attorney for new york has not ruled out investigating the second floor.ms that the main focus of this is to try to keep the investigations going that were halted by the kind of unceremonious ending of the commission by the governor. so what we have, basically, is a pile of leads about how lawmakers were using their campaign donations, what business they were transacting on the side in their part time jobs as lawyers and consultants and business men. so it's kind of a treasure trove for any prosecutor, and i think what the feds are saying is that if andrew cuomo's commission isn't going to follow up then they will. >> and politically, does this tell us anything in your view as a political reporter about andrew cuomo? he's someone who's rumored as a potential presidential aspirant? >> i covered him for a long time, and i think he's a very shrewd guy. but one thing you do see from time to time is he gets too clever for his own good, he gets in these word salads about who has the right to do what, and he argues the logic of things and gets tied up. that's wha
