As corrupt as his father and as slimy as his brother, it turns out Andrew Cuomo dropped the sexual assault case against Harvey Weinstein shortly after receiving a $25,000 donation from Weinstein’s law firm. Pay to play anyone? I’ll bet little brother Chrissy doesn’t mention a word of this story on CNN. I guess America was great to Cuomo when he got away with this.

Andrew Cuomo, the corrupt Governor of New York halted a sexual assault case into Harvey Weinstein 6 days after receiving a $25,000 donation from Weinstein’s law firm.
On June 20th, Manhattan law firm who formerly represented Weinstein, Boies Schiller & Flexner, donated $25,000 to Governor Cuomo’s campaign–less than a week later, Cuomo called off the NY Attorney General’s investigation into Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance for deciding not to prosecute Weinstein for a 2015 groping accusation.
Cuomo told The Post, “The attorney general’s investigation was suspended to avoid situations in which Weinstein’s defense attorneys would be able to constantly petition the attorney general’s office for information about what they uncovered and undermine a criminal prosecution.”Harvey Weinstein surrendered to New York Police in May and appeared for his arraignment in a Manhattan court in July.
