Gov. Cuomo
As with Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and many another public figure, the things NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo was most attacked for were not the worst things that he did.
Cuomo probably deserved to be impeached for corruption. I don’t know whether the sex scandal was grounds for impeachment. Of course impeachment on charges of corruption might have led to disclosures that would have embarrassed a whole lot of people.
By resigning, he avoids impeachment and preserves the option of a political comeback.
