Some members of his inner circle may try to claim, against all evidence, they opposed the worst instincts of their leader. But they deserve his fate.

Policy vision, ambition, and hustle would only get you so far. Young, hungry staffers are expendable, as are those who come from good schools and answer emails in a timely fashion.
At every turn, DeRosa and her colleagues enabled Cuomo’s predation. “Over the course of our investigation, most witnesses not in the Governor’s inner circle provided a consistent narrative as to the office culture of the Executive Chamber, describing it as ‘toxic’ and full of bullying-type behavior, where unflinching loyalty to the Governor and his senior staff was highly valued,” the report read.
DeRosa once told a state senator, Alessandra Biaggi, that she was a “bad person” and “full of shit.” Before DeRosa filled the role as Cuomo’s enforcer, there was Joe Percoco, once regarded by Cuomo as someone akin to a brother. Percoco would end up in prison, quarterbacking an egregious corruption scheme out of Cuomo’s government. Prosecutors could never implicate Cuomo himself.
