Cuomo must pay for crimes

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

I sat with anger, confusion and questions mounting as the New York attorney general reported on the results of the investigation into Gov. Cuomo — allegations of sexual abuse of women, many on Cuomo’s own staff (“N.Y. Gov. Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women, investigation finds,” Web, Aug. 3). I was angry that so many had to be the targets of Cuomo’s immoral and illegal behavor. I was confused about why he is not being arrested or having charges filed against him for clear violation of federal and state laws. Reporters at the press conference must have shared my questions, for they continually asked the attorney general how such charges were not in evidence.

I was also filled with many questions. How was it that this behavior went on for so long? Where were the media in talking to the many people who knew about the govenor’s behavior? From the report, these behaviors were well-known. Was it because he is a Democrat and they gave him the treatment they gave Mr. Clinton in Clinton’s improper behavior with an intern? Were they too busy making him out be a saint and the man of the year? Or was it because they were busy printing and reporting lies about President Trump?

Finally, what has been the role of the Democratic Party leadership in this coverup? The investigations need to continue.
