He didnt book rooms at President-elect Donald Trumps spectacular hotel in the nations capital just three blocks east of the White House. And he didnt seek accommodations at a Motel 6 either. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was so eager to celebrateHillary Clintons presidential inauguration, he booked 200 hotel rooms in D.C. for family, friends and supporters of his own possible future bid for the presidency, reports New York Post columnist Richard Johnson. Mr. Cuomo snagged this big reservation at the iconic Madison Hotel, three blocks north of the White House. Alas, his plans went awry for obvious reasons. What now? Following Mr. Trumps win last month, a member of the governors staff called Ed Cox, chairman of New Yorks Republican Party, to offer him the vast block of rooms in the Madison. Ironically enough, it all worked out for the GOP.

DANG.
Cuomo should be in the same cell block as the Hildebeast...
The articld had NO info about the details of the “sell”.
That would be a “sell” block.
It will be easier to work with Cuomo than most other dems
Is scalping hotel room reservations legal?
Whose money was he going to use to pay for these rooms?
No one needs 200 hotel rooms to Inaugurate a Clinton!
I disagree. I live in upstate NY. He is another commie-mafia type with 2020 aspirations.
Hope Trump did the deal so the rooms were taken for pennies on the dollar like Hillary’s fireworks!
Legal is such a vague term has of late
Re: Edward F. Cox
He is the son-in-law of President Richard M. Nixon and First Lady Pat Nixon. Cox is a lawyer in the Manhattan law firm of Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP. (and currently the chairman of the New York Republican State Committee)
In 1971, Cox married Tricia Nixon Cox, daughter of then-President Nixon, in a White House Rose Garden ceremony. Tricia and Edward have a son, Christopher N. Cox. They currently reside in Long Island, New York.

Like that rat Pack guy said;
“Just what makes that little old ant
Think he’ll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can’t
Move a rubber tree plant
But he’s got high hopes, he’s got high hopes
He’s got high apple pie, in the sky hopes”
I’d love to know where the money comes from to book 200 rooms in D.C. for the inauguration.
Go big or go home... well, Cuomo did both!
“Homeless”
...there’s no beating that excellent point! Of course, the media will be sure to mentio...never mind.
Did Trump offer to buy them at a nickel on the dollar?
