Another progressive power play
I have no use for Governor Cuomo of New York, but he is absolutely right about one thing - the "findings" released by the NY AG are political rather than real charges. How can that be you ask? There are no Republicans involved in this?
That is true, but one must understand New York politics. In New York there are only two meaningful political groups - hard core left democrats and moderate democrats. Please remember that State Attorney General Letitia James, after 11 months of investigating, has decided not the bring charges against Cuomo regarding "sexual harrassment." Instead she has released "findings" as bait for the NY State legislature to impeach Cuomo. Cumo is not going to resign because he has many allies in the State House and he has also appointed many judges in his time as governor.
Isn't it typical of progressives that the serious thing to them seems to be the sexual harrassment charges rather than the more important allegations that Cuuomo caused the death of so many in nursing homes early in the pandemic.
Late in the day yesterday Joe Biden who once said that if the allegations were ever proven Cuomo should step down, was asked about it. Biden seemed to act like the allegations had been proven and said "I think he should resign," though it clearly wasn't really the same as his position back in March when he said the democratic governor should resign if the AG investigation confirmed sexual harrassment claims made by multiple women. I don't think anything has been proven in Court, has it?
So that was the opnion of the top democrat?
This is probably what it looks like. They have somebody in mind to replace Cuomo.
I can only hope that once Cuomo realizes he's going down that he would be big enough to announce that he hasn't been accussed of anything different than what Joe Biden was accused of.

So who are they pulling the strings for?
de Blasio?
or
Letitia James?
DeBlasio is out as mayor so he would be my guess as the one with the Governor ambitions.
He was asked if he was interested. He indicated that it wasn't off the table.
Maybe Cuomo will become a Republican. ........ Nah.
Multiple cases of sexual harassment? Looks great on his cover letter to the RNC.
The republicans? HAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a badge of honor with them.
I don't have "a guy" and if I did, he wouldn't be over there with you.
If he was, it would certainly give new meaning to the term RINO...
Yeah Cuomo stole Biden's pervert defense..."I sniff every ones hair!" lol
Good catch!!!!!!
"I put my hand up everyone's blouse! What's the problem?"
Wasn't that something? He does not discriminate. He fondles & kisses the young and old, straight and gay, the powerful and the common.
Don't forget, that wasn't off the top of his head. They got word from somebody that the devious NY AG was about to release her "findings."
Somebody wrote that nonsense and he recited it!
Due process doesnt really apply to public opinion, and pressure to resign is based on public opinion.
You don't do 11 month investigations to influence public opinion (or to prosecute designated enemies.)
Andrew Cuomo is innocent, his brother says so.
Then there is the very real crime of the nursing home deaths. I don't think that one is going away. If he stays put, a lot of moderate Dems might decide to vote for someone honest and toward the middle.
Merrick Garland declined to investigate it. That is where the country is now.
Looks like Andy Cuomo, 2020 Covid idol, NY's celebrated "Luv Guv", author, and Emmy winner, has been hiding for the past couple of days. Maybe he's getting legal counsel from his "baby brother".
