Andrew Cuomo says ‘leftist’ Dems pressured Pelosi on impeachment, warns it will go ‘nowhere’

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday said that “leftist” Democrats pressured House Speaker Nancy Pelosi into launching the impeachment inquiry into President Trump, and warned that the inquiry will ultimately go “nowhere.”

“I think we now go to a very long and unproductive road,” he said during a chat on political civility at Seton Hall Law School with former N.J. Gov Chris Christie, according to The New York Daily News.

“Speaker Pelosi was dealing with pressure from her caucus and...there is a heightened leftist component to the Democratic Party that she was feeling pressure for,” Cuomo said. “She is a deliberate, responsible person. She is not a knee-jerk person and I think she even resisted the pressure in her caucus admirably for a long period of time.” […]

“They’re doing their quote unquote inquiry. I think the Ukraine issue raises a lot of questions and I think it is for an investigative committee, it is fodder they can spend months, one witness after another, one witness after another, on all sort of different tracks,” Cuomo said. “Where does it go ultimately? Nowhere, because even if they vote for impeachment, it goes to the Senate and it wouldn’t happen in the Senate. So my guess is that this continues and blends into the presidential campaign. The problem with that is that nothing else is going to get done between now and then.” …

Whoa, what’s up with this? Andrew out of the loop all of a sudden?

[Fireone]

Well, I think Pelosi should go “somewhere”.

[Ciaphas Cain]

The Dems are running on fumes and desperately trying to squeeze mileage from a few drops of extremism.

[From The Deer Stand]

I think Andy knows the public is getting tired of the expensive taxpayer-funded charade and witch hunt. Not to mention there are no grounds for impeachment.

[lowbuck]

I think Andrew still has designs on higher office.

What better credentials than to be the ‘adult in the room’.

I'm sure he is all in for getting rid of President Trump any way you can but realizes that the weak field of candidates and pandering to the lunatic left is going to result in a cleansing of the Dems after the next election.

I think he is just positioning himself for a run down the road.

[madison10]

So...which Cuomo (or one of their friends) wants to step in and run in place of Joe? Is that what this about?

[Nothingburger]

Is he trying to position himself for a presidential run?

Still, I have to give some grudging respect for any voice of reason in this mess.

“New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday said that “leftist” Democrats pressured House Speaker Nancy Pelosi into launching the impeachment inquiry into President Trump, and warned that the inquiry will ultimately go “nowhere.” “

A. Everything dems say is a lie.

2. This is a cover story for something WAAAAY worse inside the dem party.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Andrew needs federal dollars and Congress not doing their jobs will prevent that funding. Also kills any chance of implementing further gun control measures.

[FreeperCell]

From now on, call every liberals bluff. What do we have to lose?

[stanne]

They’re ruining his hopes for the dem party. He’s a serious subversive an unashamed mass killer of the unborn and newborn

That’s what I looks like to me

[GoldenPup]

Wonder who/what woke Cuomo out of his prolonged coma?

[frank ballenger]

In the 1960s the Leftist/Socialist folksinger Phil Ochs had this attack song on liberals.

Love Me, I’m A Liberal

(middle excerpt....)
Ah, the people of old Mississippi
Should all hang their heads in shame
Now, I can’t understand how their minds work
What’s the matter don’t they watch Les Crane?
But if you ask me to bus my children
I hope the cops take down your name
So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal

Yes, I read New Republic and Nation
I’ve learned to take every view
You know, I’ve memorized Lerner and Golden
I feel like I’m almost a Jew
But when it comes to times like Korea
There’s no one more red, white and blue
So love me, love me, love me, I’m a liberal

I vote for the democratic party
They want the U.N. to be strong
I attend all the Pete Seeger concerts
He sure gets me singing those songs
And I’ll send all the money you ask for
But don’t ask me to come on along

Love me, love me, I’m a liberal

[seawolf101]

I guess we have entered The Twilight Zone when Fredo´s brother is the only one that is level minded and actually makes sense. Sounds like he´s positioning himself to be the One that saves the democratic party. Because the extreme left is about to destroy it.

[dfwgator]

Reminds me of Randy Newman’s “Rednecks”.....

Now your northern n*****’s a negro
You see he’s got his dignity
Down here we’re too ignorant to realize
That the North has set the n***** free
Yes he’s free to be put in a cage
In Harlem in New York City
And he’s free to be put in a cage
On the South Side of Chicago
And the West Side
And he’s free to be put in a cage
In Hough in Cleveland
And he’s free to be put in a cage
In East St. Louis
And he’s free to be put in a cage
In Fillmore in San Francisco
And he’s free to be put in a cage
In Roxbury in Boston
They’re gatherin’ ‘em up from miles around
Keepin’ the n*****s down

[stanne]

I wouldn’t gone this infanticide freak the benefit of ‘reason’. It’s always a power play.

This impeachment is a joke. Did you laugh when you first heard it? I did

Cuomo knows that.

[RitaOK]

Coumo is late. Who didn’t already know this?

Andrew is falling into save-myself mode. Several will likely follow that liddle path.

There are theories out there in the tweeter world that this is so much of an obvious train wreck for the entire Democrat Party and for the Coup Clowns that perhaps, it’s posited, that you gotta think Nancy Pelosi is permitting it, in order to save herself. Hitting a wall at high speed is seldom recommended, but there she blows.

The question is could many of these Leftists be under threats, blackmail and financial pressure, similar to some unknown pressure, similar to mysterious pressures placed on or against Chief Justice Roberts?

[headstamp 2]

Give him about a week. He’ll be all for it too.

[frank ballenger]

He’s a serious subversive an unashamed mass killer of the unborn and newborn

You are so right.

When leftists try to push their sanctimonious "moral" stand BS remind them they kill unborn babies by "abortion" murder and condone doctors pulling out the baby and smashing his or her skull to get the organ harvesting for profit going. Just fetal tissue mass for sale.

A disgrace and a crime.
