“Last year, a political firestorm erupted when journalists revealed that Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein’s lawyer David Boies gave $10,000 to Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. in the months after Vance declined to prosecute the movie producer on sexual assault charges. Now, less than a year later, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has halted an investigation into the handling of the Weinstein case just as Boies’ law firm gave Cuomo’s campaign $25,000, according to state records reviewed by Capital & Main and Sludge.
The controversies spotlight ongoing questions about whether law enforcement actions in New York are being inappropriately influenced by campaign donations.
Amid explosive headlines about Boies’ donations to Vance and the district attorney’s decision not to prosecute Weinstein, Cuomo in March called for the New York Attorney General’s office to investigate the handling of the case, which revolved around accusations that Weinstein groped an Italian model.”

Love you TYT!!! (y)
What content. BS is not content.
The Young Turks dude 25k IS NOT a "quarter of million dollars."
He was talking about $245k which is close enough. Watch the clips and you'll come across as less of a moron.
Every New Yorker needs to vote for Cynthia Nixon on September 13. Destroy the NY establishment. Send them a message.
Vote Cynthia Nixon & get He's been there Too long Cuomo OUT Gritting just like that Clown in The White House
Grifting
I hope Cynthia Nixon wields this information like a samurai sword against Cuomo.
Herb Bluntman are Bernie style progressives allowed to run negative campaigns?
New Yorkers need to get rid of Cuomo!!!
A lot of bureaucracy to overcome.
jason deomes have you heard of Larry Sharpe? He’s running for governor of New York.
Corruption at the highest. Nixon, you know what you need to do.
GO NIXON! Down with Cuomo.
itgetter9 I like Nixon too but he died in '94
Looks like Cynthia Nixon got a win in her column..
Save Americans, vote all corrupt politicians out office.
Will Emily's list now withdraw their endorsement of Cuomo, and back Cynthia Nixon?
Of course not.
Man, I really hope Cynthia Nixon wins against Cuomo in the New York Primary.
Inch by inch, step by step, slowly I turn. (Three Stooges ref) I don't expect the progressive movement to succeed all at once, but winning half, and then winning half, and then winning half... do the math.
Weistein way ahead of you, and made sure he healthily donated to whoever Cynthia Nixon is
Vote Cynthia Nixon.
Quid Pro Cuomo?
Cynthia Nixon 2018!!!
I can imagine she will be huge thorn in the Trump organization
Not only corrupt but also cheap - like their minds ...
Man this is smoke and mirrors, they got something on him.
Checks and Balances. The checks I receive and the new balance in my bank account.
I guess New York was never that great.
It's had its moments.
Sha Liz Years ago.
You know something's wrong when rich people can just pay anybody they want to get out of trouble.
Coumo is a weasel. Vote for Cynthia Nixon!
The DA's office receives money from the defendant's lawyer, and decides not to prosecute ?!?!?!
In what world is this allowed?
It always amazes me that politicians will sell their souls so cheaply
America, best justice you can buy
Get the money out of politics
Down goes Cuomo!
Just watched Cuomo / Nixon debate from NY on CBS2. Nixon won IMO
Cenk, get this story over to Ronan Farrow, Cynthia Nixon and Amy Goodman ASAP. If they all run with it, the MSM will have no choice but to pick up on this story.
What pisses me off more than the corruption itself is how cheap politicians are. $25k and $10k? That's it? That's all it took to buy favors?
I hope this nails Cuomo's coffin shut so we don't have to hear from him anymore
Didn’t Trump give Bondi a 25,000 contribution and then she dropped the Trump University complaint in Florida?
I slept with Pam
I didn't think Nixon had a chance... until right now
I love how people are acting like 10 or 25k is a minuscule amount of money. How many people do you know have that kind of money? I don't care how rich you are if you're a scumbag no amount is too little
Bribed by a rapist! Just wow
The land of the greed
Cynthia Nixon really let him have it during the debate earlier this evening. Although I tuned in 10 mins late, unfortuantely, I believe this was not brought up.
We all know why cnn, fox , nbc and other famous medias don't talk about Weinstein....
We must make government to open such cases, somehow....
Cynthia Nixon thrusted to the front runner!!!
Money out of pollitics
$25k = Andrew Cuomo's 30 pieces of silver.
Corruption at its finest.
That's a low price to compromise one's morals in such a visible manner.
Cheater by the payoffs. $25,000... people sell their ethics & morals cheaply in America.
Just be wealth and connected.
No one involved with the justice department or law enforcement should be allowed to accept political contributions of any kind whatsoever, period.
The swamp is on both sides , always has been, always will be...OF COURSE!!!!
its amazing for how little american politicians can be paid off.
State politicians are cheap. So are college professors. Just ask the Koch's. They own a bunch of them.
Uh, isn't that a felony?
Cuomo you GOTTA GO!!!
The whole family is corrupt
Governor Nixon must be a certainty now.
PageMonster have you heard of Larry Sharpe? He is also running for governor. You might be interested!
Damn I wonder what Chris Cuomo will say about this
I thought the same thing
@@kayray1111 his big brother is up to bad things. I hope he covers it as if it was Trump and not his brother
The only people covering this is fox news. Go watch fox for coverage..
@@jaycee3248 that sucks I hope Chris Cuomo has the guts to cover this
Corrupt and filth protect one another. Strive for leadership, those in prominence that is/are and always will be for you, *each* *and* *every* *one* *of* *you*
Bill Cosby black guy, Harvey white guy... see the difference
He's not white, he's one step above. He's Jewish.
I see it alright, and for the record Weinstein's crimes have been much worse with many more victims and much more recent history.
@sailormanariel Yes, he did. I never said he wasn't guilty.
I just think that Weinstein was doing it right up until his arrest, and it's incredibly odd that although Cosby's conviction was based on things that happened decades ago he was charged and prosecuted.
However, it appears that Weinstein had the opportunity to buy his freedom with large "donations" which appear to look a lot like bribes to Cy Vance and Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Just put them all away .
Cynthia Nixon 👌🏽
zanechaos have you heard of Larry Sharpe? He is also running for governor.
Cynthia for the win!
If Cynthia Nixon can't win with this , she'll never win anything. I hope she crushes him.
Uh ? That's so stupid !
He claims he wants to investigate why a case was dropped because of questions raised after a donation was revealed.
And then he rescind when he gets a donation too ???
How could he have thought it would go unnoticed ? Does he feel so above the law that he doesn't see the risk anymore ?
Cynthia Nixon needs to be the next Governor of New York. I wonder if his brother will be reporting this story.
Tina Schlobohm hey, have you heard of Larry Sharpe? He is also running for governor of New York. You might be interested!
Layers of politics and corruption ... What's new?
That's bribery. Arrest him.
News Flash : theres plenty of cash to throw around
Wow he just lost his seat as governor. Smh.
MsEvilgenius101 Yep
Bye Felicia! 😂
Cuomo is FINISHED.
Let's hope so.
Disgusting
Cynthia Nixon is gonna beat Cuomo with a stick
BlueSmokeGamer he will do 😂
So is CNN Chris COUMO talk about this?????
How bout we wait and see huh
Nope it's on fox news if you want to hear anything about it.
Go Cynthia Nixon
Governor Cynthia Nixon ❤
@IamAahron time will tell
We're supposed to have checks and balances, but it seems all we have are checks.
ha. like it
Yes this story confuses me. It appears to be about money in politics. Cenk perhaps you can help me with this one. How do we get money out. Like a prosecuter running for office needs money to win. Maybe it should be illegal to take money from law firms? Or companies. I also thought there were limits. End pacs too. So much. Has to be simple for people to care.
Take notes Trump administration; this is what competant corruption looks like.
Where is Ronan Farrow? Has he
reported on this? He’s covered a lot
and done incredible work for victims of HW and others.
hope Cynthia Nixon and Zephyr Teachout can pull off some wins.
I wonder if Ms C Nixon is aware of this 🤔
ladyfitness67 have you heard fo Larry Sharpe?
Wow, politicians are cheap.
Lets see what Cuomo's brother has to say about his siblings ethics considering how he (rightly) goes after trump
Chris Cuomo is Andrew Cuomo's younger brother. Their father, Mario Cuomo, died in 2015.
dubbelosexy Wow they definitely look like they are from different generations
@@personalcheeses8073 almost. Its a 13 year difference
Difference in age and morals
Mario's son did the same thing with the Moreland Commission
Well he’s up for re-election so go Cynthia Nixon!
Kelly Fortune have you heard of Larry Sharpe? He’s running for governor of New York too.
The complexion for the protection
Trump's getoutofjail card is his power to pardon but that doesn't work at the state level but if Trump is convicted of crimes in New York state Cuomo could pardon Trump. Cynthia Nixon would never do such a thing but about Cuomo I'm not so sure.
If it walks like a Duck and looks like a Duck ,"its a Duck". Cuomo guilty!
How is it possible that there is no mention in this report about Vance's office not pursuing charges against Ivanka and Donnie Jr after a visit and donation from Kasowitz in 2010 or there about?
You want to challenge the NY Times? I am challenging you for letting that one slip by. Disappointing.
They aren't investigative reporters. They are merely commentators who are dissecting other people work. Which is why they posted a video about the family separation at the border with pictures of the unaccompanied minors from the Obama administration era. Which of course made me look stupid when I shared said video on my Facebook. I'm more careful now with what I share.
Sonya Bowles May I have the name or link of that video?
The Trumpers have been conditioned to call out the left leaning media but NOT the far worse right leaning media. This is why we need fair and impartial television and media on all fronts. A level playing field is much more fun that this corrupt shit we are dealing with.
I thought you were only allowed a maximum campaign contribution of $2,700. So how is it that Boise can give Cuomo $25,000?
so, money is speech...free speech. Case closed.
I give you one guess why CNN is not reporting on this.
He's on their payroll.
@@295Phoenix YES
Corruption.Part of the American Business model since Political Parties began more than 200 YEARS AGO.
As Christie said " It's just business"
Apparently Americans that ARE NOT wealthy enough to bribe anybody,or have moral concerns, or are deeply non-interested as they struggle to keep a roof over their heads and feed the kids cannot get enough clout to get pay-to -play turned into a crime.
So,we get these stories (sometimes) twenty a day nationally,and even more locally as the cancer spreads uncontrolled by anybody,the fox controls the whole barnyard now
Poets priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no-one's jamming their transmission
'Cause when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you

Its not 25g. Its just a 'letter of intent'. Its a wink wink investment. It is disgusting because the millions come after office and these smell of future promises. Smart people invest in the future. The real story is what happens after, not now. Try , e.g., Paul Ryan... follow his next moves after office. Betcha he is slowly rich. But we don't have that kind of attention span, it's our fault...
Wtf Andrew Cuomo
Not sure what all this is saying. Did Cuomo look into the issue or not? What about the Florida prosecutor who dropped the case against the Trump Foundation. Has she been ousted or prosecuted?
Corruption needs addressing!
I hope this means cynthia now wins
TCt83067695 have you heard of Larry Sharpe? He’s also running for governor. I think if anyone is gonna change things it would be him.
Zach Blakeslee nah. Does he take corporate donor cash cause otherwise i dont think i care for him?
TCt83067695 nope he doesn’t!
Great job at connecting the dots
This gov cuomo bears a smacking resemblance to the cnn cuomo
MaKenD Y that’s his brother
Yeah. I'm always surprised by how little money it takes to buy politicians' loyalty.
Seems like way too little money to take these what-should-be career threatening risks.
This will also destroy the justis system over all. If I'm a defense attorney and my client is a blue collar stiff and I know his prosecutor is corrupt I'm going to use that knowledge to get my client off.
@@EthanCookereal well apparently it seams to be all too common.
$10,000? I don’t think so...
Brandon Johnson You’re giving them a pass cause you think the bribe is too low? How lucky for them if they can find twelve jurors like you.
Nixon and Cuomo are awful
25 grand ain't much. If accepting the bread gets Harvey to stop
calling you and badgering you then it's not really a bribe, it's a must!
Haha exactly!!
The SCOTUS doesn't see the corruption either somehow.
... and justice for all.
Why does Andrew seem corrupt but Chris doesn't???
Because they are different people doing different things?
@@tetsbristol so they are brothers at odds?
You don’t get to choose your relations, you can only be the person you are and Chris seems like a decent guy to me.
