Just in case you were wondering what the end game was for the New York DA who refused to pursue charges against former Governor Andrew Cuomo, here it is—Cuomo is coming back.
“Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his aides are intensifying an effort to revive his public standing, including discussing how to make his first public appearance since resigning in August, according to people close to him.
Mr. Cuomo and his remaining aides have been calling former allies and political operatives to complain about New York Attorney General Letitia James, who oversaw an investigation that concluded Mr. Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women, including current and former state employees. The former Democratic governor has denied touching anybody inappropriately and said the investigation was politically motivated.
The former governor’s lawyer, Rita Glavin, has held press briefings to release information about his accusers that she says undermines their credibility. Mr. Cuomo has been attempting to determine the right forum for a speech or appearance that would mark his return to public life, according to the people close to him.
“If you were in his position, you wouldn’t let it go either. The truth is important to him,” Ms. Glavin said. She has asked Ms. James’s office to amend the report to include information she said is favorable to the governor’s defense. Ms. Glavin said Mr. Cuomo was considering his available legal options.”
That’s right. Despite the nursing home deaths under his order, and the multiple sexual harassments allegations that the DA verified were legit—Cuomo is trying to make a comeback.
To me, all this proves is that Democrats never face the consequences of their actions. I don’t know what, if anything, Cuomo has over that DA but this should not go down quietly. Share if you agree.
