10 February 2022: Cuomo to File Misconduct Complaint Against NYS AG Letitia James

Andrew Cuomo to file professional misconduct complaint against New York Attorney General Letitia James

This report indicates Andrew M. Cuomo will file a complaint against New York State Attorney General Letitia "Tish" James.

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo plans to file a complaint against New York Attorney General Letitia James with a state judicial committee that reviews allegations of professional misconduct involving attorneys, a lawyer for Cuomo said Thursday.

The attorney, Rita Glavin, accused James's office of "selectively" redacting information in the bombshell sexual harassment report that last year led to Cuomo's resignation from office, as well as including "materially misleading information" in the report, and "slow-rolling" the release of the underlying interview depositions after announcing its findings.

Glavin said James' office has not taken Cuomo's criticisms of the report seriously.

"What she has done and all she has done is she has publicly dismissed our complaints," Glavin said.

"(Cuomo) feels strongly that there was misconduct here, that the attorney general misused her office," Glavin said Thursday while announcing the complaint, which she said will be filed to an Attorney Grievance Committee. Glavin said it's not yet clear if Cuomo will only file the complaint against James, or if he will also name investigators who worked on the report. She did not commit to making the complaint public.

To be fair, Andrew M. Cuomo's personal attorney Rita Glavin has to do things to keep cashing the paychecks she gets from Cuomo, who has a $16.4 million campaign fund he's seemingly using to pay for much of the legal help he's consuming. She won't become a multi-millionaire by not doing things Cuomo wants, even if she's not willing to make the things she's doing public.

Cuomo confirms not running against state A.G. James, will address allegations against him ‘soon’

We came across this report, from which we'll feature the main news item in a separate timeline entry. The report however contains the response of the New York state attorney general's office to Rita Glavin's claims:

“If he thinks he has a real legal case, he should go ahead and file it,” James’ office said in a statement. “These attacks are disgraceful and yet another desperate charade to mask the truth: Andrew Cuomo is a serial sexual harasser.”

James' office's response is a variation of Cuomo's former press secretary Karen Hinton's "Run, Andrew, Run" challenge. But if you hadn't guessed it already from the headline for this report, he's not willing to do that....
