From NRO’s Campaign Spot:
Why Would We Suspect Democrats of Pressuring an Attorney General to Back Off?
A revealing question, and a reassuring answer (if it’s the truth), asked by BusinessWeek to New York attorney general Andrew Cuomo:
Q. There are stories saying the pay-to-play scandal may be expanding beyond New York State, and Democrats elsewhere may be involved. Are you feeling any heat from within the Democratic Party to back off?
Cuomo: No. To be clear . . . no one is above the law.
Of course, if Cuomo was feeling heat from Democrats to back off, it’s not clear he would tell BusinessWeek about it.
Now, if Cuomo actually goes forward fearlessly against all Democrats involved, that would be great. It would also be a first: the rule, for Democrats, is that scandals involving Democrats are to be ignored, covered up or as limited as possible. Or do you think that Blagojevich is the only corrupt Democrat in Illinois?
