Let’s see what old Andrew does. I really think this is important. Cuomo is one of the first names you think of when you are naming prominent ‘Democrats’. Let’s see whether or not he lives down to my expectations. Not that I matter that much. Or you for that matter. Unless you are fortunate enough to carry enough ‘weight’ on the right side of the socio-economic scale. Then the rules are made to accomodate.

Gov. Cuomo Could Oust DA Vance But They Share A Party — And Donors

Embattled Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. may be running for reelection unopposed, but that doesn’t mean he’s off the hook for declining to prosecute cases against Harvey Weinstein and President Donald Trump’s eldest children and accepting campaign cash from lawyers linked to those would-be defendants in the process. Under New York law, Vance could be immediately removed from office by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a fellow Democrat.

The major obstacle to such a move, however, might not be a shared party, but shared donors: Cuomo himself has received $127,000 from some of the same Vance contributors at the heart of the recent controversies — and his gubernatorial campaigns have also received more than $72,000 directly from Weinstein himself.

For instance, as IBT reported, in the middle of his office’s investigation into the Trump Soho deal, Vance accepted $10,000 from Elkan Abramowitz, whose firm was helping the Trump defense team. Abramowitz served as Cuomo’s lawyer in 2015 as the governor fended off a federal corruption probe, and Abramowitz has given $17,000 to Cuomo during his political career, according to state campaign finance records.

Similarly, Weinstein’s longtime lawyer David Boies gave Vance $10,000 in August of 2015, just a few months after Vance decided to drop an investigation into allegations Weinstein groped a model in Manhattan. Boies, who wasn't representing Weinstein in the 2015 criminal investigation, has contributed $55,000 to Vance over the years,

While it is too late for an opponent to appear opposite Vance on next month’s ballot, on Wednesday former Brooklyn district attorney candidate Marc Fliedner, who lost in the Democratic primary last month, declared himself a write-in candidate for Vance’s job in Manhattan.
