Democrats said the initial investigation announced by the governor's office did not have the appearance of true independence. A spokesperson for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement,"Sen.

Good to see NBCNewYork finally catching up with this story. Your headline doesn't mention that Lord Cuomo was shamed into authorizing the investigation after previously attempting to control it with two other proposals. Some posting on this thread are giving him credit. Ha

Todos son iguales. No hay esperanza para el futuro.

yeah, and I've got a train to sell you for Mark Zuckerburg and the rest of those Tech wizards in Seattle when they can get SanFranNan to get the taxpayers to do it for you?

Lock him up!

Sexual Cuomo Second largest predator in American history after Bill Affair.

He has enough money to hire his own attorney

On our tax dollars?

No. He needs to resign now.

Cuomo is guilty. Lock him up today until trial

Nothing to see here 💤💤💤💤

Trump supporters & Bernie supporters right now after all their rage tweeting: 😶

I am telling you it's a hot job by Trump.

Boycott coca cola

Good.

Is that Dracula

Any links to DJT? 🤔🤔

He should resign. Hiding the deaths of so many in care homes was enough for that. His horrible actions towards his staffers just make it even more clear he needs to go.

Not good enough. We need a fully independent investigation intobthe nursing home scandal as well as the sexual harassment allegations against staffers and the bullying investigation against Ron Kim.

CUOMO SAID KAVANAUGH SHOULD TAKE A LIE DETECTOR TEST...? DOUBLE STANDARDS HUH

This guy epitomizes all the bad stereotypes.

This is what an innocent man does. Not like trumps refusal of dna test that he claims would clear him.

Beat it! What democratic governor would turn over nursing home deaths to trump’s DOJ for crooked investigations. The same trump that pressured Ukraine. Pressured DOJ for Stone and Flynn. Then pardoned Bannon, Roger, Blackwater, Manafort and more. Oh please.

Believe all women

Gov.Cuomo, make em pay.

Was this last year under Corona? How could he even be thinking about such a thing when people dying of Corona and all covering faces and protecting each other under corona - maybe they should start the investigation when exactly was that happening? Is she a Republican

Cuomo the huomo

I hope he gets impeached & convicted. Cuomo is singlehandedly ruining NYC better than Mayor Blablabla could ever.

This is obviously a hit job by the Republicans because he has put fear in them

If politicians want to commit sexual assault and feel safe, they should join the Republican Party.

Independent Investigation is vital for transparency.

This guy is a jerk. He is moving the spotlight from the killing of NY senior of Covid to sexual harassment. Even the liberals of NY are sick of this guy
