In a recent podcast, New York City Mayor Eric Adams expressed his belief in the existence of what he termed the 'deep state', asserting that a 'permanent government' exists independent of elected officials. He praised FBI director Kash Patel’s insights on this issue and emphasized the dangers of politicizing prosecutorial powers. Adams also discussed his personal experiences with the Southern District of New York, referencing the dismissal of bribery charges against him and the perceived autonomy of powerful U.S. attorney’s offices in the country.
Adams described the 'deep state' as a 'permanent government' that exists beyond elected officials, illustrating how it influences governance irrespective of political changes.
Adams emphasized the importance of not weaponizing prosecutorial powers, linking this to high-profile cases like his own that were influenced by the SDNY.
