Assembly gives Cuomo 8 days to share additional evidence“We write to inform you that the Committee’s investigation is nearing completion and the Assembly will soon consider potential articles of impeachment against your client,” the committee’s attorneys wrote to Cuomo’s counsel. Let's always start with innocent until proven Guilty; Frankel, for example, should not have resigned; Unfair big money politics hurts the good politician. (Mostly Dems). Why do dark side repubs in office get away with so much evil? If you have to go through these steps then please rescind his state pension. Andrew, it’s time to go quietly into that good night. Buhbye

Cuomo’s Defense Is the Oldest Trick in the BookAndrew Cuomo’s braggadocios defense is not taking a page out of the GOP playbook — he’s taking one out of the justice system’s. He knows it will work because it has before. DCampoamor writes DCampoamor Yes! It has worked before. And before that. And before THAT and on back through recorded time. WOMEN ARE RARELY BELIEVED in the American Justice System! DCampoamor It’s hard to remove a crime boss. ejeancarroll DCampoamor We ejected Al Franken…Cuomo will go. Republicans are outraged yet many allegations of Rape on Gaetz and Trump and Republicans reaction…crickets! Why the double standard? What’s good for one is good for all. Tired of the moral majority (cough cough) Republicans double standards!

'Trauma as his shield': Cuomo's apology, defense criticizedNEW YORK (AP) — He said his actions had been misconstrued, his words misunderstood. He said it was cultural: He hugs, he kisses, he says “Ciao, bella.” He said it was generational: Sometimes he lapses into “honey” or “sweetheart” or tells bad jokes. I really hate to see stupidity achieving the opposite of what you said Impartial observers are witnessing an open exercise for absence of respect for the: Rule of Law in🇺🇸US as in the example of gov. Cuomo declared guilty without presumption of innocence. This so enrages me.
