Eric Adams Gets Helpful Assist From Paul Clement - Above the Law
Briefly

Judge Dale Ho questioned Paul Clement, a prominent conservative lawyer, about the DOJ's decision to dismiss the case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams without prejudice. Judge Ho raised concerns over the political motivations of the dismissal, especially after multiple prosecutors resigned. The discussion centered on the need for judicial oversight in cases perceived to be influenced by political agendas. Ultimately, Clement greenlighted the dismissal while critiquing the 'without prejudice' stance of the DOJ, signaling a complex legal landscape surrounding political prosecutions.
"Judge Ho harbored understandable concerns when the decision from DOJ leadership prompted resignations from those involved, raising questions about political motivations behind the case dismissal."
"Clement's decision allowed the dismissal but criticized the DOJ's 'without prejudice' stance, suggesting it undermined accountability regarding the Mayor's alleged foreign bribes."
