James and the two attorneys she directed to lead a more than four-month investigation — Joon Kim and Anne Clark — announced on Tuesday that Cuomo’s actions constituted a toxic culture of harassment and fear, a culture described in painstaking detail in a 168-page report. The investigation corroborates accusations that had led President Joe Biden to say the governor should step aside if the claims were found to be true. “All of them experienced harassing conduct from the governor,” Kim said Tuesday. “Some suffered through unwanted touching and grabbing of their most intimate body parts. Others suffered through repeated offensive, sexually suggestive, or gender-based comments. A number of them endured both. None of them welcomed it, and all of them found it disturbing, humiliating, uncomfortable and inappropriate. And now we find that it was unlawful sex-based harassment.”

Des Moines, IA – On Wednesday, June 30, Jessica Reznicek was sentenced to eight years in federal prison after she admitted to sabotaging the widely opposed Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) in 2017. Reznicek previously had pleaded guilty to the charge of Conspiracy to Damage an Energy Facility. She is also ordered to pay over 3 million dollars in restitution and to serve three years of supervised release. In July 2017, Reznicek and fellow Catholic Worker activist Ruby Montoya claimed responsibility for sabotage against the pipeline. [...] Leaked documents show that Reznicek and Montoya had been targeted for surveillance by the pipeline security mercenary firm Tigerswan. In August 2017, FBI agents raided the Catholic Worker house in Des Moines, where the two women were living. The pair were indicted by federal prosecutors in September 2019. In a Department of Justice press release lauding the harsh prison sentence, FBI Omaha Special Agent in Charge Eugene Kowel called Reznicek a “domestic terrorist” and said that her sentence “should be a deterrent.” Iowa’s acting U.S. Attorney Richard D. Westphal, a Trump appointee, also referred to Reznicek as a terrorist. U.S. District Court Judge Rebecca Ebinger sided with prosecutors in adding a domestic terrorism sentencing enhancement enabled by the PATRIOT Act. Ebinger, a Republican, was nominated by former President Barack Obama to the bench in 2015. Despite federal authorities use of ‘terrorism’ language to describe Reznicek’s actions, no person was harmed by her actions, nor was she technically convicted of any terrorism-related crime. ‘§ 1366 – Destruction of an energy facility‘ – which encompasses the conspiracy charge Reznicek plead guilty to – is listed in the US Code under Chapter 65 – Malicious Mischief; Terrorism crimes are listed in a separate section of the US Code, Chapter 113B – Terrorism.
