I've always been puzzled by the late nite call from Christie to Cuomo... and the NY Gov's apparent skittishness about disclosing the content therein.
Did Gov. Cuomo behave appropriately? We just *may* find out.
>>>>It hasnt been a great few weeks for New York governor Andrew Cuomo. He got in a public spat with U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara for closing down an anti-corruption commission, his budget was roundly criticized by many in his own party, and a new poll shows him losing serious ground to his Republican opponent if he gets a challenge on the left.
But another unwelcome development for the governor flew mostly under the radar, and has national implications. While the George Washington bridge scandal focused exclusively on the role of New Jersey governor Chris Christie, the bridge is controlled by a joint New York-New Jersey bi-state authority and last week Cuomos hand-picked Executive Director of the Port Authority, Patrick Foye, was issued a subpoena by the New Jersey legislative committee investigating the flap.
Investigators believe there are omissions in the carefully crafted timeline put forth by the Cuomo Administration about what they knew about the lane closures, and how they responded. Lots of questions need to be asked to fill in the blanks, the committees Co-Chair John Wisniewski told Salon.
In a worst-case scenario, Cuomos version of events could come under great scrutiny and cause a number of new political and legal headaches. In a best-case scenario, he can no longer simply wave off questions about the issue as merely a New Jersey problem and his offices communications may now be exposed to investigators.>>>>>

"A) Cuomo knows more about the scandal than he is letting on
B) He's hiding when he learned about the closures and what he did after he learned about them"
This needs to come out.. Cuomo has turned out to be a disappointment to many.

It could only be a resplendent joy to Cuomo that Christie was in a mess of trouble. Telling the world out loud would be rude...yet it did get out. It out SO FAST.
I don't think Cuomo wants to be known as a source. And I am in no way a Cuomo adorer although his father....there was a boss made by the angels.
