Brittany Cuomo says she has been revictimized after New York prosecutors declined to pursue forcible touching charges against former governor Andrew Cuomo, who allegedly groped her in late 2020
Fellow Cuomo accusers Alyssa McGrath (bottom inset) and Virginia Limmiatis (top inset) said through their lawyer that while disappointed in the outcome, they were not surprise by the ruling.
right now based on what we know reported. going on? yes. did they build enough of a wall around themselves that they can put their head in the sand and play dumb? probably. and, you know, it may be that the democrats have to just give that kind of evidence up in the interest of going forward on impeachment on the president. all right, mimi roca, leann caldwell. joining me now on set is new york democratic congressman and member of the foreign affairs and financial services gregory meeks. i jokingly said there s not much to talk about. at least there is this hour. let me first get your thoughts on where the impeachment inquiry stands today. you ve been at some of those depositions. do you want to share with us your assessment of where this thing is going right now? well, i think we re moving, we re doing our work in a methodical way, trying to get all of the facts and, you know,
more with mimi about the importance of a judge saying this out loud, that this is a house impeachment inquiry that s authorized, and the white house s arguments about this are in some respects laughable, but that has been proven already by the fact that all of these witnesses have trundled into this secure basement in the house offices, because one of the legal claims that the white house has made and the state department and the defense department have made to these witnesses you d better not go in there, because this is not an authorized inquiry. the lawyers for those witnesses have all obviously agreed that that doesn t hold water and that they re witnesses, their clients can go in. and in fact, in a lot of cases, people have said we re not going to testify, and the minute the house pushes, they say i m on my way in. mimi, i did on twitter promise our viewers that we would dedicate at least a good portion of this show to how to secure your phone so that you don t accidentally bu
to, they wouldn t go through with the investigations, so we had to force them to. you know, that s, wow. if i heard that on a wiretap as a prosecutor, if we were monitoring a phone and heard that, our jaws would have dropped, because you don t usually get sort of admissions that explicit. and again, i think this just knocks down this argument that there is no quid pro quo, which, again, you don t need, but now, i mean, you have giuliani in a moment when he was unguarded and didn t know someone was listening, saying, essentially admitting, that they forced ukraine to do these investigations, these sham investigations. all right, well, you and i now both have for the first times i think in our careers said butt dial on tv. we have somehow preserved carol s integrity, and she hasn t had to say it. who knows what happens next. thanks to both of you, carol leonnig and mimi rocah.
