Does anyone know if the NY Gov. has pardon power for state crimes? [View all]

If so, I think we now know why they're going after Gov. Cuomo so hard (unless he's not running again in 2022).

Zeldin [major Trump loyalist], who voted to overturn the certification of electoral votes on January 6, will challenge New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in 2022. And given that all New York Primaries are scheduled for June 2022, Zeldin will likely have to give us his House seat to run his gubernatorial campaign.

So if a woman doesn't publicly accuse immediately after the occurrence, it didn't happen"? brooklynite Apr 2021 #20

So, no matter when a woman accuses, it happened, Sogo Apr 2021 #23

The situation with Cuomo (and with Franken) is that it wasn't "a" woman. brooklynite Apr 2021 #24

My post was in response to your question about "a" woman, Sogo Apr 2021 #25

How many of the women are pressing charges thus far? ZERO caber09 Apr 2021 #28

Filing criminal charges are not necessary. Sometimes simple acknowledgement is enough... brooklynite Apr 2021 #36

That's BS and you know this.. caber09 Apr 2021 #37
