21 April 2021: NY Assembly Impeachment Hotline Gets 200+ Tips

Impeachment investigators have received over 200 tips about Cuomo

The NY Assembly put on a brief show related to its effort to expand the number of allegations it can investigate while Governor Cuomo remains in office, unimpeached:

Investigators seeking to determine whether the New York state Assembly should move to impeach Gov. Andrew Cuomo have received more than 200 tips about his conduct.

The chair of the chamber's Judiciary Committee, Charles Lavine (D-Nassau), disclosed the figure as his committee held its first public meeting focused on impeachment in nearly a month. The tips were received via a hotline set up by Davis Polk, the law firm the Assembly retained to help conduct the investigation.

“In total, Davis Polk has spoken with attorneys for about 70 people who may have relevant information,” Lavine said. “And Davis Polk has also been in contact with four government agencies about potentially relevant information — document requests and interviews.”

We're not kidding when we say the show was brief. The portion of the meeting open to the public lasted just 8 minutes!

Who, other than the Davis Polk operators standing-by to take calls, is taking the NY Assembly's impeachment probe seriously? What will any Assembly members who take the matter more seriously do to force their peers running the show into getting their act together?
