NY Trial Attorney David Schwartz Talking about NYC Mayor Eric Adams & Potential Bribes @NewsmaxTV ‪@judgingfreedom‬

0:00
I don't know if mayor Adams is innocent
0:01
or guilty but in my view it's better for
0:04
him to walk free than permit the system
0:07
to bribe him with impunity now I want to
0:09
open up this discussion with my good
0:11
friends and esteemed lawyers Doug Burns
0:14
and David Schwarz David to you first is
0:18
this a bribe to the mayor it's not a
0:21
bribe judge you know I I agree with the
0:23
general premise that you laid out that
0:25
there is something wrong with a with a
0:27
Criminal Justice System where if the
0:31
defendant can do something for the
0:33
prosecution their case could be
0:34
dismissed but this is normal course of
0:36
business okay so deals are made all the
0:40
time in in federal court and this
0:44
situation is not a bribe it actually is
0:47
trying to undo a faulty case in the
0:50
first place of taking a couple of
0:52
upgrades on flights so so and other
0:55
things which I know we don't want to get
0:56
into here we we'll get into some of the
0:58
details after the break but I I have to
1:01
I have to get to Doug I know you don't
1:02
want to do this make the argument that
1:05
this is a bribe that there is a quid pro
1:08
quo councelor Burns well I'm very
1:10
familiar with your writings on this
1:12
topic and we have discussed before judge
1:15
that there was a Colarado case where a
1:17
judge determined that when prosecutors
1:20
make a deal with a cooperating
1:22
testifying defendant it's a bribe and
1:24
you know the argument obviously um
1:27
putting aside whether I agree with it or
1:29
not is that of course you're offering
1:31
something of value uh to coers a person
1:34
to behave in a certain way so it matches
1:36
up like a bribery thing here what's
1:39
worse though it's really not about the
1:41
bribery and it's not about the without
1:43
prejudice forget that because cases are
1:45
always dismissed without prejudice the
1:46
problem is in the memo of February 10th
1:49
they say we're going to re-evaluate the
1:51
case after the mayoral election that's
1:54
crazy because that makes it as you've
1:56
described it judge and I've been
1:57
watching you obviously a sort of Amic is
2:00
over his head right right hang on guys
2:02
we need to take a quick break don't go
2:04
anywhere we're going to continue this
2:06
conversation on how a bribery case
2:08
appears to be influenced by another
2:10
bribe right here when the freedom file
2:12
returns
