New York’s Governor Has Suspended An Investigation Into The Handling Of A 2015 Weinstein Case

On June 26, Cuomo’s office sent Attorney General Barbara Underwood a letter calling for a six-month pause in the investigation so that it would not hamper Vance’s prosecution of Weinstein on sexual assault charges stemming from allegations that came to light in 2017 in the New York Times and the New Yorker. Coming two years after the initial accusations, the 2017 claims led victim advocates to criticize Vance for not prosecuting Weinstein earlier and led Cuomo to announce the investigation into the district attorney’s actions....

While the governor had publicly announced in March that he was calling on the attorney general to investigate Vance, his office had kept under wraps the fact that he suspended it three months later....

Six days before Cuomo's office sent the June letter directing the attorney general to suspend its investigation, the law firm that was representing Weinstein in 2015 donated $25,000 to the governor's campaign.

You can fuck a bunch of above average whores for $25K. If it helps you avoid jail time or influences an investigation, I call it money well spent.
