An interesting twist in this story – the Democrat A.G. is now trying to drag former Republican Govenor George Pataki into this mess. If there’s nothing there – Andrew Cuomo should get the partisan hack of the decade award trying to smear Republicans with the Spitzer mess. From the Daily News:
Attorney General Andrew Cuomo Wednesday demanded to know why crucial e-mails and computer records belonging to a key figure in his state police probe were erased.
Cuomo released a bombshell letter to New York Power Authority head Roger Kelley asking for information on how and why material was scrubbed from the BlackBerry and computer of NYPA Inspector General Daniel Wiese.
At the same time, Wiese, a retired state police colonel with close ties to former Govs. George Pataki and Eliot Spitzer, was placed on nonpaid leave in what was seen as a step toward dismissal from his $181,700 a year job.
He had been on paid leave since April 4.
