30 June 2021: NY Assembly Collects 100,000 Pages of Documents

Lawmakers probing Cuomo amass trove of 100,000 documents

The New York Assembly's committee investigating Governor Cuomo's multiple scandals revealed it hit a magic number in probe:

New York lawmakers considering whether to impeach Gov. Andrew Cuomo have collected more than 100,000 pages of documents, including emails, texts, letter documents, photographs, contracts and transcripts.

A law firm working for the Assembly’s Judiciary Committee, which is probing accusations of sexual harassment and malfeasance, continues to gather “substantive evidence,” Chairman Charles Lavine said in a Wednesday meeting before entering executive session.

“I am very pleased with the continued progress of the investigation,” Lavine said. “The purpose of this process is to both gather substantive evidence, as well as to assess the credibility and corroborate information learned during interviews.”

100,000 pages sounds like it may be a lot, but is it really? The question now is what will they do with the documents they've gathered? Other than use them for PR purposes by claiming they've amassed 100,000 pages of documents?
