Now that disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo is safely out of power, the Assembly has finally released its impeachment report detailing “profoundly disturbing” findings on his sexual harassment of 12 women, his COVID nursing-home cover-ups and his tainted $5.1 million book deal.

Despite Speaker Carl Heastie’s promise back in August to conclude the impeachment probe and release its findings “as quickly as possible,” it took nearly four months. Did they not even start before Cuomo quit?

At least the report broke some new ground, including finding that Cuomo had a direct hand in drafting the fateful March 25 nursing-home directive and in editing the state Department of Health’s report on deaths in those homes to lowball the actual figure. It also reveals that numerous Executive Chamber staff and state workers testified that state resources went to preparing Cuomo’s book lauding his pandemic response, and it draws the key connection between his desire to score the fat book contract and his work in suppressing the truth about the nursing homes.

Cuomo mouthpiece Rich Azzopardi calls the Assembly report “hype,” but tellingly doesn’t deny that his boss used state workers to help on the book. Instead, he just notes that Assembly members “force employees to volunteer on their political partisan campaigns as standard practice.” Is that the same as helping the boss pocket $5 million personally?

The real question is: When do criminal charges flow from all this?
