Cuomo's conduct released Tuesday by Attorney General Letitia James is a disturbing — and revealing — read. Though it stopped short of a criminal referral, it concluded Cuomo (D) sexually harassed multiple women and created a hostile workplace in violation of state and federal law.  The report is filled with examples of shameless behavior and the widespread belief that there would be no accountability, as Ruth Marcus documents. "Of all the aspects of the devastating report on Cuomo's conduct," Marcus writes, "this theme — of perceived and probably rational helplessness in the face of power — is the most heartbreaking. It is threaded throughout the 165-page report: the repeated violations of personal privacy and physical space, the burning humiliation of being demeaned as a professional, the conviction that speaking out would invite retaliation." But the report also offers state legislators a "road map for impeachment," the Editorial Board explains. "If there was any doubt about Mr. Cuomo's fitness to continue in office, it was removed with the details of his treatment of women and the toxic culture of the governor's executive chamber that enabled the harassment to occur."
