It's just that why does their side never pay any price? Why do "investigations" into their crimes take years and years to develop? Again, I'm not defending Cuomo. I just want equal justice for their misdeeds (of which there are legions).

Was a great proponent for gay marriage, banned fracking but he was always known as a bully. Using a position of power to coerce and intimidate is not excusable no matter how he did other parts of his job.

He should have known better. Just like Eliot Spitzer arrogant to the result of self destruction. Kathy Hochul is very qualified to take over.
