Menendez and Egypt, Adams and Turkey.

Prosecutors and the F.B.I. are investigating whether Mayor Eric Adams’s 2021 campaign conspired with Turkey’s government, a search warrant shows.
The investigation burst into public view on Thursday when federal agents conducted an early-morning raid at the Brooklyn home of the mayor’s chief fund-raiser, Brianna Suggs.

Nah, more Mayor Royce w/o the charisma (there's dozens of golden moments in "the wire"):

I've never watched the Wire, saving it for some future pandemic

It was good but with many claiming it is a top 5 or 10 show of all time its overrated.

I nearly got a part in the show in season two. I'm bitter

but twenty years later I'll consider watching it. I was nearly getting a lot of stuff back then.

I have not seen Sons of Anarchy either, same reason. I did watch Fringe though as missing out on that was my fault.

It's pretty darn good. Top 10, maybe top 5 personal favorite and I've watched pretty much everything.

Odd one, I've popped over to Holland and the guys next to me eating my broodje shoarma met frietjes* were talking about their favourite actors and the Wire was mentioned. It must be a sign.

*Traditional Dutch after pub meal from the Egyptians.

If you need to call Mayor Adams, don't be surprised when an FBI agent answers instead.

The Deep State got him just as he was going to visit Biden on immigration, how about that timing
The Feds had enough of his complaining

Last Thursday, Adams was set to meet with White House officials and other mayors over the migrant crisis. The mayor boarded a plane and talked up the importance of the trip, but never made the meeting, leaving it to other cities to plead for federal support.
