If Cuomo resigns does his succesor parden the maggot

[MFM008]

on those state charges?
Anyone?

[soothsayer]

1. No

And I don’t think he’s resigning.

[Dorian Gray]

22. I don't think he'll resign

not even close.

Chance of impeachment? Probably higher than resigning but unlikely.

2. Not sure why this question keeps being asked. Is some MSM source suggesting this?

The Lt. Governor is a Democratic woman so I highly doubt she would do such a thing. Why would she?

[MFM008]

4. yes

its all over twitter, I dont know why.

8. Here's why

9. That's why?

Should we have even heard of Junker?

[Thekaspervote]

12. There are multiple twitter posts saying the same

I have followed this person for years and is a reliable source!

15. Which Two?

Stone/Bannon?

17. Answering My Own Question

"We are seriously considering it," Rep. Tom Reed, R-Corning, told the USA TODAY Network New York last week.
Reed is among a number of Republicans who are eyeing a run in 2022, a list that also includes Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro, who ran in 2018, and Reps. Lee Zeldin and Elise Stefanik.

And there is also a host of Democrats being discussed, such as Attorney General Letitia James, outgoing New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio or Westchester County Sen. Alessandra Biaggi."

I did wonder why Ms. Biaggi was being so adamant that Cuomo has to resign. Zeldin/Stefanik...no way.

18. What elephant in the room is she addressing? This is asinine

If he resigns, the Lt Gov becomes the governor. If this is what people are worried about, that is another good reason for him to resign.
The gubernatorial election is next year. Just as when his predecessor Elliot Spitzer resigned, the Lt Gov David Patterson, filled out the term as Governor.
Of course there will be a republican opponent next year. Duh! Isn't that what we do in elections?
Even if he does not resign, there will still be an election with a republican opponent.

[Dorian Gray]

23. Even IF they won

This is the executive office until Dec. 31, 2022. We have almost two years of this Democratic Admin. If Cuomo goes, his Lietenant Governor would be in charge until then.

And in two years, if Trump has been criminally charged, it'll be really unpopular in NY State to pardon him.

11. I'd forgotten what an excellent source of information Twitter is.

Not.

[Ponietz]

3. It would benefit a 2022 RepuQue candidate who can and will

[choie]

5. The Lieutenant Governor

is Kathy Hochul, a Democrat - I don't think there'd be much chance of her pardoning Trump or stopping the investigations.

[calguy]

6. Cuomo isn't going to resign. Period.

Unless he committed an actual crime he's not about to resign. Worst case scenario his popularity sinks so low he doesn't seek re-election. Other than that, he's not going anywhere.

[Me.]

14. Exactly

[Blue_true]

7. No. She is a solid Democrat, she won't let Trump off. nt

[Celerity]

13. The OP was talking about Rump in regards to a pardon. NT

[MFM008]

16. Maggot

probably very excited about Cuomos predicament because he has never had any shame about his own history of RAPE.

[gldstwmn]

19. What charges?

There aren't any charges yet.

[TreasonousBastard]

20. Not so easy in NY...

https://ccresourcecenter.org/state-restoration-profiles/new-york-restoration-of-rights-pardon-expungement-sealing/

On January 1, 2015 Governor Cuomo announced the establishment of a dedicated website administered by his office to serve as a resource for pardon applicants. http://www.ny.gov/services/apply-clemency. The website includes procedural and substantive standards for considering pardon (e.g., “Pardon applicants must demonstrate a specific and compelling need for relief and a substantial period of good citizenship” and “Unless there are exceptional and compelling circumstances, a pardon is not considered if the applicant has other administrative remedies available to them, such as a certificate of good conduct or a certificate of relief from disabilities, pursuant to provisions of Article 23 of the Corrections Law.”)

[Dorian Gray]

21. unlikely

We would have democratic lieutenant governor in charge until end of next year. Then election. While it's possible for a republican governor at that point, it would be unpopular to pardon trump in NY state.


If Gov. Cuomo resigns or is impeached, Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul would serve as Governor until the end of Gov. Cuomo’s term, according to N.Y.’s Constitution, on December 31, 2022.
