I wonder who else they found dirt on...

You know damn well with all the other reports of all the plants associated with the Moreland commission that The Princess knew exactly what was going on.

You know it's bad when Jon Stewart starts making fun of him.

Blood in the water.

Cuomo might escape prosecution, but this is an election year and right now it isn't looking good for him. Wonder who he pissed off? Hillary eliminating her competition?

Elections are still 3+ months out. With the 24-hour news cycle, this latest bit will be dead and gone by then, and anyone who drags it out will be "living in the past".

Unless this thing takes off it will be forgotten. Lets hope it takes off. I'm gonna step up my donations to Astorino. I think the worst thing that can  happen ,as far as the campaign is concerned, is come Oct, Nov Cuomo gets  vindicated

ETA tried to fix my FUBAR post. I wasn't   while posting either

As I mentioned in other threads, I see this going absolutely nowhere.  My reasoning?  Just look at Charlie Rangel and the three Democat state senators who were all under investigation for crimes or convicted/censured and they STILL GOT RE-ELECTED!  Too me, that is proof of the mentality of the electorate as a whole.  They will re-elect the crooks time and again.  I would have through Rangel was finished two years ago yet he was re-elected and, though he did manage to just squeak by in the latest primary, he will win by a landslide in November because no one is going to vote for his Republican opponent.  The Democrat's could run Charles Manson for the slot and he would win by a landslide over whomever the Republican's put up as long as Manson keeps the money flowing to the district.



The ones who care most about this Moreland Commission scandal are Cuomo's detractors, not his supporters.  And his detractors are, I am sad to say, far outnumbered by the supporters downstate where the votes are. Now there are plenty here who will pile up on me telling me I am clueless and I am out of touch.  Well let me just say that my powers of observation have only gotten sharper over the years since 2000.  This is a story I have related in the past.  I work in a building where Rick Lazio used to have his district office.   In 2000 he was running against Hillary Clinton for the U.S. Senate seat.  It became evident to me early on that she was going win.  What clued me in?  First, there were all the Hillary posters and bumper stickers I would see around Long Island and nary a Lazio sign or sticker. But what really convinced me was the Hillary bumper sticker stuck on the back door of Lazio's district office.  It was there for several days before someone finally removed it.  I knew then and there that nobody supporting Lazio cared enough, or if there were even that many supporters, to remove it in a timely manner. I observe the same things now in support of Cuomo.  Cuomo controls the narrative around here and I have yet to see anything in support of Astorino.  Granted the campaigning does not really get into full swing until after Labor Day but harking back to 2000, there was already a lot of Hillary support before Labor Day and I am not seeing it for Astorino.  Short of Cuomo being lead away in handcuffs by the FBI or U.S. Marshal's, nothing is going to derail him from being re-elected at this point.  And I don't think the U.S. District Attorney will be able to build a case before November, if at all.



Just my two cents and my reasoning behind it.

Aardvark, not disagreeing with you, but Lazio was a piece of shit who was set up from the get-go as someone who would simply run to be beaten by hitlery.

Astorino is a good candidate.  Yes, it's a long shot as far as the electorate is concerned, however I don't know how much his base can even be bothered to vote this time (no cocoa messiah running this time around) and those who are against him really do seem motivated.

"Stop Common Core" really needs to be the rallying cry.  The safe act only affects us, but common core hits every home with a kid in school.

I am doing what I can to support Rob.  Maybe we will get a miracle.  If not, I already own some property in a free state and I have a RE Broker who has instructions that my house WILL go on the market on Nov. 5 if Cumhole is re-elected.

I strongly agree with you there. This will be more important to "independent" (read: low information) voters than unSAFE.

Exactly. Those are local district issues that have always existed and will probably never change, and are not representative statewide.


Keep in mind that it is his own people who are now blowing the whistle on the Moreland scandal. That information did not come from Cuomo's detractors.

Some key information here.
