While U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has often been accused of heading up a “weaponized” DOJ out to get Donald Trump and his Republican allies, the Wednesday news of New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ federal indictment is the latest example of a high-profile Democrat facing a criminal case of historic proportions.

The indictment, unsealed Thursday, charges Adams with bribery, wire fraud, solicitation of a contribution by a foreign national, and conspiracy to commit those offenses,  a development that was not out of the blue considering the feds nearly a year ago seized the mayor’s phones while probing campaign donations of Turkish origins.
