New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his top aides and lawyers are picking apart state Attorney General Tish James' report on Cuomo's pattern of harassment and mistreatment of women
— as a political witch hunt and argued during a lengthy
James’ modus operandi to some appeared to be an outsized effort to avoid charges of political bias — and offers a striking comparison to how Cuomo investigated the state executive himself when he was New York’s attorney general, most notably his 2007 probe into Spitzer’s use of state police for political purposes. Spitzer resigned as governor the following year amid a prostitution scandal.
She also called it “insulting” to suggest Kim can’t be fair because of who his friends are, as such a rule “would knock out a huge percentage of the legal community, including Cuomo’s lawyer Rita Glavin.” But Cuomo’s office pushed back on making comparisons between AG Cuomo's and AG James’ probes into their respective governors, especially as Cuomo’s investigation into Spitzer was based on a narrow time frame and series of events, while the allegations against Cuomo have spanned multiple years and a lengthy political career.
A main complaint from the Cuomo administration about James’ findings is that they were not given advance notice of the final findings or copies of the interviews.
