The New York Republican Party has launched an ad calling Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Gov. Andrew Cuomo “criminals posing as public servants.”
The ad criticizes the Democrats for shutting down the Moreland Commission which they established last year to investigate state government agencies and departments.
After the commission began looking into a media-buying firm hired to purchase airtime for Cuomo’s campaign, Cuomo and Schneiderman disbanded the commission, the New York Times reports.
Republican AG candidate John Cahill’s campaign has been heavily focused on the controversy.
In a press release, which accompanied the release of the ad, GOP chairman Ed Cox alleges:
Eric Schneiderman:
Squashed Moreland subpoenas to donors;
Aided and abetted the sexual harassment of young women in the legislature;
Fought and won the parole of a convicted rapist;
Lied about freedom of information requests regarding email exchanges between himself and his political consultant;
Solicited campaign contributions from individuals under investigation;
Broke the law leaking sensitive information to the press regarding an arrest;
And was even involved in a hit and run.
