Gov. Cuomo resigns.
Good for him doing the right thing - politically.....
Now I hope he gets a fair shake in any legal proceedings.
I can’t shake the feeling that his resignation WAS the legal proceeding, ie ‘Quit and we won’t prosecute.’

From what I've heard criminal prosecution for the sex charges would be a waste of money, not enough bang for the buck. They might consider criminal charges related to his covid book. I don't know enough of the details to speculate more.
Also, there is still a possibility of civil cases.

And OLB leaps to the defense of an almost certain serial sex pest and arguably a mass murderer of the elderly.
Why am I not surprised

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers on Tuesday formally rejected multiple bills passed by state lawmakers that would have imposed more restrictions for absentee voting in the state, calling them "anti-democratic."
One of the bills, which were passed by Wisconsin's Republican-controlled legislature in June, would have required voters to complete more paperwork to get an absentee ballot -- and others would have required elderly and disabled residents to provide a photo ID to get a ballot and barred clerks from correcting defects on absentee ballot envelopes.

But keep running around with your nose up his ass. It looks good on you. In this case, they are virtually indistinguishable (to anyone who doesn't have their head rammed up OLB ass)
But keep snarling and barking in his defense it suits you. Maybe OLB will give you a treat and a belly rub for being a good doggy
