You'd have to actually read the report to discover this, but after 8 months of investigating and $5 million in public funds, NY Assembly investigators conspicuously chose NOT to opine on the veracity of the Cuomo "victims" who prompted the whole investigation in the first place! 
This whole affair was launched due to the claims of Lindsey Boylan and Charlotte Bennett, who admit to having coordinated with one another to launch a PR offensive. Both were highly suspect, but Bennett in particular was later revealed to have previously fabricated allegations
Boylan and Bennett -- again, the very people who prompted this entire investigation in the first place -- were subsequently proclaimed "credible" by the AG Letitia James last August. Now the Assembly investigators omit any judgment as to their credibility!
Why this huge, glaring omission? Perhaps if the Assembly investigators had found Boylan and Bennett not credible, that finding would have drastically changed the tenor of their report, and cast doubt on both the investigation itself and AG James? And so they omitted the finding?
Just seems that if you launch an investigation prompted by two individuals, then spend 8 months investigating, and then conspicuously omit any judgment on the credibility of the accusations leveled by those two individuals... that is a very odd investigation
As far as the other stuff mentioned in the report, the COVID book and whatnot, there may well have been improprieties. That hasn't been my focus. Because that was not the real reason this investigation was launched, and not the reason that the NYS Government was upended this year
Someone's really going to have to explain how it doesn't "diminish the allegations" of the other purported victims -- namely the two key individuals heralded by the media and AG as heroes -- for Assembly investigators to have deliberately omitted any judgment on their credibility
