Cuomo Received $25,000 From Weinstein Lawyer’s Firm as He Suspended Probe
« on: August 29, 2018, 03:27:36 pm »


Last year, a political firestorm erupted when journalists revealed that Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein’s lawyer David Boies gave $10,000 to Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. in the months after Vance declined to prosecute the movie producer on sexual assault charges. Now, less than a year later, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has halted an investigation into the handling of the Weinstein case just as Boies’ law firm gave Cuomo’s campaign $25,000, according to state records reviewed by Capital & Main and Sludge.

The controversies spotlight ongoing questions about whether law enforcement actions in New York are being inappropriately influenced by campaign donations.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

   Who could possibly be stupid enough to donate to Cuomo, oh wait, don't answer that.
