US Attorney: There’s “corruption” in the executive branch in New York

While not getting into too many specifics yet, Bharara showed up on the Sunday cable news lineup to declare that, despite his best efforts to date, there’s still a stench of corruption in both Albany and New York City. And as usual, the fish rots from the head down.

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said “that there’s corruption, we believe, in the executive branches” in New York as he continues to probe state and New York City governments.

Bharara, speaking Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” indicated his investigations into potential corruption in New York City government and the Cuomo administration are continuing…

“I don’t think I directed any ‘stay tuned’ message to those two individuals in particular,” Bharara told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Cuomo and de Blasio.

“But what I have said is, ‘We have found that corruption is rife in a lot of institutions in New York and throughout New York.’ That’s true in the Legislature. It’s also the case that there’s corruption, we believe, in the executive branches as well, and we’ll ferret it out wherever we find it.”

Since they seem to be two peas in a pod on this score, it’s understandable if Cuomo is leaning in with de Blasio for the common defense and sticking up for him right? The host on This Week asked the Governor if he thought Bill was in any trouble on the ethics and corruption front.

Asked if de Blasio should be worried, Cuomo responded: “You’d have to ask Mayor de Blasio.” Looks like that old saying about honor among thieves may wind up having some truth to it. When the rats are fleeing the sinking ship, they don’t often stop to toss a life preserver to the slow ones.

Of course. Corruption is expected as a virtue in the Democratic culture.
