    New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announces resignation

    New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, saying he didn’t want the state government consumed by investigations into his personal behaviour, announced his resignation on Tuesday.

    Why?  Would they find even more cases and even worse things?

    Cuomo said the resignation would be effective in 14 days. He apologized for his behaviour but said the most serious allegations in the report “have no credible, factual basis.”

    “In my mind, I’ve never crossed the line with anyone,” he said. “I didn’t realize the extent to which the line has been redrawn.”

    In a world were “NO” means “NO” and a “Yes” can still mean “NO” (buyers remorse/regret), where anything that makes another “uncomfortable” is grounds for terminations, welcome to the era of #metoo

      As powerful as this guy was politically, I assume they must have had him dead to rights and threatened to ruin him. He must have ticked off all the wrong people in the Democratic power structure for them to come after him like that.

      The dems want any and ALL distractions from their mid-term run out of the way ASAP, so they can attack without having to be put on the defensive for having such a person associated with the demented dems in the first place.

      They will protect their own up to a point, and then make a sacrifice of them to advance their agenda.

        I figure every politician is treated the same. You can run with the pack and roll in privilege and money or do your own thing and, get shut out and attacked forever. Pretty tough to do the right thing unfortunately and actually serve your constituents. But I think you are right Cuomo just became a liability.

        Former NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Honorary Emmy Award Rescinded by International TV Academy

        Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s honorary Emmy Award from last year has been rescinded by the International TV Academy.

        That was an “award” he NEVER should have gotten in the first place.

        So what did they have to say.

        “The International Academy announced today that in light of the New York attorney general’s report, and Andrew Cuomo’s subsequent resignation as governor, it is rescinding his special 2020 International Emmy Award,” the organization said in a statement. “His name and any reference to his receiving the award will be eliminated from International Academy materials going forward.”

        BRAVO!  👏

        Didn’t he leave his dog at the mansion or something?

        I mean at least he didn’t shoot it like an Australian police officer

        Another DA decides not to charge Cuomo in harassment probe

        Oswego County District Attorney Gregory Oakes is the fourth county prosecutor to investigate, but decline to charge, Cuomo based on allegations outlined in a searing August 2021 report by investigators working for New York Attorney General Letitia James.

        Another Dem DA refusing to charge a fellow dem of a crime.

        Why do we keep hearing of such?  It is like they created a two-tier legal system, where only prosecution of one site while the other is protected.

        Oakes said in his statement that the decision should “in no way….be interpreted as casting doubt upon the character or credibility of Ms. Limmiatis, or how harmful the acts she experienced were.”

        That is exactly what it is.  By not criminally charging this perv, you are saying his actions were “legal”.

        He called for legislators in the state to reform sexual harassment laws “to reflect the lived experiences of victims.”

        As if inappropriate touching laws are not enough to charge this demented dem.

        Believe all wah-men, unless they make accusations to a dem.  Prosecute all, unless they are a high profile dem.

        This is such a huge flaw in the US legal system.  Where politics is more important than justice.
