    Why wasn't il duce Cuomo frog marched ?
    NY State AG Letitia James had a damning report that Cuomo violated both state and Federal criminal laws sexually harassing 11 different women , and using intimidation on them.

    New York AG: Investigation Found Gov. Cuomo 'Sexually Harassed Multiple Women' - YouTube

    Senators Shmuck Shumer and Kirsten Gillibrand said in a statement. "Today's report from the New York State Attorney General substantiated and corroborated the allegations of the brave women who came forward to share their stories -- and we commend the women for doing so."......."No elected official is above the law. The people of New York deserve better leadership in the governor's office. We continue to believe that the Governor should resign."

    Resign ? Why didn't James as AG of the state have the power to indict the pervert ? Would she have had the power to indict if his name was Trump ?

    The good news is that he has managed to make Trump look quite normal.

    This is what I find amazing. When it was Kavanaugh being accused of sexual assault, the liberal dems on this site could not wait to bash him on a daily basis. That despite the fact that the evidence against him was about as far removed from being indisputable as it could have gotten. With Cuomo, the evidence is much, much stronger, and yet they are strangely silent. It is as I often say. Stinkin politics.

    James has political ambitions to move up the ladder to Guv ;as NY AG's are ought to do . Still it was clear before this report that il duce Cuomo was an oafish brute obsessed with his power . It comes as no surprise that he still thinks he can get away with it .

    this is another case of a smear campaign. Whatever the truth this man is being lynched without trial

    It's critical to note that Gov Cuomo has been condemnend by just about every Democrat in existence. The opposite has been true of Trump who has been lauded by just about every Republican in existence even though Trump's sexual assault crimes were far worse than Cuomo's.

    Criminally insane Trump still thinks the election was rigged. He said it again just the other day.

    he is not criminally insane just eccentric, At his advanced age, not everything is clear. He is fixated on one event in his life

    more deflections ,This is about Cuomo not Trump . In this case the only reason there is no indictment is because James was for some reason is restricted from doing so. Trump has been investigated for years by multiple prosecutors and still we have seen no charges against him .

    Clete how long would a pol in Aussie last in office when the chief law enforcement officer of the province's report said in no uncertain terms that the pol violated province and national law? Would Australia wait to remove the pol until after a trial ? More important ;would the pol so arrogantly hold onto power when it is clear that he was caught being an abusive pervert ?

    He hasn't been condemned by the liberal dems on this board. Athos certainly hasn't. His general response is to use the opportunity to condemn...you guessed it, Donald Trump.

    But if what Athos says is really true, then within months Cuomo will be removed by the NY legislature. I wouldn't suggest anyone hold their breath waiting for that to happen. Talk is cheap.

    The one thing that is still a mystery to me concerns why, if 11 women say Cuomo sexually assaulted them, charges have not been filed and the man arrested? Same thing with Trump. If a woman is convinced a man raped or otherwise assaulted her, then why wouldn't she go to the cops and press charges?

    That is solely because the crook Barr protected Trump from any prosecution.

    at the state level ? James took out his CFO .You know she would throw the book at Trump if she could . So would Vance Jr
    Federal AND State prosecutors investigated all the allegations of harassment . The most they have come up with so far is that he may have used inappropriate funds to make a non-disclosure agreement with a porn actress

    Still the case. I guess by saying, "just about every democrat in existence", that provided an out for the liberal dems on this board.

    There are plenty investigations going on, including Trump's tax return farce. Stand by.

    He used campaign funds to pay off his hooker. The guy's a sleeze. Why do you defend him? He tried to overthrow the government and you still support him. What does it take?

    Probably true, kind of like the Clintons, Obama, Biden, et al.

    Why don't you jump on the "Cuomo has committed crimes" train?

    Something true would be helpful. This silly theory is not.

    let's make this simple, all politicians are sleezebags, all politicians are on the take, so now can we discuss something relevant to anything

    Trump remains relevant as long as the mass of Republicans - elected and otherwise - continue to support this sleezeball. To support an animal who incited an insurrection against the duly-elected government of the US has no precedent.

    Added to his many other high crimes and misdemeanors, Trump must be continually exposed for the conman fraud he is. The latest is the revelation how he tried to force acting AG Rosen to throw the election, "Just say that the election was corrupt, and leave the rest to me".

    Without the white evangelicals Trump would have been a footnote, if even that, in American history.

    Don't bring religion into it, Trump had wide appeal because the alternative was more of the same

    I wish I didn't have to but the fact remains that the white evangelicals are by far the largest group who support(ed) him even in light of his immorality/amorality. Whether at the Jan 6 insurrection or the votes cast in the 2020 election, they lead the pack of the Trump cult.
