New York Governor Chris Cuomo was given $25,000 from Boies, Schiller & Flexner, the law firm representing Harvey Weinstein. Six days later, Goversnor Cuomo told the New York Attorney General to suspend the investigation into Harvey Weinstein. He said the suspension was to prevent a conflict with another investigation of Harvey Weinstein by the Manhattan District Attorney's office and had nothing to do with the donation.

A couple of questions come to mind:

  1. If it wasn't bribery, why didn't he just return the money so it wouldn't look like a conflict of interest?

  2. Why is it bad for there to be two ongoing investigations at the same time by different levels of government for different crimes?

My two questions are more curious than cynical. Regardless, this article relates to pizzagate as it shows that pedophiles can influence politicians indirectly and stall investigations.

Weinstein is a Scientologist. So he basically can't be in trouble.

It was said that Mario Cuomo, father of Chris and Andrew, couldn't run for president because of his wife's ties with the mafia.

New York Governor Chris Cuomo

@IShallNotFear: Please replace 'Chris' with 'Andrew'. Chris Cuomo is the governor's brother... ;-)

Thank you.

Political dynasties are confusing and dangerous to democracy. Chris Cuomo isn't governor of New York, he's the younger brother, wonk at CNN2 at the moment. Andrew Cuomo is governor of New York, and seller of political favors. Both of them went to Fordham University to learn the law from Jesuit Catholic priests after attending ivy league schools for undergrad degrees. Andrew was Secretary of HUD under Clinton, and in 2010 he ran and became governor of New York, like his father Mario Cuomo before him. Interestingly Chris was on the ground in Haiti in 2010 reporting on the earthquake for 20/20.

@Vindicator @think- @srayzie I think user ThiefofKnife is spaming the forum. Look how he is replying to every comment with the same info. No need to post the same comment 3 times in one thread.

Removed duplicate comments (had to leave one copy). Banning @ThiefofKnife for spam.

I wonder if a spam-bot is at work ... lots of many threads in 24 hours ...

Vindicator ago

Nope. And that is one of the tiny handful of reasons I can delete Comments per Voatwide rules.

@Crensch see parent and please hook me up with that username flare. I can't seem to find where to do that.

Also FYI...had to remove a bunch of Sarah comments in this thread. Spamming. Left the oldest ones, username @ThiefofKnife.

Users need to have CSS on to see it, but currently have some mod flairs up, and one for ToK as well.

If only you were an MSM reporter.

Nah...we don't WANT them to get any of the the real news to report and save their careers. Let them go down in history as whistling while Rome burned.
