The Albany DA Has Dropped Charges Against Cuomo

[Me.]

says he can't prove it.

[Me.]

1. Also...

Westchester DA declines to bring charges against Cuomo. The Same with the Nassau County DA.

Also, NYC DA has dropped probe in to nursing home scandal.

“I was told that after a thorough investigation — as we have said all along — there was no evidence to suggest that any laws were broken.”

2. and once again an powerful Dem is felled by a fake scandal

Franken and Spitzer come to mind

[AZSkiffyGeek]

3. And once again Dems make excuses for serial predators nt

[Me.]

7. Just To Be Clear ...There Was Never That Charge Against Spitzer Nor Franken

[Demsrule86]

10. It was all bullshit...and I hope those who did this haven't caused us to lose the governorship

of New York.

[Me.]

5. And Yet There Is A Never-Ending Rush To Judgment

[Demsrule86]

8. We eat our own and wonder why we lose elections...this was a coordinated effort to go after

Cuomo. And for those of you who think we can't lose New York, We can and we have. New York-the entire state is not progressive.

12. Shages Of Pataki Loom Large

17. Fake?

Westchester DA declines to prosecute Cuomo despite "credible" allegations of improper conduct

The allegations were credible. It was beyond the time limit. How is that "fake"?

19. Spitzer was caught on tape with prostitutes

Apparently that's fake as well - along with all the money he was paying out.

[Me.]

22. Does That Make Him A 'Serial Predator"

a deal between 2 consenting adults? And why was the woman in question taping him?

[MichMan]

4. Should he sue the accusers for false claims and slander ?

[Me.]

9. Wouldn't Work

unless you could prove it it would still be a he said/she said. It was suggested the women could do civil lawsuits.

As for the nursing home case I don't know it you can call it slander

6. Frankened

11. IMHO, Andrew was always a mixed bag of some good, some bad. His toxic office atmosphere

cost him the job, and that's ok. The women don't have horrible damage, so, not prosecuting isn't all that surprising. Like his life in general, the outcome is a mixed bag of a ruined political career but no incarceration. Sounds about right.

He was dangling the NY state public school's budgets around like a mouse for years, so, the teachers are glad to be rid of him. His tax cap did lots of damage to school programs and kids, and he thought that would make him white house material someday. So, luckily, that's over.

[Me.]

14. He Certainly Was A Mixed Bag

but he should've been voted out, not pushed out especially IF the charges were questionable.

[George II]

13. Isn't that the county where the Sheriff prematurely announced charges against Cuomo?

[Me.]

15. Yes

Took it upon hiself to do so, egg on his face today

[dalton99a]

16. No Democratic elected official should resign unless convicted of a felony.

Use the GOP standard

[Me.]

18. Or, There Is Verifiable Proof

and I'm not talking a comic spoof in a USO show

[BannonsLiver]

20. Hilarious!

[WhiskeyGrinder]

21. The DA described the accuser as "credible" but said proving it would be hard. And people wonder why

victims don't report.

[madville]

23. Cases based solely on She said, He said rarely will result in anything

With no witnesses or evidence any case regarding almost any crime based solely on the testimony of the accuser is destined to fail, especially if a significant amount of time has passed.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

24. It's almost like the justice system isn't really about justice.

[madville]

25. That's how it has to be unfortunately

You typically can't convict someone based solely off an accusation, especially long after the fact when the chances of gathering evidence at the scene have since past. Look at the many black men in history that were wrongfully convicted and imprisoned or even lynched based solely off the false or inaccurate accusations of rape by white woman.

Even in the matter of Brett Kavanaugh and Ford, the only real evidence were the accounts of the 5 people there that day, 1 said something happened and 4 said nothing happened, there's no way to prove it one way or the other.

26. When are Democrats going to learn? At least California still has Gov Newsom...

…but damn that bogus recall was expensive.
