NYS Assembly Republicans to launch impeachment effort against Cuomo
[NYPOST] Republicans in the state Assembly on Monday drafted a resolution to impeach Gov. Cuomo amid mounting allegations of inappropriate behavior with younger women and the scandal over nursing home deaths from COVID-19.

The resolution will be formally introduced on Tuesday, a front man for Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay (R-Syracuse) said.

During a news conference earlier in the day, Barclay said, "We’re going to introduce this resolution because we believe the time has come."

"There’s been one bombshell after another," Barclay said.

"I don’t think I’ve used the term bombshell, especially this weekend, anytime more in my life."

Barclay’s comments came after two more women — former aides Ana Liss and Karen Hinton — on Saturday brought the number of Cuomo’s accusers to five.

Hinton, the wife of lobbyist and former Cuomo administration official Howard Glaser, claims Cuomo twice pulled her into an "intimate embrace" in 2000, when he was the US housing secretary under then-President Bill Clinton
...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of the word is...
A short time after the GOP announcement, a group of 20 Democratic assemblywomen — including some of the chamber’s most powerful members — signaled they would oppose impeachment proceedings before the conclusion of a pending probe of the allegations against Cuomo.

Gov. Cuomo's top lawyer Kumiki Gibson jumps ship
[NYPOST] Governor Andrew Sonny Cuomo’s top lawyer is leaving after less than two years on the job, the latest resignation in a wave of departures from the administration besieged by dueling scandals involving nursing homes and sexual harassment allegations.

Kumiki Gibson has served as Counsel to the Governor, Cuomo’s chief lawyer, since Sept. 2019, but she will be leaving the administration this Friday for a job in the non-profit sector, according to the governor’s office.

"I informed the Executive Chamber a month ago that I planned to leave State service and have accepted a position at a nationally prominent not-for-profit organization," Gibson said in a statement.

"It has been an honor and privilege to work for the Governor and the people of the State of New York. I remain deeply impressed with the talent and dedication of my legal team and will forever be grateful for having the opportunity to serve New Yorkers."

They need to be reminded now that those who have experience with such things noticed his decline during the Iowa Primary. He was doing noticeable behaviors during The General. Guy has been in politics 40 some years, including some high profile spots such as 8 years Vice President including a heated, energetic vice-presidential debate, but now suddenly he has 'a stutter, always has'?

Because the media and government is going to give him the Rocky defeats Ivan Drago treatment.

Get ahead of the sales pitch.

Newsom recall leaders say they have enough signatures to trigger an election
[MSN] Leaders of the effort to recall Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Sunday they've collected 1.95 million signatures a little more than a week before the deadline, a number they believe will be more than enough to trigger a special recall election.

County and state elections officials still need to verify that nearly 1.5 million are valid signatures from registered California voters before the recall can qualify for the ballot. But recall supporters said Sunday that they're confident they've collected enough.

The most recent signature verification numbers from the Secretary of State's Office found that about 83% of the signatures counted by early February were valid. There's no guarantee that validity rate will hold for the remaining signatures, but if it does, proponents would reach the threshold needed to trigger a special recall election.

Democrats renew calls to remove J. Edgar Hoover's name from FBI building
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Rep. Steve Cohen vowed to renew the push to remove former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s name from the bureau’s downtown Washington headquarters, according to an interview released Monday.
Chicken-eating asshole
Appearing on Yahoo! News’ Skullduggery podcast, the Tennessee Democrat said the effort is getting a fresh look after the release of a new movie highlighting the FBI’s secret program to discredit civil rights activists.

The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters.
