Huh? This doesn't have anything to do with Cuomo. This is the New York County (Manhattan) DA, who is himself an elected official.


People are so incredibly desperate to attribute things to people who haven't really done anything. I hate Cuomo too, but I'm not going to descend into nonsense peddling in order to fight him. It only serves to undermine any actual effort of resistance to the man.

The New York State political machine is incredibly corrupt and interconnected. And Cuomo himself is more powerful and influential at all levels of state government (which includes country-level positions) than any governor since, well, his father. It's really not unreasonable to suspect he had a hand in this.

What Cuomo wants, Cuomo gets.


Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.


These aren't extraordinary claims by any means. Historically New York politics have been exceptionally corrupt.


Poor Galileo.
