Criminal defense attorneys on Thursday discussed the expected federal charges against Mayor Eric Adams, noting that despite the high-profile nature, the case is following routine.

Both former New York prosecutors Jeremy Saland and Duncan Levin said the process would be respectful, and residents would not likely see a dramatic scene outside Gracie Mansion.

“Whether he [surrenders] today or any other day, he’s going there. They’re not coming to him,” Saland said during an interview on “Mornings On 1.” “They're not going to bring him in, like, kicking a door or anything like that. They're going to be respectful, and it's going to be done properly.”

Even as FBI agents searched the mayor’s residence early Thursday morning, Levin described the scene as a “highly choreographed dance.”

“This is, in a way, a very normal case, but you're dealing with a defendant who's anything but normal, and he has to run the city while he has these charges now pending against him, and so there's going to be coordination, as there always is, between the NYPD, his security detail, the FBI, and they're negotiating the terms of his surrender,” said Levin, who appeared on “Mornings On 1” alongside Saland.

In a video statement released Wednesday night, Adams vowed to combat the charges, saying, “I will fight these injustices with every ounce of my strength and my spirit.”

Adams also implied the Justice Department was being weaponized against him, a notion sharply criticized by Saland, who likened it to statements made by former President Donald Trump during his trials in Manhattan earlier this year.

“You have to believe and allow the criminal justice system to do its job,” he said. “To come out and say, ‘They're targeting me because they don't like me, and that's really what we're doing’—that's so wholly inappropriate. It just diminishes what it is for criminal justice and the law.”
