violators of the same statutes, such as Hillary Clinton and Biden himself.

Weaponizing the FBI and Justice Department for political purposes is a
major threat to democracy, no matter the victim. Congress needs to start
asking tough questions about the Adams case.

The investigation is the punishment.

The FBI and the Democratic Party are well seasoned and experienced in
inflicting maximum investigative punishment.

Why has every investigation of Trump leaked like a sieve (especially to
the Times), but the Biden documents investigation is the best kept secret
since the Manhattan Project.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed
dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
