A mysterious tweet by Andrew Cuomo
[Hat tip: Legal Insurrection.]
Here’s the tweet:
DOJ must immediately explain the reason for its raid & it must be more than a search for inconsequential archives or it will be viewed as a political tactic and undermine any future credible investigation & legitimacy of January 6 investigations.
— Andrew Cuomo (@andrewcuomo) August 9, 2022
Now here are my attempts at an explanation:
(1) Cuomo is planning to challenge Newsom for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2024, and is positioning himself as the alternative “moderate” candidate.
(2) Cuomo has a hunch the raid could cause a backlash that would favor Trump, and he wants to sound a warning not to go too far.
(3) Cuomo is so out of the loop these days that he failed to get the memo, and is reacting under the standards of decades ago.
(4) Cuomo wants attention, and this tweet makes him stand out from the pack.
(5) Because Cuomo was finally thrown under the bus by the left, he’s afraid the FBI/DOJ will do something to him resembling what they did to Trump.
Maybe Andy has some documents he forgot to return
(6) There are some NSFW videos of Cuomo on Hunter Biden’s laptop.
7) Who the Pluperfect cares what Andrew Cuomo says?
I hadn’t thought of option one. Seems likely.
Two and Five most likely
Well, I find it interesting.
Back in the Cold War days analysts spoke of “Kremlinology” — attempting to understand the policies of the USSR, given that its inner workings were largely hidden. As Churchill famously said:
___________________________
I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.
___________________________
The Democrat Party has become rather opaque since Obama was elected. Those of us interested have become, one might say, Demo-Kremlinologists.
I find it fascinating that it’s hard to tell who, if anyone, is in charge of what over there these days.
I’m sure “party interest” is as much the key with Dems as the Soviet Communist Party. Though what slot the roulette ball falls into when the wheel spins remains mysterious.
We can exclude 3 because Cuomo never had any standards. My guess is 2 and 5 are most likely, but still very curious for a Dem.
And the answer is… all of the above.
As any possible contradictions in choosing them all is simply business as usual on the left.
Door #5.
Agree door #5. This is too out of character to be normal posturing. This is fear.
He’s narcissistic enough for #1.
Stupid enough to think he still has juice in the party for #2-4.
But #5 (which may well include the proffered #6) is the best bet.
Well, one thing we know is that Cuomo did not speak because the action was too sleazy for his standards.
More than one of the answers is plausible. I initially assumed that he was warning against backlash. But, given his devious mind, and stunted moral character, it is impossible to state too emphatically what motivated him.
If there is not a significant backlash, the country is even farther gone than I realized.
man killed more people than bin laden, yet trump is the one whose home and property were intervened, it still urks me, and I’m not a new york resident,
You forgot the alternative: Maybe he’s a True Believer who wants Trump to end up in jail or at least never able to run again, and he’s genuinely concerned about the DOJ undermining its own investigation 🙂
Sadly, I still prefer Cuomo to plenty of other potential Democratic nominees. He’d be doing a much better job than Joe Schmoe right now.
Revenge – people going after Trump are same ones that three Cuomo under the bus.
Cuomo knows three things:
1. Trump is now probably going to be the next President.
2. Trump had the Epstein list, so now the FBI has it too.
3. He’s on it.

That’s #2.
Cuomo absolutely despises the current NY attorney General, Letitia James. She’s the one who got him removed from office. She’s also conducting a witch hunt (inquirey) against Trump for which he pled the 5th yesterday.
I think (2). Cuomo hates Trump with a passion exceeded only by the Lincoln Project. He wants him in jail, and thinks this will backfire.
