The lesson from @andrewcuomo’s and @ChrisCuomo’s rapid downfalls is not to abuse your power. Andrew from the Governor’s office and Chris from his seat at CNN, targeted whomever they wanted and however they wanted with few-to-none in politics or in national/NY media pushing back.
Sure, it worked well for them for a long while but the moment the sharks did breakthrough the fense everyone else scattered. No one was there to defend them because their professional relationships were rooted in fear (from Andrew) or need for TV time (from Chris).
I am not predicting the future for @andrewcuomo or @ChrisCuomo; I am talking how they fell from their seats of power. It reminds me of @PreetBharara. He was the tough charging US Attorney of SDNY. Instead if using his powerful seat only to go after real crimes, he went where he
could create news. Nobody told him to his face that he is a ruthless authoritarian but that’s what people in NY politics, policy and media thought if him; including the reporters who gave him unchecked coverage because they wanted his staff to tip them off on stories.
Trump fired @PreetBharara in early 2017, and where is he now? Doing podcasts and parked at an University. Again, I am not predicting his future and don’t knock a clown when he is down. This isn’t about knocking him, but almost a year into the Biden Admin, and Bharara hasn’t been
given any meaningful seat at Justice or in the Courts. Can it change? Sure, but the fact is he was not atop of the list for Biden’s first 11 months in office. Nobody sane wants a clown drunk on power back in a powerful position. Thank you for reading.
