Bill O'Reilly had a rather interesting conversation with News Nation's Chris Cuomo regarding the move by the Department of Justice to sue New York Attorney General Letitia James and Gov. Kathy Hochul, alleging failure to properly follow illegal immigration laws. While the news was initially framed as filing "charges," it appears to be the DOJ taking civil action, not criminal action, in regard to the issue.
During the discussion of that news, the conversation turned to New York City Mayor Eric Adams and why he wasn't included in the actions. I don't agree with some of what O'Reilly has to say, but he does drop a rather interesting nugget that I find intriguing.

O'Reilly appeared to frame the moves as an effort by President Donald Trump to "get" James, when it is about making the various blue cities like New York comply with immigration law. It's what he was elected to do; it's not "retribution."
HOLY SMOKES: Bill O’Reilly says NY Mayor Eric Adams “knows where the bodies are buried” with Letitia James and Alvin Bragg.

What this means is Adams has damaging information that could help Trump take them down for weaponizing the justice system against him.

He also notes that Trump doesn't include Eric Adams because he doesn't matter, according to O'Reilly. I'm not sure I agree with that — maybe he doesn't include Adams because Adams has been cooperative in trying to deal with the problem of illegal immigration of late, even agreeing to reopen the ICE office on Rikers Island.
But the thing he said that I found interesting was when he said he'd gotten "call after call after call" from people — "all of these people who have agendas" — and they're saying that Adams "knows where the bodies are buried" when it comes to Letitia James and Alvin Bragg. You can see Chris Cuomo's eyebrows raise at that tantalizing tidbit. O'Reilly said he wasn't saying it was true, but passing along what he was being told. "But It kind of makes sense," he said. One has to wonder what that information might entail. It sounds like juicy "grab the popcorn stuff." Yes, please, Adams, spill whatever you might have; I'm sure it would be illuminating.
O'Reilly then went on to predict that California Gov. Gavin Newsom would be "next" on the list of officials being sued. “The big power is Newsom in California. Newsom’s next. Hey, Gavin, they’re coming for you!” O’Reilly said. That appears a completely logical conclusion based on the DOJ's actions so far and Newsom's recalcitrance on the issue of illegal immigration in his state. O'Reilly also predicted that in all this, "Pritzker is going to get destroyed" and Trump would "bring down" James and Bragg. Again, disagree with O'Reilly's phrasing that seems to make it about retribution versus justice, but it couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch if it does.
