Other Albany leaders did not comply with Mr. Paterson’s request. State Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith, D-Queens, said he has “total confidence” in Richard Emery, Mr. Smith’s appointee to the commission. State Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb, R-Canandaigua, said the Assembly Republican’s appointee to the commission, John T. Mitchell, has “outstanding legal credentials and a commitment to ethics and integrity” and should remain on the panel.

After an appearance yesterday in Manhattan, Mr. Paterson said he was “very surprised” that the commissioners were not stepping aside voluntarily.

“I frankly was surprised and shocked that I am getting this reaction,” Mr. Paterson told reporters.

Mr. Paterson equated his call for the commissioners’ resignations to the letters of resignation he required all commissioners and other agency heads to give him when he succeeded Mr. Spitzer in 2008. Mr. Paterson accepted only a handful of the letters then and said yesterday that some commission members could “quite validly be reappointed.”

Mr. Paterson said he will study the structure of the board and propose changes if he concludes it contributed to the misconduct that Mr. Fisch reported on Wednesday.

Mr. Fisch’s report was critical of conversations that Loretta E. Lynch, until Wednesday the acting chairwoman of the commission, had with the inspector general in the weeks leading up to the release of the report.

Ms. Lynch made “strained and specious” attacks on Mr. Constantine and repeatedly called into question his veracity as a witness, according to the report. She also attempted to “distance” Mr. Teitelbaum as the source of the leaked information despite the evidence gathered to the contrary, the report said.

Ms. Lynch, a partner at Hogan & Hartson, has been recommended as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York by U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (NYLJ, May 6). Ms. Lynch held the post from 1999 to 2001.

Mr. Paterson said yesterday he did not believe Ms. Lynch’s work on the public integrity commission should affect her candidacy for the Eastern District post, calling her an “outstanding prosecutor who I think would serve well.”

Neither Mr. Schumer’s office nor Ms. Lynch returned calls seeking comment yesterday.

Also yesterday, the former chairman of the commission, John D. Feerick, released a statement about Mr. Fisch’s report. Mr. Feerick was said by the inspector general to have been aware of evidence of possibly improper conduct by Mr. Teitelbaum but did not question the executive director strenuously or push for a formal commission investigation before Mr. Feerick resigned from the commission in January.

“I did my work with the commission and as its chair to the best of my ability and with honesty and integrity,” Mr. Feerick said. “I am proud of the work done by the commission and was privileged to serve with a distinguished group of commissioners, consisting of prominent public servants, Republicans and Democrats, among them former United States’ attorneys and judges, all of whom had volunteered their time at great personal sacrifice.”
