US Attorney Preet Bharara should tell voters before Election Day whether Gov. Cuomo or his aides committed a crime by interfering in a state panel’s probe of Albany corruption, Republican Rob Astorino said Friday.
“The last thing that should happen is the voters don’t know [before Election Day],” Astorino said on the John Gambling radio show.
“Let’s just say Cuomo gets re-elected and then he’s indicted,” said Astorino, who is running against Cuomo. “How fair is that?”
Bharara’s office launched a probe in April into the governor’s decision to disband his Moreland Commission panel six months before its due date as part of a deal with state lawmakers.
The Cuomo campaign accused Astorino of throwing stones from a glass house — saying Bharara himself has accused the Westchester County executive of making “numerous false and misleading statements.”
“Between being forced to sit for a Justice Department deposition after making false and misleading statements to being the defendant in a racketeering lawsuit . . . there isn’t enough time . . . to resolve all of the investigations into Rob Astorino,” said Cuomo spokesman Matt Wing.
