Recently I posted an article<\/a> about the decision by the Department of Justice not to investigate the actions of some governors who sent coronavirus patients into nursing homes. The specific states whose governors did that were New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. A number of New York residents were disappointed to hear that Governor Cuomo seemingly will not be investigated for his role in sending coronavirus patients into nursing homes in New York State. However, the Governor’s legal problems are not over.<\/p>\n

Hot Air <\/a>reported the following yesterday:<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no federal investigation<\/a> into New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, however, Attorney General Tish James isn\u2019t quite done, yet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

James could release details of her investigation into whether Cuomo sexually harassed nine women before the end of the summer, something the governor\u2019s office seems to believe is becoming more political by the day. Cuomo senior adviser Richard Azzopardi told<\/a> The New York Times<\/em> last week, \u201cthe continued leaks are more evidence of the transparent political motivation of the attorney general\u2019s review.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

A rather curious statement since Cuomo asked James<\/em><\/a> to look into the allegations while promising cooperation from all New York State employees. (One would guess this includes the governor.) There\u2019s also no evidence of any leaks despite Azzopardi\u2019s protestations on Twitter and in the press, including calling<\/a> a union president an extortionist who supports James in the governor\u2019s mansion. Cuomo critics like James, but it seems more along the lines of enjoying thorn-like poking in Cuomo\u2019s side versus lobbying for her to challenge him in 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What\u2019s interesting is Republicans<\/em> are the ones saying James has a better shot at Democrats staying in the governor\u2019s mansion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the media reports that a Democrat is being investigated for sexual harassment, it is political–if the media is reporting it, there is an ulterior motive–Democrats don’t usually warrant media reports when they are charged with sexual harassment.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Not everyone believes James\u2019 report signals doom on Cuomo\u2019s political future. State Assembly Speaker Carl E. Heastie cast doubt<\/a> on whether the governor could be impeached for sexual harassment because he wanted the Judiciary Committee to review it as part of its own probe into Cuomo. That comment caused one of the attorneys representing a Cuomo accuser to suggest<\/a> Heastie betrayed his duties by showing loyalty to the governor instead of the rule of law.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The amusing parts? James\u2019 reputation had been one of a Cuomo loyalist, instead of someone seeking higher office. A source told<\/a> Yahoo News back in March that the pair had a good working relationship but James would buck things when it was the right thing to do. Perhaps she\u2019s seeing how the political winds are moving and believes she\u2019s the better candidate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Except no one knows if James will run for governor. The rumors are all coming from Cuomo\u2019s camp, not anyone connected with the AG. Meaning Cuomo\u2019s worried. It\u2019s possible the DoJ\u2019s decision to pass on investigating the nursing home deaths won\u2019t matter. Still seems odd since one would think avoidable elderly deaths matter more than in the grand scheme of things than sexual harassment. This isn\u2019t taking away from the sex misconduct allegations against Cuomo but just pointing out the strangeness of what gets the public up in arms.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And I thought Texas politics was a bloodsport.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Has it occurred to anyone that maybe Governor Cuomo needs to be investigated for sexual harassment simply because so many accusations have been made?<\/p>\n
