There have been so many raids of city higher-ups in the past few weeks, I think the Feds are trying to add to the charges against Adams and get some major players to flip. JMO.

I don't think the alleged foreign contributions/straw donors were known when he ran. Also, the Turkish consulate did not open until September 2021 -- months after Adams won the Democratic primary for mayor, thereby becoming the de facto next mayor. JMO.

I remember this

FBI agents are executing a search warrant at the Crown Heights, Brooklyn, home of Brianna Suggs, who is a campaign consultant linked to the mayor. This law enforcement action may be the reason the mayor abruptly returned back to the city, although a spokesperson declined to comment.

Assemblymember Eddie Gibbs was arrested and taken into custody by the New York City Police Department on Thursday in his East Harlem district, according to witnesses.

About 11 police cars pulled up while Gibbs was sitting with his brother in a car on Madison Avenue, just outside the James Weldon Johnson Community Center, according to Frederick Thomas, a security guard with the New York City Housing Authority. Cops from the Strategic Response Group patted down Gibbs, put him in handcuffs and drove him away from the scene.

He’s putting up a good show but it’s fake. Everyone falling off the house he built is making the case against him stronger.
