Zephyr Teachout specifically ran for AG on the basis of prosecuting Cuomo, during the same year (2018) that Cynthia Nixon ran for governor on a similar theme. Nixon was crushed in the primary by Cuomo by 30 points. IMO, they know the nursing home stuff was not enough to do him in, so they added some sex to spice it up. Boylan (the first accuser) is the typical Rose Twitter alt-left type who hates Dems.
Of course two things could be true at once. He could be guilty of these charges AND they also are just cynically using it to take him down, timed just as the primary season is on the horizon. That's why we need the AG to investigate, and let the facts go where they may.
