AUG. 29, 2018 (FLASHBACK)
In late June, New York governor Andrew Cuomo quietly ordered the suspension of an ongoing investigation into whether the Manhattan District Attorneys office had mishandled sexual-assault allegations made against Harvey Weinstein in March of 2015. As it turns out, this decision came just a few days after Weinsteins former lawyers firm donated $25,000 to Cuomos reelection campaign, according to an illuminating new report.
According to the report, which was published on Capital & Main, Cuomos campaign received a $25,000 donation from Weinsteins former laywer David Boiess firm on June 20. On June 26, Cuomo ordered the investigation into the DAs handling of the Weinstein case to be halted for six months an investigation, notably, that stemmed from the fact that Boies had donated $10,000 to District Attorney Cy Vance before Vances office dropped the Weinstein case. (Per a letter obtained by Page Six, Cuomos justification for halting the probe was that it could potentially obstruct the criminal case against Weinstein.)
A spokesperson for Boies, Schiller & Flexner also denied any sort of arrangement between the governor and Boies, telling Capital & Main in a statement that, since 2009, the law firm has donated more than $245,000 to Cuomos gubernatorial campaigns.
Neither Mr. Boies, nor anyone from his firm, ever discussed Harvey Weinstein or Mr. Vance with Mr. Cuomo, or anyone from his office, at any time, the spokesperson said. Mr. Boies is a longtime supporter of Mr. Cuomo and his contribution in June was consistent with his contributions to Mr. Cuomo over years past.
Update, August 30: In a statement to the Cut, Cuomos press secretary Dani Lever stressed that no contribution of any size influences any government action.

Boies is mixed up in the Epstein case as well. Deep state mandarin.
$25k is chicken feed to these people. How much was the real payoff?
Friday news dump, and down the hole it goes.
Tucker Carlson mentioned on his show last night that Kirsten’s real name is not Kirsten Gillibrand. Why do RATS never use their real name?
I’ve heard rumors for years that Gillibrand’s mother was the mistress of Erastus Corning, who served 41 years as the mayor of Albany:

Her real name is Tina Kupnick.
Tina Rutnick
Not a rumor, it is how she had the connections to launch her U.S. House career, and the state police report that leaked the call of Rep John Sweeney's drunken wife making false accusation on a 911 call.
