A situation Cuomo can’t control anymore

The New York Times A-1 blockbuster that Andrew Cuomo’s team was dreading finally landed on Wednesday, and it wasn’t pretty. It painted a picture of the governor’s dealings—including allegations his administration quashed an anti-corruption panel’s subpoenas to his allies—that even his supporters privately admit doesn’t look so hot.

And with a primary and general re-election campaign and an investigation by the U.S. attorney all looming, this saga has only just begun.

The question now is: How will all this play out for the governor, in terms of both the politics and the law?

On the former, the first place to look is the governor’s response. You can always get a sense of how fearful of a breaking story a politician is by his public schedule immediately afterward.
