16. If a Repub Gov wins in 2022 he will.

Mar 2021

There are alot of posts such as 'of course Hochul would not pardon Trump..' which is obvious and not what people are worrying about with this issue. Hochul is a solid, reputable mainstream Dem and a fine person.

The issue is the takedown of Cuomo is about taking down the entire NY Dem establishment including Hochul, who their political enemies will use to tie them all together and take them down at once. That's how politics works. The progressive-left want to do this and the Repubs want to as well. The question is who will win the gov's mansion as a resut of the fallout. Progs often overestimate their electabilty in NY (in the state as well as the city, both of which have had popular Repub leaders in the past generation) while R's have shown an ability to slip into power admid chaos.

It is highly improbable that the Lt Gov would give him a pardon dsc Mar 2021 #1
