Hochul pushing staff changes at 'Titanic' City Hall as she avoids ousting Adams before Nov. 5 election: Wright resigns, Bahi charged
[NYPOST] Gov. Kathy Hochul is intent on filling top posts in Eric Adams
...Hizonner da Mare of Noo Yawk. As a Manchurian candidate, Hizonner was all in favor of law and order and that kind of stuff. Once in office, a bunch of his friends found cushy jobs with the city, the windows kept getting broken, and Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg remained right where he was. Most people comfort themselves with the thought that he's not Bill di Blasio but that's pretty small comfort with kids who actually go to school getting bumped off while standing in front of them. But he's a Dem, so the rubes will vote for him next election too, so he's what they deserve...
' administration as City Hall turns into the ''Titanic'' — but insiders say she won't push out the mayor before the election for fear of backlash.

Exercising the governor's authority to oust the embattled Adams would carry outsize political risks for Hochul, including alienating black leaders who've rallied behind Hizzoner and the unsavory potential of her former boss, Andrew Sonny Cuomo, jumping into the mayoral race, sources said.

Hochul is likely also smarting from Rep. Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
bluntly blaming her for 2022 losses in New York congressional races that cost Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
their House majority, said political strategist Hank Sheinkopf.

''The trick here is to not remove [Adams] before next June, if possible, so you don't provide the opportunity for someone like Andrew Cuomo to come into power,'' he said. ''She is worried about suburban black votes.

NYC Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright resigns
[NYPOST] First Deputy Mayor of New York City Sheena Wright officially resigned Tuesday — the latest high-profile departure in an administration that's been rattled by a sweeping federal corruption case.

News of Wright's imminent resignation broke last Friday, with one source saying ''she's leaving because she's being shown the door.''

She will be replaced by Maria Torres-Springer, the city's deputy mayor for housing.

Mohamed Bahi charged with witness tampering and destruction of evidence in Mayor Adams case
[NYPOST] A former top official in the Adams administration official was charged with witness tampering and destruction of evidence by the feds on Tuesday — one day after he left City Hall.

Mohammed Bahi told witnesses in the historic corruption case against Mayor Eric Adams to lie to federal agents, a complaint unsealed Tuesday contends.

Bahi also deleted a messaging app off his phone before the feds served a search warrant at his home in July, the court papers state.

The complaint comes a day after city officials said Bahi, who served as the mayor's liaison to the Moslem community, had resigned.

Bahi didn't answer several calls from The Post.
