Today Gunnar got out of bed and realized he has to stage a Pershing Square
type of success out of the Middle East:

AG James, once human rights start paying for themselves, everything
changes. What was happening in Chelsa during this investigation is being
hid from New Yorkers just like the Steele Dossier but WORSE.

Gunnar Donald Arthur Peter Larson must keep his integrity Mr. Mayor Adams.
And my situation is far more impactful than sneaking into first class...

AG James, can you please confirm that the current Superintendent is not up
to worse to the four highlights here?

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We, the investigators appointed to conduct an investigation into
allegations of sexual
harassment by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, conclude that the Governor engaged
in conduct constituting sexual harassment under federal and New York State
law. Specifically, we find that the Governor sexually harassed a number of
current and former New York State employees by, among other things,
engaging in unwelcome and nonconsensual touching, as well as making
numerous offensive comments of a suggestive and sexual nature that created
a hostile work environment for women. Our investigation revealed that the
Governor’s sexually harassing behavior was not limited to members of his
own staff, but extended to other State employees, including a State Trooper
on his protective detail and members of the public. We also conclude that
the Executive Chamber’s culture—one filled with fear and intimidation,
while at the same time normalizing the Governor’s frequent flirtations and
gender-based comments—contributed to the conditions that allowed the sexual
harassment to occur and persist. That culture also influenced the improper
and inadequate ways in which the Executive Chamber has responded to
allegations of harassment.1

Executive Assistant #1’s Hesitation to Report Governor Cuomo’s Conduct

Executive Assistant #1 repeatedly testified that she felt she had to
tolerate the Governor’s physical advances and suggestive comments because
she feared the repercussions if she did
not.183 She did not feel she could tell anyone, including her colleagues
and her direct supervisors.184 In addition, the Governor had specifically
told her—with respect to the selfie they took together—that she was not to
share it or tell anyone about it other than Ms. McGrath.185 Executive
Assistant #1 testified that she needed the income (including the
overtime pay received from working on weekends), particularly as she was
going through a divorce and was focused on not risking losing her job.186

Executive Assistant #1’s hesitance to report the Governor’s conduct was
also informed
by her observation of the Executive Chamber’s reactions to other women’s
allegations against the Governor. In mid-to-late December 2020, Executive
Assistant #1 personally witnessed what she felt were the Executive
Chamber’s efforts to discredit the allegations of Ms. Boylan against
the Governor, including by repeatedly describing Ms. Boylan as “crazy” and
by trying to get Ms. Boylan’s personnel files to the press.187

Executive Assistant #1 recalled that Ms. DeRosa, Richard Azzopardi (the
Senior Deputy Communications Director and Senior Advisor to the Governor at
the time), and at times Linda Lacewell (the Superintendent of the
Department of
Financial Services) would be in Ms. DeRosa’s office during that period.188
They described Ms. Boylan as crazy and having a political agenda, and talk
about shutting down Ms. Boylan’s allegations quickly.189

On or around December 13, 2020,190 while Executive Assistant #1 was
assisting the Governor at the Capitol, she observed that Mr. Azzopardi was
asked to retrieve a
box from Beth Garvey, Senior Counsel and Senior Advisor to the Governor at
the time, which Executive Assistant #1 helped carry from the Counsel’s
Office to the Front Office in the Capitol.191 From the context of the
discussions happening around that time, Executive Assistant #1 understood
that the box contained documents relating to Ms. Boylan.192
