New York Assembly Republicans will introduce a measure to form an Impeachment Commission designed to gather "facts and evidence" regarding Governor Andrew Cuomo's handling of nursing home deaths during the pandemic.
Nursing home deaths have plagued Cuomo's response to the pandemic and he's facing heavy criticism for withholding information from legislators. Some have called for his resignation and others pushed for voters to recall him, but save a successful challenger in the 2022 election, the only method of removing Cuomo from office is through impeachment.
On Thursday, Assembly Republicans announced a resolution to create an impeachment commission consisting of eight bipartisan members of the Legislature. The panel would have 60 days to conduct its work and submit its findings and recommendations to the state legislature.
"The Cuomo Administration's nursing home cover-up is one of the most alarming scandals we've seen in state government," Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay said in a statement. "It is incumbent upon the Legislature to undertake a comprehensive, bipartisan review of the Cuomo Administration's policies, decisions and actions on this matter and render a decision on what steps must be taken to hold the governor accountable."

Bet this is wishful thinking.
This impeachment attempt will go nowhere in NY States for the following reasons:
1) Democrats control the assembly 105-43 with one Independent.
2) The Speaker of the House in NY is a Democrat.

“What difference at this point does it make?”
FBI will find no wrong doings and this effort dies in its tracks.
more horn blowing.
Whatever it is, cuomo may be squirming.
wonder if fredo will report the details.
Yes, I agree. Nice thought, but it’s going nowhere.
Cuomo knew exactly what he was doing. He doesn’t need to be impeached so much as he needs to be hanged.
Do it anyway! Sign the petition, even if you don’t think it will go anywhere. If you need some NY zips because you suddenly can’t recall yours? 13905,13760,10514,10911,11105

He will not be held for murder bottom line, they passed that law protecting each other on decisions they make
The actual number of COVID deaths has long been questioned. Did they overstate the number of deaths by fudging the death certificates? It may now come back to bite Cuomo in the butt.
I suspect that this is a set up to exonerate him so he can be handed the VP slot for harris with a *clean* record.
That way, it won’t be hanging over his head in the hands of the federal government, which has far less dem control than NYS does.
Bite Your Tongue!!!
Believe me, I don’t want it!
We left NY for a reason.
But I considered all the possible reason for why the dems appear to be turning on cuomo, and this is the only one that makes sense.
Aif he went into the VP slot with this on his record, then there would be something to use against him at the federal level and he would stand far less of a chance of being exonerated.
This way, he can be pardoned or whatever and not tried again for the same crime.
They got rid of Sheldon Silver, so there’s always hope.
Okay. I’d love to see something come of it.
we are sooo screwed
