Impeachment would be serious distraction from the catastrophic issues facing NY, and a major political blunder. Cuomo, like Trump, won't run again if he knows he will lose. Putting Cuomo in the rearview mirror is the pragmatic and political winner, which probably means that the NY legislature will do the exact opposite.

The impeachment backers say it's about accountability. At every turn of this, the legislature has taken the less aggressive approach. I doubt they will get their way on this.

The term 'accountability' has been rendered nearly meaningless by the GOP. At this point, an impeachment hearing would benefit only the bored media, and dilute same media"s media's already tepid coverage of the Republicans' decimation of democracy, deliberate mismanagement (by TX, FL, SD governors of the pandemic), and virtual dismissal of the existential climate crisis.
