For years there’s been chatter that Bharara’s next act would be as a candidate, but no reason to take this scuttlebutt seriously as long as Bharara was at his self-professed dream job.

Now he’s had that yanked away. And when he sees the culture of corruption in New York, he’ll have to grit his teeth and bear it like everyone else. Or not.

Fortunately, there is something Bharara, a Democrat, can do to complete his work and open a great new chapter in his storied career: run for governor next year against Cuomo.

A Bharara win would bring both a literal and symbolic end to a disgraceful era of New York politics. He would also be in one of the most potent positions in the country to oppose the Trump administration’s overreach. And, of course, getting fired by Trump amounts to an endorsement for the Democratic voters here who would decide that race.
