SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- As Gov. Andrew Cuomo was on the cusp of awarding $2 billion in economic development money in Albany this morning, a top U.S. prosecutor made it clear that he was watching.
It was a chilling first tweet from the prosecutor who is looking into state contracts awarded in Cuomo's key Upstate project -- the Buffalo Billion.
Bharara is the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. He's been targeting political corruption in Albany for more than a year.
Former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was convicted by a federal jury last week. Former Senate leader, Dean Skelos, is, at this moment, awaiting a jury to decide his fate.
Those were two of the three men in a closed-door room who traditionally decided the bulk of state policy and spending. Cuomo, as governor, is the third. Cuomo has not been publicly accused of any wrongdoing by Bharara.
Instead, the prosecutor keeps leaving these "stay tuned" bread crumbs.
Bharara is also looking into Cuomo's disbanding of the Moreland Commission, a panel the governor created to ferret out political corruption.

Seems like everything is for sale in Albany.
I guess I’m a little dense. His “chilling” tweet sounds a lot of a sort of “Hello World” that a brand new user might send when they start to learn this “new twitter thing”.
I don’t deny that there might be more to it, and that he might be watching Cuomo. But to make that assertion requires at least some interpretation of a tweet which doesn’t actually say anything.
(In my most evil darkest laugh) he, he, he, I hope this guy wipes up the Corrupt New York slims like the Clinton Crime family and others.....
GO Preet Bharara!!!
“GO PREET, GO GET CUOMO! CLEAN OUT ALBANY, ONCE AND FOR ALL! “
If they really cleaned out Albany, the State would have to hold elections immediately, because there would be too few left there to run things! And the really sad thing is that New York State is by no means alone, an of course then there’s Washington. Before Trump starts prosecuting the Obamabots, he needs to start a prison construction program, or go purchase a desert island. Actually, I like the island idea, just throw in some food and guns, and sail away!
Everything is “Chilling” these days. Its just one weird trick to internet journalism these days.
And yes, re the first part of your post...you're 100% correct; sadly.
This beedy eyed arrogant bastard needs a cell next to his friend shelly
A target rich environment.
One of the greatest & laugh out loud movies EVER!!!!!! Never get tired of it!
Behold the Ominous Tweet!
A Preet tweet?
I sure hope this prosecutor has a good security detail. Would not be good to be on the receiving end of the wrath of Cuomo and his buds.
Thats what i got out of it as well. It was maybe delivered a little like Vincent Price may have done it but aside from that its difficult for me to draw any conclusions from what he said.
Go Preet GO!!!
Botany Bay!! I’m for the deserted isle approach WITHOUT giving them food and weapons.
