Preet backs Nixon on dirty-pol panel

ALBANY — Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara on Wednesday endorsed Cynthia Nixon’s plan to create a new anti-corruption panel if she’s elected governor.

Bharara, who was critical of Gov. Cuomo’s move in 2013 to shut down a similar panel — known as the Moreland Commission — signaled his approval of Nixon’s plan in a tweet that also took a dig at Cuomo.

“The rare sequel guaranteed to be better than the original,” he wrote. “The first Moreland Commission never should have been disbanded and every New Yorker should support a strong anti-corruption measure like this.”

Nixon, who is challenging Cuomo for the Democratic nomination, tweeted back, “Thanks for your support.”
