Ex-Gov. Cuomo under federal probe over sexual harassment claims
NY Post ^ | 12/2/2021 | Bernadette Hogan and Bruce Golding

Federal authorities are probing the sexual harassment claims against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo that forced him from office, The Post has learned.

The stunning development is contained in a legal services contract signed in October and released by the state Comptroller’s Office on Thursday in response to a Freedom of Information Law request filed by The Post.

The contract notes previously revealed Department of Justice investigations into the Cuomo administration’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, its cover-up of nursing home deaths and Cuomo’s $5.1 coronavirus memoir.

But it adds, “DOJ has also undertaken an inquiry related to sexual harassment claims made against the then Governor.”

The DOJ didn’t immediately return a request for comment.

But Cuomo’s spokesman said the probe apparently involved potential violations of civil statutes and was launched after state Attorney General Letitia James — who’s now running for governor — issued the bombshell report that led Cuomo to resign under threat of impeachment.

The left wants to make sure he can’t run for president. They have someone else in mind.

The nursing home deaths should be devastating for his career. But in today's wacky world he writes a book detailing his great success.

And why is this man’s alleged grab-assing a federal matter? Do they still have a state government in New York?

Because Obama, who has effectively run the Justice Dept for the last 13 years, want’s his white Italian ass buried... that’s why... and Federalism isn’t Obama’s cup-of-tea.

An excellent point.

This should be purely a state matter.

Fedzilla tramples over nearly everything these days.

This is all about distraction so that he is never charged with his biggest crime of mass murder. I believe there are a total of 5 democrat governors who need to be protected from those charges.

I wonder if their other Covid Celebrity, none other than the Fauci, is taking notes.

After you serve your purpose for the left you are discarded like last week’s leftovers. If they just put you out to pasture that would be one thing but now the DOJ acts as a garbage disposal.

Interesting isn’t it?

That’s exactly what is going on. When Hollywood started propping him up the hammer came down. Remember they gave him an Emmy and all these Hollywood bozos started fawning over him like he was a sex symbol and that was that. I’m figuring Hillary was behind it. She probably shrieked “I WANT HIS HEAD ON A PLATE! RAAAAH!” She wanted him out of the way because she knows Biden and Kamala are finished which makes room for her to run again. I pray Trump runs as well so he can kick her cankle supported fat ass again.

It used to be somebody resigned (Eliot Spitzer, Al Franken) and the tacit quid pro quo was to drop the case.

But apparently this does not satisfy the socialists now running the country who want their pound of flesh to ensure these guys are finished. It’s not a smart strategy, because it will backfire when similar charges are filed against the new crew. What goes around comes around.

This gives the FBI control over documents? How convenient.
