74. Interesting take. You seem to not be a fan of having a full investigation, as you've already made

up your mind, so why even bother to have one.

Are you also claiming the nursing home issue is baseless? No investigation needed there?

Calling for no investigations being needed (as you already somehow know all the answers) seems to be utterly at odds with what almost all of the pro Cuomo camp members are calling for.

Interesting take indeed.
