Dear Andrew Cuomo: Go away. Just go away.

You may be nominally a Democrat, but your underlying nature is that of a perv and predator.  And your ego is almost as big as Cheeto's.

Andrew Cuomo files a complaint against Letitia James for her sexual harassment report

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is asking the state's Supreme Court to investigate New York Attorney General Letitia James for publishing a report claiming he sexually assaulted multiple women during his tenure.

Cuomo claims James manipulated the investigation in order to pursue her own run for governor, failed to appoint independent legal travails.investigators to the case and omitted crucial evidence from her report released last August.

*You* complaining about someone else's behavior?  Really?


Maybe you hoped that it would distract from your ongoing legal travails.

Accuser sues former New York Gov. Cuomo for sexual harassment and discrimination

One of the first women to accuse former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment filed a federal lawsuit against him this week.

Charlotte Bennett, a one-time staffer for Cuomo, is suing him for sexual harassment and discrimination.
Bennett has previously spoken publicly about her time working for the former governor as a briefer between 2019 and 2020. In her suit filed Wednesday, Bennett claims that Cuomo made sexual comments about her appearance, gave her "humiliating and demeaning tasks" and asked her invasive and unwanted questions about her romantic and sexual relationships, as well as her history as a sexual assault survivor.

This may be the most craven example of your bad behavior, but at least you are consistent in your cravenness.

The Moreland Commission: What Happened?

New York, December 5, 2014—Advocates of government ethics reform cheered in 2013 when New York Governor Andrew Cuomo created the Commission to Investigate Public Corruption, popularly known as the Moreland Commission. Less than a year later, however, Cuomo abruptly shut down the commission, setting off an ongoing controversy.

Columbia Law School professors Richard Briffault and Tim Wu joined Moreland Commission special counsel Janos Marton Nov. 17 for a postmortem examining what happened and how best to clean up government in the future. Briffault served as a member of the commission, named for a 1907 law granting governors authority to investigate state bodies, while Wu made ethics reform a centerpiece of his recent campaign to become New York’s lieutenant governor.

The commission issued around 300 subpoenas, which ran into stonewalling from legislators who many speculated were planning to wait out the commission’s projected 18 to 24 month life span. The New York Times later reported that Cuomo’s office had interfered with the commission’s work, prompting a federal investigation from U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara ’93.


Mr. Cuomo, unless you are volunteering to become Cheeto's cellmate, no one wants to hear from you (and since I don't believe that a prison cell has built that can take that much ego, that's probably not going to happen),
