The impeachment inquiry into Governor Andrew Cuomo will not continue after Cuomo leaves office, New York State Assembly speaker Carl Heastie announced Friday. Heastie cited two reasons: First, the investigation was to determine whether Cuomo would remain in office. With Cuomo's pending resignation in less than two weeks, that's no longer an issue. Second, Heastie said New York's constitution may not allow for an impeachment of an official no longer in office.
Cuomo announced his resignation Tuesday, about a week after New York Attorney General Letitia James said that an independent investigation found that the governor had sexually harassed 11 women.
The Assembly was probing more than the sexual harassment allegations. It was also looking into COVID-19 nursing home deaths, whether Cuomo improperly had staff work on a book for which he was paid $5 million, and safety issues at a bridge named for his father, Mario. Cuomo had been given until August 13 to submit evidence.

they forget to add cuomo giving immunity to all his nursing home CEO buddies to get them off the hook for his murderous decisions.
You can bet he put in his notice for getting a pension one day before he announced his resignation. NYS pension system requires a minimum of 15 days notice.
Thays the first thing that came to my mind. With Trump, the fact that he was leaving office in a few days did not stop Democrats and Liz Cheney from making their political statement.
In a few years it will be “Senator Cuomo” and all because Letitia James let him off the hook and the state assembly lacks the fortitude to deal with his lawlessness.
Cuomo is safe and if not he has the 14 days to root out troublemakers trying to achieve “justice.”
Now if his name had been “Trump” the misery would continue and continue.
Those clickbait articles “Cuomo leaves office but his legal woes are not over by a longshot” must have made him laugh.
“Jerry, get somebody to fire this creep who wrote that garbage in Politico.”
“Yes, sir. Right away, sir.”
We will soon have Gov. James
And then "Get that guy in here who specializes in White House office decor. I'm thinking along some lines and want to touch base with him."
TV women's talk show topic: "Are we ready to admit that the old sexual harassment tags pushed onto great leaders like Cuomo just don't have the negative connotation they used to have a long time ago? Are you ready to be mature enough to move on?"
My f-ing god these scum are so EVIL!
Not a damn thing will happen to him. NOTHING.
Prove me wrong.
Making sure he can hold office in the future….
Typical swamp. More of the same old same old.
I agree.
