20 October 2021: Cuomo’s Ongoing War on Tish James

Cuomo’s War on Tish James Continues

The New York Magazine describes Andrew M. Cuomo's long-running attempts to smear New York State Attorney General Letitia James, until very recently, a one-sided feud that we think may have begun with the realization she wasn't one of his JCOPE commission appointees several months before her office released its multiple findings on Cuomo's alleged sexual harassment incidents.

In any case, this report picks up on the response of the attorney general's office, which we've selected as our excerpt:

A spokesman from the Attorney General’s office responded to Glavin’s claims in a statement: “Another day, another baseless attack by the former governor who resigned so he didn’t have to participate in an impeachment hearing. The most concerning part of today’s charade was the former governor’s attempt to stifle a legal criminal investigation into allegations that he used state resources for a book deal and personal profit. This is not the Moreland Commission, and we will not be bullied into shutting down this investigation like the former governor did with that commission.”

That's the entire official statement.
