His rationale pretty much amounted to this ... while he feels he hasn't gotten a fair shake from the harassment probe, he acknowledges that the controversy that would follow if he doesn't resign would be overwhelming, and turn NY into a circus of sorts.

That said, he made sure to note that he did screw up by being too familiar with women he's worked with ... but still feels the political climate has wrongly forced his ousting.
