Is it too early to talk about qualified candidates for the 2022 New York State Governor's election?
Mr. Watson seems to have the prerequisite leadership skills, but it might be too long of a commute.

The number of women suing NFL star Deshaun Watson for alleged sexual assault grows to seven
Updated 8:52 PM ET, Fri March 19, 2021
Deshaun Watson has been with the Houston Texans for four seasons.
(CNN)Four new lawsuits have been filed against Houston Texans star quarterback Deshaun Watson alleging sexual assault.
The additional claims come from four women who say he contacted them for services like massage therapy.
That brings the total of lawsuits against the Pro Bowl quarterback to seven. They were filed in Harris County, Texas, this week by attorney Tony Buzbee, who is representing the seven women.
After the first suit was filed on Tuesday, Watson denied those allegations in a statement posted to Twitter.
Watson's attorney, Rusty Hardin, said Friday after the subsequent six lawsuits were filed that he is extremely proud to represent Watson and "wholly stand behind him against what we believe are meritless allegations."
"However, we will wait to comment in detail until we've completed our review of the numerous, evolving allegations from Mr. Buzbee," Hardin said. "We will respond next week and ask you to keep an open mind until we do so."
Watson's agent, David Mulugheta, posted a tweet on Friday saying, "Sexual assault is real. Victims should be heard, offenders prosecuted." Mulugheta then warned of the existence of false allegations, a phenomenon that studies show is very rare.
NFL star Deshaun Watson facing lawsuits for alleged sexual assaults
The latest four lawsuits allege Watson "assaulted and harassed" the women. The four new lawsuits, filed Thursday, accuse Watson of assault and harassment, while two say that he tried to kiss them.
One of the lawsuits alleges Watson sexually assaulted the plaintiff on multiple occasions.
CNN contacted the Houston Police Department and asked whether the agency is investigating the claims but was received a "no comment."
Houston police later posted a statement on Twitter that said no incident reports have been filed in its jurisdiction and the department "is unaware of any contact between HPD and Houston attorney Tony Buzbee regarding the allegations contained in his recently filed lawsuits."
The Harris County Sheriff's Office told CNN on Thursday it had not opened any investigations into Watson, according to Senior Deputy Thomas M. Gilliland.
During a news conference, Buzbee said he has been formally contacted by the Houston Police Department. "It is our intention for the clients that are willing to do so, to put together a package and to submit it to the Houston Police Department of the information that we have," Buzbee said.
The Houston Texans issued a statement Thursday that said the NFL "informed us today that they will conduct an investigation into the allegations made in the civil lawsuits filed against Deshaun Watson."
"We continue to take this and all matters involving anyone within the Houston Texans organization seriously," the statement said. "We do not anticipate making any additional statements until the NFL's investigation concludes."
When asked if the league had opened an investigation, NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said, "The matter is under review of the personal conduct policy."
Watson has played four seasons in Houston and has been selected for three Pro Bowls. According to the Spotrac website, he signed a four-year, $156 million contract in 2020.

These days, they're accusing people of sexual assault and going after those that knew about it but covered it up too.

Federal probe into nursing home COVID-19 death coverup circles closer to Cuomo
https://nypost.com/2021/03/19/feder...ome-covid-death-coverup-gets-closer-to-cuomo/
The FBI and Brooklyn federal prosecutors are circling closer to Gov. Andrew Cuomo as they probe if he and his administration provided false data to minimize nursing home resident deaths from COVID-19, sources told The Post Friday night.
Investigators have contacted lawyers for Cuomo’s aides, interviewed senior state Health Department officials and subpoenaed the governor’s office for documents relating to the alleged data coverup, the sources said.
The New York Times first reported the probe earlier Friday, citing four unnamed sources with knowledge of the investigation.
Health officials are being grilled about nursing home-related COVID-19 case and death data the state submitted last year to the Justice Department, sources told The Post.
The probe, which is being overseen by the Eastern District of New York, opened with interviews of senior members of Cuomo’s coronavirus task force but now is looking at Cuomo and his most senior aides as well.
The state Health Department’s July report to the Justice Department had listed only the nursing home residents who died from the virus while still in their nursing home beds — minimizing the death toll by excluding those who died after being taken to hospitals.
His administration waited eight more months before coughing up the true totals; as The Post exclusively reported last month, top Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa was caught on tape admitting the book-cooking to prevent then-president Donald Trump “turn[ing] this into a giant political football.”

New York lawmaker: Gov. Cuomo asked 'me to lie and cover everything up' but I wouldn't do it
Democratic Assemblyman Ron Kim said Cuomo asked him to lie about nursing home deaths in New York
https://www.theblaze.com/news/new-york-lawmaker-cuomo-asked-me-to-lie
New York Democratic Assemblyman Ron Kim on Monday repeated his calls for Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to be removed from office, accusing the governor of asking him to "lie and cover everything up" regarding the COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes.
During an interview on Fox News' "Fox & Friends," Kim said he felt obligated to challenge the governor after Cuomo allegedly threatened to "destroy" him for speaking out about how the Cuomo administration covered up nursing home deaths.
"It wasn't the bullying," Kim told Fox News. "The moment he crossed that line and ordered me to issue a statement that covered up what his top aide's admission of obstructing justice, that's what really motivated and pushed me to come out in public and push back."
In February, the New York Post reported that top Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa apologized to Democratic lawmakers for hiding data on COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes to shield Gov. Cuomo from political fallout for his executive order placing positive COVID-19 patients in those homes. Assemblyman Kim, whose uncle died in a nursing home in April after suffering the coronavirus symptoms, became one of Cuomo's fiercest critics.
"I've fought along with [Fox News'] Janice Dean and others for 10 months to give these families the voice that they lacked and then in one second the governor wanted me to lie and cover everything up to protect him. And I wasn't going to have that," Kim said.
"In a private meeting [DeRosa] admitted that there was a cover-up and she implicated all of us, not just the members but the institutions, the Senate and the Assembly, and the moment she did that it no longer became a private conversation," he added. "The public had right to know and we have a duty to report to the public that this is what's going on with the executive and we need to check the governor and we need to do our jobs to get to the truth."
Cuomo has denied the allegation that he threatened Kim over the phone and accused the lawmaker of being a liar.
Kim pointed out that Cuomo is, in fact, the one who has been caught in a lie. The New York Times recently reported leaked audio audio of a 2018 phone conversation Cuomo had with Bill Lipton, the leader of the Working Families Party in New York. On the phone call, Cuomo castigated Lipton for the party's messaging that Cuomo is "better than a Republican," saying, "if you ever say, 'Well he's better than a Republican' again then I'm going to say, 'You're better than a child rapist' — how about that."
Text of the conversation had been previously reported in February. At the time, Cuomo's office said the report was not true.
"First they denied it, they lied" and claimed he never said that, Kim said. "And then when they get caught red-handed they punt and they deflect and come up with something else. The point is they lie, they deflect, and they cover up. And the public has had enough.
"We've had enough of his abusive behaviors, abuse of power, and he needs to be removed so we can get back to protecting the people of New York."

Looks like Governor Mengele was looking out for his family while he was running the deaths camps for the elderly.

Cuomo and Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker to conduct prioritized coronavirus testing on the governor's relatives as well as influential people with ties to the administration, according to three people with direct knowledge of the matter.
Members of Cuomo's family including his brother, his mother and at least one of his sisters were also tested by top health department officials — some several times, the sources said.
