Preet Bharara says he’s not done — and Cuomo might be next

Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara watched with smug satisfaction Thursday as a judge slapped the second of Albany’s “three men in a room” with prison time.

But the sure-shot lawman made it clear that Gov. Andrew Cuomo remains on his mind — taking time from his victory lap to fire a salvo straight toward the state’s chief executive.

“In the span of just 16 months, we have seen the arrest, prosecution, conviction and sentencing of both leaders of the New York State Legislature,” Bharara said in a statement minutes after former Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos was given five years in prison.

“These cases show — and history teaches — that the most effective corruption investigations are those that are truly independent and not in danger of either interference or premature shutdown,” Bharara added — a clear jab at Cuomo.

Cuomo created a Moreland Commission panel in 2013 to fight against corruption in state politics, but abruptly shut it down less than a year later amid pressure from lawmakers.

Bharara launched a probe into the panel’s closure but said earlier this year that there was “insufficient evidence” to prove the Cuomo administration had committed any federal crime.

But with his statement Thursday, Bharara made it clear that the battle against corruption in Albany continues.

The term “three men in a room’’ refers to the Assembly and Senate leaders and governor, who have been notorious for making all the state’s major decisions in secrecy.

“The US attorney has been following these trials very closely and has made it clear that there’s more and stay tuned,” an Albany source said Thursday.

“The only thing that is truly bipartisan in Albany right now is the corruption.”

Bharara sat in the back of the courtroom as Manhattan federal Judge Kimba Wood sentenced Skelos.

Bharara kept his head down as Skelos’s wife, Gail, sneered, “You can go to hell,” as she walked past him, Politico reported.
