ALBANY, N.Y. — New York lawmakers will take “months” to investigate the allegations against Gov. Andrew Cuomo before deciding whether to bring articles of impeachment against the three-term governor.

State Assembly Judiciary Chair Charles Lavine, appearing Tuesday at the first formal meeting to discuss the inquiry, repeatedly promised to ensure “due process“ and said committee members would be “judicious in their pursuit of the truth."

“At this early stage, it’s not possible to say precisely how long this investigation will take,” Lavine (D-Nassau County) said during the virtual meeting. “Given the breadth and seriousness of the issues under investigation, we expect the timing will be in terms of months, rather than weeks.”

Lavine’s committee has been tasked with investigating the myriad allegations levied against Cuomo in recent months and determining whether any of them warrants taking steps toward New York’s first impeachment in more than a century. The committee met on Tuesday to formally introduce Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP as the law firm that will be assisting with the investigation.

1. Do NOT know why they're hell bent on getting Cuomo out of office. Somethings not right here

... and I don't care who the actors are, wait for an investigation and facts and people saying shit under oath.

3. Same group hell bent on damaging candidate Biden, it appears.

You think they'd have learned from the Tara Reade fiasco.

5. +1, the "resign now" coalition will be so embarrassed if nothing of note is found

[Budi]

6. They should be. Cuomo'd probably win again in 22. & they'd deserve it.

7. One of his accusers is not cooperating with the investigation.

Red flags all around.

8. The 1st two that rolled out the initial claims now aren't talking so much

Fundraise, start a PAC, sell the salacious story to the tabloids & press & social media talking points.
But when it comes to saying it to a court & under oath, with the threat of perjury looming, they suddenly have nothing to say. 🙄

This whole thing is exactly what it looks like to every reasonable thinking person.
The weaponizing of #METOO for political gain, is about the most disgusting abuse of those women who actually have a claim & won't hide from telling the truth Under Oath.

By the time 2022 election rolls around, they'll all be cashing in on the fundraisers & Cuomo will be re-elected Gov.

This whole abuse of #METOO is really sick.

BTW. Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik is now selling 'Cuomo Resign' tee shirts & accessories.
Way to go!! Whooo hooo
Everybody's cashing in.

2. I imagine it's harder to impeach when the accusers refuse to speak under oath.
