I guess that is plausible. Seems like weak sauce if that is the case. I can't think of a better reason than that for now, but it really is interesting that they would seem to have a desire to go after him over Hunter Biden. Even though you can make the case that this is Biden's DoJ, we can also agree that Biden isn't really pulling the levers in this govt. I'm sure it would be of far more benefit for them to find a convenient way of pushing Biden aside with a scandal and make way for Gavin Newsome instead of triffling with Eric Adams.I think this is being done because he voiced displeasure with Biden’s immigration policies. The FBI has dirt on every person on this country. Every single politician is dirty, so this seems like retribution.
Wait a minute... I haven't been keeping up with this particular story. Wasn't there some rumors about his ties to Turkey like a year or two ago? I could have sworn that there was a story posted in here around that time that had made allegations about him, but I can't seem to find that story. Can't find it on Google, either. But this doesn't sound like a new story. The timing is very suspicious. Not that I'm saying he is innocent, just wondering why they are now wanting to go after Eric Adams foreign ties all of a sudden but seem to drag their feet on Joe and Hunter Biden's foreign ties. Odd..
Appeals Court: FBI's safe-deposit box seizures violated Fourth Amendment
Cases like this are exactly why the Fourth Amendment was adopted in the first place, wrote federal Judge Milan D. Smith Jr.reason.com
more of the FBI ignoring the rights of the citizens. and note this is the 9th circuit ruling this.
"The FBI violated the Fourth Amendment when its agents rifled through the contents of more than 700 safe-deposit boxes in the aftermath of a March 2021 raid, a panel of federal appeals court judges ruled unanimously on Tuesday.
In doing so, the judges at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed what innocent victims of the raid and their attorneys have been arguing for years: that the FBI overstepped the bounds of its warrant issued in the case and failed to follow proper protocol when federal agents cracked open safe-deposit boxes, ran the contents past drug-sniffing dogs, and tried to seize some of the money and other valuables found in the boxes."
and by "tried" they mean they actually did it, but another judge already made them give it back and the FBI was appealing that in this round. this article doesn't cover it, but others have said that the FBI hasn't actually returned most of what they illegally took despite court orders.
