How about that: Assembly Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Lavine actually slapped Rich Azzopardi, Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s loyal spokesthug, for bad-mouthing state Attorney General Tish James, who’s overseeing a key investigation into the many sexual-harassment claims against the gov. Lavine (D-LI) is overseeing the Assembly’s own (incredibly slow-moving) impeachment probe of Cuomo, over the sex stuff...
“What, me worry?” That seems to be the motto Gov. Andrew Cuomo has adopted from Mad Magazine’s Alfred E. Neuman: He not only believes he can ride out his numerous scandals, but that he can even joke about them. On Monday, he laughed and kidded during a news conference when The Post asked if he’d...
Conservative: The New Impeachment Question Democrats began impeachment discussions before President Trump even entered office, so it’s not surprising that “they are proposing to remove him from office after he leaves office,” notes the Washington Examiner’s Byron York. It would be a first in US history, so “there is no way to say with 100...

It’s over: The Senate voted 52-48 and 53-47 to acquit President Trump on the House’s impeachment charges. Not because the majority of senators thought Trump’s behavior was “perfect,” but because his conduct and its potential impact simply didn’t rise to the level needed to justify removing a president. What a giant waste of time —...
By the time the House impeachment managers finally wrapped their opening arguments Friday, it had become painfully clear that their goal in this trial is simply to spend as much national-TV time as they can get denouncing President Trump as a menace to the nation and the world. It’s not about proving their case, or...
Impeach watch: The World-Historical Dud At The Hill, Liz Peek snarks: “Is there a law against boring people to death?” If there were, Democrats could be indicted for initiating “such a profound undertaking, the overturning of an American election,” only to yield such a “dramatic dud.” Why do the proceedings make for such lame TV?...
