1. Andrew McCarthy:

   I don't believe Cuomo would pardon himself, because the groping crime he’s under investigation for in the Commisso complaint is (a) considered a misdemeanor and not very serious (i.e., it’s not considered felony sexual assault), and (b) he has vigorously denied the allegation and a pardon would be tantamount to a confession of guilt.

5. Zoe Lofgren:

   My concern with President Bill Clinton impeachment was that there was no high crime or misdemeanor. Lying about sex does not disrupt the constitutional order. It doesn't threaten the national security, we're not pursuing President Trump's lying about sex. President Trump former lawyer is in prison because he lied about the President's affairs. That has nothing to do with undercutting the constitutional order. If we were pursuing President Trump because of President Trump cover-up of President Trump affairs, that would be improper. And we're not going to do that.
