Astorino Calls For Special Prosecutor In Moreland Case

Nick Reisman

A special prosecutor should be appointed to investigate Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s involvement in the Moreland Commission to Investigate Public Corruption, GOP gubernatorial hopeful Rob Astorino said in a radio interview this morning.

Astorino told Fred Dicker on his Talk-1300 radio show the special prosecutor should be appointed by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and act on a parallel track to the work being done by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, whose office assumed control of records generated by the now shuttered commission.

“This is beyond outrageous,” Astorino said. “Obviously, it’s criminal.”
