Listen to Support it, WNYC Studios.

Hi Brian Lehrer here.

Up next Brian Lehrer weekend, three of our favorite segments from the week, packaged together

for you to listen to on the weekend.

So enjoy, and I'll see you back on the radio Monday at 10 a.m. on WNYC and WNYC now to the indictment of Mayor Adams, perhaps the most important

development over the weekend was the Reverend Al Sharpton coming out against Governor

Hockel using her power to remove Adams from office if he won't resign.

We'll get a take on the Adams situation now from Ellie Mistahl, justice correspondent for the Nation magazine magazine and author of the book

Allow Me to Retort a Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution and he hosts the

podcast Contempt of Court. He has an article on the nation's website called,

it's going to be hard for Eric Adams to swagger his way out of this mess.

And on Friday show, we mentioned this tweet from Ellie, which

read, the fact that Adams is the first sitting New York City mayor

to face federal criminal charges actually says more about how law enforcement lets mayors of New York City get away with crime

than anything else.

Guess they decided to apply the rules to Adams, can't imagine why, with a smile emoji.

Ellie always good of you to come on welcome back to WNYC.

Hi Brian, how are you doing?

It's always nice to be able to talk about the Southern District of New York

actually indicting people suspected of crime.

That's fun to see.

Yeah, as opposed to certain former presidents who we will talk about a little bit later in the segment.
