NEW on my @LawCrimeNews podcast "Objections":

Albany @TimesUnion editor @CaseySeiler joined me to talk Cuomo two days before his paper called for the governor to resign.

Insight into why his hometown paper that endorsed him 3x made that call.

I first met @CaseySeiler covering the "Albany on Trial" cases, including that of the governor's former right-hand man Joseph Percoco.

There's a through line between that case and the nursing home and the sexual harassment scandals: how Cuomo tried to handle the investigations.

Before the Percoco case, Cuomo shut down the Moreland Commission, and the Times Union reported how a sexual harassment complaint against Cuomo went to his special counsel.

Casey identifies it as Cuomo's need for control as his "Shakespearean flaw."

Whether you are a Cuomo supporter or sharp critic, how the systems of accountability work in New York is a story that will outlast his governorship.

It's one about the independence of probes touching the powerful, the integrity public health info, and the teeth on ethics rules.

Few have @CaseySeiler's encyclopedic knowledge about that story, the institutionally memory of his Albany Times Union, or can illustrate how power brokers operate in the Empire State like they can.

His insights leave us all better informed.
