Gov. Cuomo is conducting an early spring cleaning of Albany's e-mails ‐ all of them, right down to cyber bedrock.But is this a big deal? If you can't trust Uncle Andrew, who can you trust?
Baracky's IRS? DOJ, EPA?
Never mind that US Attorney Preet Bharara ‐ fresh from taking down Sheldon Silver ‐ seems to be breathing right down the gubernatorial neck. "Stay tuned," the prosecutor warned ‐ with both eyes fixed firmly on Andrew.
Never mind that Cuomo's former chief of staff, Larry Schwartz, who left as the noose was tightening around Silver's neck, now can't find a job ‐ reportedly because of Bharara's continuing probe.
Never mind that state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman just opened an inquiry into Cuomo's casino-siting commission.
Oops
And never mind that an administration that has cut as many ethical corners as this one ‐ especially regarding campaign-finance regulations and related transgressions ‐ long ago forfeited all presumption to the public's trust.
What's important is that Cuomo's cyber scrubbers soon will have vaporized all e-mail generated by state government that's more than three months old ‐ eradicating evidence of, well, who knows what.
New Yorkers will never know.
blissfully unaware
Those who trusted Andrew Cuomo no longer have reason to. Those who didn't have had their worst suspicions confirmed.
Trust Cuomo? What fool does that?
