Democrats in the state Assembly are watching what they say behind closed doors after discovering a mole in their ranks.

Theyve even dubbed him, or her, Cuomole.

The governor himself spilled the secret by sending a text to Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie asking, Why are you bad-mouthing me? during a private meeting Wednesday about the delayed state budget.

Since the meeting was still under way, Heastie and his colleagues suspected that Cuomo had an informant in the room.

Lawmakers quickly started floating possible suspects. One of them was Brooklyn Assemblyman Walter Mosley.

Im not the mole, Mosley told a reporter. Who said that? Id like to know who they are.

Manhattan Assemblyman Brian Kavanagh was also mentioned and denied the baseless smear.

One legislator said he is unnerved by the spy saga.

It has a sort of chilling effect on our ability to freely and confidentially discuss those issues and needs that are most important to us as a majority, said Assemblyman Matt Titone (D-SI).

Some legislators blamed the governor as much as the mole.

The governor ought to respect the separation of powers and the confidentiality of the meetings that take place between the members of the majority of party in one of the houses of the Legislature. Its really an embarrassment that he would participate in something like that, said Assemblyman Kevin Cahill (D-Kingston).

Heastie on Friday dismissed spygate as irrelevant.
