Was there anything to talk about in New York City today? As prosecutors prepared to announce the case complaint from the mayorthe Eavesdropper was sitting at City Hall listening to police, security guards and AV technicians preparing for a council hearing, as usual. When the prosecutors opened their doors a press conferencethe Eavesdropper rode the elevator to Federal Square 26. Finally we walked to the offices of the municipal council and the General Assembly to linger at the revolving doors while politicians, staffers and voters gossiped on their way to lunch.

Hey guys, what a day!
I know.
Of course it had to happen today.
They won’t let us in?

He met with the board every week. I would never take that risk.
I dream about it.
Well, you have such a great story. You are a man who has worked hard. Some people would have stopped.
Well, I was on a visa for years. It keeps you close to the family.

I’m amazed at how many people showed up.
I’m not surprised, given the news.
A “Where were you when?”
Precisely. I mean, who has something better going on?

That man didn’t know how to just take a bite.

I saw the thing on Twitter and said, “Oh shit.”
I act normal. Don’t worry about tomorrow.
Have you spoken to X?

It just might be possible An foreign person.
I hear this is impacting human services and infrastructure.

Does he go to jail or here?

I’m just here to check it out. There have been some power problems
room.
I recently heard in Immigration that the camera went out.
There’s always something, right?
It’s not easy.

Hey hey, New York! Fuck Eric Adams! Fuck Eric Adams!

Did you hear Eric Adams is being arrested?
Okay!
Well, that’s how it is you will finally meets him.
Haha.
Strange world.
When it happens.

They said it was serious.
Did they do that?

I just looked at it, but it’s long. It’s so widespread. It’s so long. I don’t know how you defend this.
Excuse me, who was that?
That’s Rob Holden, City Council. More moderate, conservative – very pro-Adams.

It’s completely unprecedented. This could go back decades – back to the Brooklyn borough president. There are photos in the indictment of luxury hotel rooms, all paid for by foreigners. This portrays the mayor as someone who –

What is? Are we still some kind of rotating chicken?
Everyone is gone today. Did he go to headquarters?
He doesn’t even want this position. They’ll just take his job away.

Ideally, we would expand it to the entire DOJ –
How you doing, dude?
Couldn’t be better!

I will not go into the machinations of the popular theater –
There’s no more room in there.
Do you have an overflow room where we can check it out?
I don’t think so. We previously had problems with our live stream.
I’m at the X. It’s a major news service across Europe and South America —
Oh man. This is ridiculous. We were waiting all day for this thing. I shouldn’t have left.
I’m so sorry. You went out?
Well, it was raining and I had to pee.

I’ll talk to you later. I don’t want to vent here.

The fact that he is relatively famous in Turkey – I thought: What? I think so now he is. But sooner?
Man gets by, I guess.
What a day. What a crazy day. Were you surprised?
I wasn’t surprised, but yes, the shoe dropped.

They have trackers in those cars, so I can’t even drive them.

Yes, I heard it.
Where did you hear it?
I have a large antenna.
You have friends in high places.

He was wearing a Trump hat and said: ‘They lie! They are telling a lie!” Where are we going?
The one we went to last week.
I just have so many questions. All these referendums he had consolidated executive power – it seems strange.

Rikers – no, that’s prison.

Apologies, excuses, excuses. I just think, from the prosecutor’s point of view, what a beautiful picture of evidence. What a fucking bastard. I mean, it’s really incredible. It’s really big… I’m outside… I wonder if there’s a place I can sit… No, okay, go finish it… Bye… Bye.

Can you believe that state ethics board thing I did last week, no, two weeks ago?
What did he say: “God does not ask for no apology”?
It’s dazzling.

I didn’t even see it until today.
What!? What were you doing?!

They get money for money.
He promoted the narrative that he is different.

It’s like snow falling. You know it’s coming, but it’s still beautiful to watch.

The person you want to call is currently under indictment.
He can still call me back!
