    Must admit, did not expect that. They had his ass dead to rights, dozens of times over.

    But then again, who doesn't dabble in some good ol' fashion bribery, and how often are there consequences. So not really surprising.

    I wonder how MAGA in NYC will mental gymnastics this one.

    He's universally deeply hated here, and Trump's base hated him from the start anyway because of being Democrat associated.

    All he needs to do is tweet MAGA and move to upstate. He'll be taken care of.

    Charges dismissed WITHOUT prejudice btw, feds can snap them right back on any time they want. Eric Adams is Trump's bitch for the indefinite future.

    Trump has pardoned Rod Blagojevich.

    Blago says he's now a MAGA "Trump-o-crat" and will support the admin 100%

    Genuine question, how would they do that?

    Even if Trump takes no actions like pardoning/obstructing, the courts don't arrest people, right?

    I could definitely see it becoming an enforcement priority in a future administration if Trump doesn't pardon everyone, but ??? will there be a future administration???

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    I'm not really worried about anything too much anymore. This ends with boots on streets and heads on pikes. It's too far gone for anything else.

    The US Marshall service is supposed to mete out the actual enforcement of judicial rulings, they're controlled by the DoJ. So basically there are no rules, do whatever you want as long as you have money. Yes that was the case before but now it's out loud.

    "Hey, stop breaking the law."

    Breaking laws while spreading lies, and everyone has to play catch up.

    They do, it's called contempt.

    So if administration officials are in contempt of court, who arrests them and brings them to the court to face judgment and, if guilty, punishment? Like, the judge doesn't show up at their house with handcuffs, right?

    If the answer is anyone in the executive branch, then would they not also be committing a crime if a political directed them not to arrest someone and they did it anyway? If everyone conflicted about their inaction quits, don't we still have the same outcome (no one gets arrested) and in addition all the remaining people are shitheads?

    I hope I am wrong and bailiffs are secretly part of the judicial branch and have the power to arrest people and house them until trial, but I don't think that is the case.

    It's usually done in the Courtroom by the bailiff and courthouse officers, the judge can order the attorneys to make sure they show. This can both get the attorneys in trouble if the person doesn't show, as well as a bench warrant for the person failing to appear.

    It also requires them to, you know, actually listen and do all that.
