    thrown away on a whim?!

    It wasn’t thrown away on a whim, it was dismissed without prejudice. It was transformed into a gun held to the corrupt mayor’s head so that the Trump administration can extract as much value as possible from him while he still has some power.

    In my opinion, it’s even more fucked up. Double corruption - corruption charges put on hold so that so the defendant can be extorted.
