'Stunning NYT Lead: USAttyPreet Bharara just put a wrench in A Cuomo's political plans.'

Based upon a truly stunning, 7,000-word, front page lead in Wednesday’s New York Times, I think it’s safe to say that Wall Street’s popcorn futures market is going through the roof as you read this; and for good reason.

Let me explain. (A little, personal backstory, as it were.)

This story was buried on page 17 of this past Friday’s New York Times: “U.S. Issues Subpoena in Inquiry on Cuomo’s Closing of Moreland Commission.

I'd say Cuomo's gonna have some 'splainin' to do.

People should be aware that they don't HAVE to vote for him. He's trying to hide the fact ( as is the media) that he has a DEM primary opponent: Law professor and activist Zephyr Teachout.

If he manages to $kate through that.... DEMs concerned w. corruption and democracy just MIGHT consider turning Green this November. The GREENS are unusually substantial this year: Long time activist Harry Hawkins and super-smart teacher union activist Brian Jones.
