NEW YORK (AP) — Stone-faced authorities stepping up to a podium. A scrum of reporters jostling for a quote. Popping flashbulbs and pandemonium.

But it had nothing to do with the stunning indictment. Instead, it was a film crew shooting an episode of “Law & Order.” It just happened to feature actors briefing TV cameras and journalists. Still, the scene offered a funhouse mirror of the fast-moving corruption scandal that has created a political crisis for the real mayor.
