Either hell has just frozen over, or disgraced Gov. Andrew Cuomo is up to something. When the former far-left Radical governor of NY takes the side of the GOP over Biden’s DOJ, one can’t help but remain skeptical of his anterior motives.
Cuomo did the unthinkable on Tuesday and joined Republicans in questioning why the FBI raided the Florida home of his longtime arch-rival Donald Trump.
“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,” Cuomo tweeted Tuesday morning about the raid overseen by the Department of Justice under President Joe Biden, with whom the ex-governor has shared a friendly relationship.
Liberals lost their minds over Cuomo’s criticism of the Biden Justice Department setting off a tsunami of attacks against the former NY governor.
“Andrew Cuomo is wrong. DOJ doesn’t have to explain anything. They never announced they searched Mar-a-Lago. Trump did. He’s the one who politicized it by (a) stealing documents, (b) refusing to return the documents, and (c) pretending to be the victim after he broke the law,” progressive pundit Keith Boykin charged.
“Didn’t expect to see Andrew Cuomo running with the @GOP messaging on Trump’s FBI troubles. Snatching tubs of classified documents isn’t “inconsequential” — the law considers it a national security risk,” added Max Burns, an aide to lefty Assemblywoman Yuh-Line Niou, who is running in a crowded Democratic congressional primary.
Cuomo fanned the flames even further after attempting to justify his position on Tuesday.
“DOJ must disclose the bona fide nature of the August 8 action or else the republicans will use it to Discredit the Jan 6 investigation, which would be a terrible disservice to the good work of the house committee in exposing The Trump administration violations,” Cuomo said in a second Tweet.

Cuomo, since leaving office on August 10th, 2021, has emerged at times in recent months to address public issues on controversial rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court such as abortion and gun rights while leaving his political future open.
“He’s calling it as he sees it. There’s no politics involved,” Cuomo spokesman Richard Azzopardi told The Post about the motives behind the provocative Cuomo comments on the Mar-a-Lago raid.
