Shocked he actually did it. So many have gotten away with it. I heard last nite that the Impeachment Process in NY has a detail many did not know about. Once Impeached, IOW charges brought, the NY Governor kind of becomes a lame duck. He loses almost all powers once Impeached and it was floated that he would resign at the end of his term and not seek another term as governor. All that went away this AM I guess. 

Glad the women can now rest easy.

Wish those that lost loved ones could do the same.

Criminal and Civil Cases are still looming.

Should’ve taken that $50 bet. 

I would have paid because i seriously did not think his political buds would desert him. When De Rosa left, it was over. 

And apparently Andrew Cuomo has made no end of enemies while gov of NY.

Pride goes before a fall. What an arrogant jerk.

Finding a prosecutable charge will be nearly impossible.  The woman that claims that he placed his arm under her blouse has the strongest or, I should say only, possible criminal charge.  However, even in that circumstance, nobody else witnessed the act and she doesn't remember when it took place.  The other claims, like "he ran his finger down the back of my neck on the elevator" just don't amount to sexual assault.  Creepy yes, but not assault.  Sexual harassment encompasses words, environments, and acts.  Sexual assault requires specific acts

That said, he did the right thing by resigning today.

I agree in that I'm shocked he actually resigned.  Its definitely the right thing to do.  Just didn't seem to be in Cuomo's nature.

Its the Straw Man grab, its the GO TO for so many here on the board.

I noticed that the Racist Black Face Wearing Democrat Governor of Virginia is still in power. Maybe some should learn to just stick to the topic.

Kathy Hochul has exposed another 12000 deaths have yet to be counted in NY State Death Totals....

New York governor reveals 12,000 more COVID-19 deaths than previously counted

NEW YORK, Aug 25 (Reuters) - New York Governor Kathy Hochul revealed 12,000 more people died of COVID-19 than was reported under her disgraced predecessor, making good on her promise for greater transparency on just her second day leading the state.

The state is now reporting a total of 55,400 people died in New York from coronavirus, based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Hochul said in a statement.

That's an increase of 12,000 over the 43,400 reported by Andrew Cuomo as of his last day in office before resigning in disgrace amid a sexual harassment scandal.

"We're using CDC numbers, which will be consistent. And so there's no opportunity for us to mask those numbers," Hochul told National Public Radio on Wednesday.

 

Even with the additional 12,000 deaths, it does not change how New York state ranks nationally. New York still has the third highest total number of COVID deaths in the country, behind California and Texas. And New York still ranks second for deaths per capita, behind New Jersey, according to a Reuters tally.

Hochul is a Democrat who assumed the top job on Tuesday after serving as Cuomo's lieutenant governor.

The number reported by Cuomo was incomplete because it focused only on confirmed COVID-19 deaths and it excluded those who died at their own homes and other places.

The revised count is based on death certificate data submitted to the CDC, which includes any confirmed or suspected COVID-19 deaths in any location in New York, Hochul said in the statement.

"These are presumed and confirmed deaths. People should know both," Hochul told NPR.

The revelation came on Hochul's second day on the job as governor, the first woman to hold New York's top office. After being sworn in on Tuesday, Hochul made a point of promising the public greater transparency to ensure that New Yorkers "believe in their government again." read more

Immediately shining a spotlight on the numbers the Cuomo administration chose to report, Hochul became only the latest official to raise questions about whether he was massaging data to improve his image during the pandemic that once gripped New York as the U.S. epicenter.

According to a New York attorney general's report released in January, Cuomo was criticized for undercounting coronavirus deaths in nursing homes by as much as 50%. read more

In February, Cuomo acknowledged that his office should not have withheld data on COVID-19 nursing home deaths from state lawmakers, the public and press but fell short of apologizing.
