BREAKING: carl hastie has suspended the cuomo impeachment
- Thread starter Jmac00
- Start date
And just like that, cuomo's political future is given a new lease on life. The local piece of kotex has an article on their website. You gotta love the logic employed:
In a legal memo provided by Heastie's office, attorneys for the Assembly were asked if it was possible to impeach and convict "a person who has resigned from public office."
Their conclusion? "Probably not," though they noted the question has not been "definitively answered" by the state courts.
At issue is language in the state constitution that allows for two outcomes for those who are convicted at impeachment trial: "removal from office, or removal from office and disqualification."
The Assembly's legal memo makes the case that since both options include "removal from office," they can't legally impeach or try someone who has already left office.
Curious - wasn't trump impeached after he left office? I'd bet every lawyer that agreed with the statement above was all in favor of impeaching trump the second time.

I heard on the radio that Cuomo could lay low for a while and come out running for office . G Pataki Said this in an interview...If he is charged with a criminal offence It will be allowed to be just a mis, charge

This will not happen. There is no proof beyond a reasonable doubt that he groped any of these women. I completely think he did it but it will not go to trial because of this.

Funny I wonder if Cuomo will reconsider his resignation now.

No. His second impeachment occurred before he left office. January 13th 2021 to be exact.
Pretty much, yes. Most lawyers would agree that you can impeach someone who is in office at the time of impeachment.

The heads of the 5 families made their point clear. He resigned so no need to bother with pesky laws and legal prosecution.

Fat chance
Not necessarily, this all depends on the statements of his many victims as well as a bit of proof. Time will tell, I do remain a bit hopeful,

He gets away with everything and always will. The whole damn bunch of them are crooked. Term limits for all elected offices from local to national.

There is virtually no end to the list of crimes he could be prosecuted for.
Many with irrefutable paper trails.
All it would take is a prosecutor with balls.
I am not holding my breath.

well any prosecution would have to be on a Federal level I would think. Any state level shit would be pardoned by Hochul ?
But if Hochul wants to get ELECTED as Governor, she best think real hard about a pardon for this perver......Im mean Italian

I'll say, 'recall' Heastie, but I think you all know what I mean.
Feel free to fix it for me.

Lots of folks were calling it from the beginning. TPTB gave him the option to resign and not face impeachment. They may even use their muscle to back off potential criminal charges.
Yes, this opens the door for him to potentially run for office again though he's out for now.
Maybe we can see some sort of Cuomo - Spitzer -Weiner ticket in the future.

Heastie should be swinging next to Cuomo.
The fact is with lack of impeachment he can hold office and position within govt again! No accountability for this guy throughout his political life!
3 men in a room running State Gov't and w of the three behind bars, he still escapes culpability for sexual assault while in the highest office of the State!
The New Teflon Don!
Simply amazing!

Its extremely discouraging how broken our entire political system is. Alot could be fixed with term limits on all political positions, and retrictions on how many appointed positions can be held at any given time as this would help limit the size of govt.
That's what you get for letting greasy vowel motherfuckers run the show!

something tells me that once I go mobile, and offgrid, I should stay there. Keep moving from state to state and place to place. The more mobile, the better. Become the Gray man. Don't give anyone any reason to talk to you.
Me and the boss are perfectly happy being alone, as long as we are together. We might have to wonder into town for food every now-n-then, but other than that we'll be perfectly happy in the wilderness

It makes no sense to impeach someone who will be out of office either way by the time the impeachment is concluded.
It was stupid when they did it to Trump and it would be stupid now. Regardless of the merits (or lack thereof) to either case.
Impeachment is the process to remove someone from office. If they're out anyway its just dumb.
It would be like evicting someone 3 days before their lease expires. No point.

its also about discrediting the individual so they can never hold office again. The impeachment was not about removing the King, its about keeping him from running again. Same thing for 45

If either of them could win again, then that would be irrelevant.
It's like "who's line is it anyway". The rules are all made up and all that matters is power. If you've got power, then an 'exception' will be found for you.
Remember when they discovered that you can mishandle classified information all you want as long as you didn't *mean* any harm by it ?
But, it is kind of cute when people think we still have the rule of law.
