Of course, many now consider that bit of decency to have been a over-reaction considering the crap that Trump got away with.

As for Cuomo, well... Here's the original, classic, theory that was pushed around when the claims were first being investigated.

And in more modern times, he has fallen to the same explanation that Frankens supporters have. That Letitia James, much like Kirsten Gillibrand, has political motivations.
