Quid Pro No! DOJ Lets Adams Walk + a Con...

MeidasTouch Network
About this episode

In today’s episode of Mea Culpa, I’m joined by former Palm Beach State Attorney Dave Aronberg, a frequent legal analyst on major news networks. He recently launched his own law firm, Dave Aronberg Law, P.A., and is the host of Court Authorities, a MeidasTouch-affiliated YouTube channel. Given Dave’s past experience working alongside Pam Bondi, we dive into the Justice Department’s controversial decision to drop corruption charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. We break down the resignations of key prosecutors, the political implications of DOJ interference, and whether this move sets a dangerous precedent. Plus, we analyze Elon Musk’s growing influence over Trump and the administration’s sweeping federal cuts that could have catastrophic consequences.
