I have this idea that the R's , esp Trump, are behind these revelations about Cuomo [View all]

Either to destroy Cuomo’s further political chances as “payback”, or to get him out of the way so someone can pardon Trump for NY crimes.

Trump is also in NY today.

It is smart for Cuomo to call for an investigation.
-not resigning , not being “Frankened”.

Anyone else think “ hmmmmm.... maybe”?
