I find it interesting that the FP editorial provides links to news reports of clearly biased organizations (CNN and NYT). Why not also reference the actual letters written by Bove and Sassoon? They are available online. I have read them both.
As the comment by WigWag correctly notes "the merits of the Adam’s case can be argued either way"…

As the comment by WigWag correctly notes "the merits of the Adam’s case can be argued either way". But no matter, this is the call of the Attorney General and the attorneys at SDNY are not independent.
It is also interesting that there is no mention of Bove's reasoning related to the dismissal. Those reasons seem more than plausible and indicate the possibility of 'weaponization' of justice from SDNY after Adams started criticizing the biden administration's border failures.
Finally, and most importantly, this editorial makes no mention that the instructions to Sassoon were to dismiss the case WIHOUT PREJUDICE and that the the case would be re-examined after the next mayoral election by a newly appointed US Attorney for SDNY.
When writing an editorial, the FT should do better next time and provide a more complete picture of the facts. Maybe the lessons learned at the NYT are hard to correct.
Actually, "without prejudice" is the tell. If the entire prosecution was politically motivated why not with prejudice? The entire reason for that is to have the sword of Damocles over the mayor's head should he not toe the line. If you do not believe it, just listed to the interview on Fox with him and the border cszar.
