Governor Cuomo’s top aide privately apologized to Democratic lawmakers for withholding the state’s nursing-home death toll from COVID-19 — telling them “we froze” out of fear the true numbers would “be used against us” by federal prosecutors, The Post has learned.
The stunning admission of a cover-up was made by Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa during a video conference call with state Democratic leaders in which she said the Cuomo administration had rebuffed a legislative request for the tally in August because “right around the same time, [then-President Donald Trump] turns this into a giant political football,” according to an audio recording of the two-hour-plus meeting.
“He starts tweeting that we killed everyone in nursing homes,” DeRosa said. “He starts going after [New Jersey Gov. Phil] Murphy, starts going after [California Gov. Gavin] Newsom, starts going after [Michigan Gov.] Gretchen Whitmer.”
Well, he wasn’t wrong.
I see that the assemblymen’s only concern was that it almost cost their jobs.
Not one was willing to call Andy a murderer. Much less a Jew-baiting Roman priest-fluffing chink-loving traitor.
“…telling them “we froze” out of fear the true numbers would “be used against us” by federal prosecutors…”
How refreshing to hear honesty from a Democrat.
The system will protect them though, it has so far.
Sometimes, the ones that come off of the assembly line have defects.
I’m getting old so sometimes the old brain matter takes a bit of time processing the many avenues of information.
Related, on Pelosi computer missing and the Time magazine story source.
I remember reading somewhere one of Trump lawyers commented that the good guys had it.
Just that information would be what I would expect to see on Pelosi’s computer and who is the source of that story to confirm.
This would be great intelligence for President Trump to allow Biden to have this Presidency temporarily.
They are on record as having taken active sick patients from hospitals and putting them in long term care homes, at least Cuomo is.
Cuomo, Whitmer, Murphy and Newsome did so as well. The tranny freak of Pennsylvania’s health department got his mother transferred out of her assisted living digs in a hurry. He put her into her own apartment.
We call it assisted dying up here in Justin’s Canada.
It’s a form of emotional extortion, as well as conditioning people to not respect human life.
Either the sick, disabled or elderly can go back to their rancid care homes or they can agree to be killed.
This country is in for some serious karma:

And this whole pandemic lockdown thing isn’t political? How many goveernments are trying to cover up their incompetence?
Killing off the old folks because they are a burden appears to be a feature with the Cuomo crowd. And an unsubtle warning for the Boomers aging out of the work force.
Former Michigan Governor Rick Snyder and others are fending off multiple charges… perjury and involuntary manslaughter just to name a few and all related to the Flint water debacle.
If there are some who think Cuomo actions are somehow different I’m all ears.
Snider had no control over Flint’s water, whereas Cuomo ordered homes to take infectious patients?
also, Snider committed the crime of “Governing while Republican”
It seems a tacit admission that the Dem govs of these 4 states were united in not just being anti-Trump, but in all their public policies. Were or are they somehow working together, not for common good, but for common protection against investigation of their possibly criminal acts?
I’m not advocating, but how these people are still alive is beyond me.
And they don’t even have the honor within to do the right thing and kill themselves.
Pretty clear the biggest mass murderers in the states are politicians and their minions.
Stalin said, “One death is a tragedy, a thousand is a statistic.”
It’s Trump’s fault. He made them lie.
Listen closely for his dog whistle. It was therefore a just thing to do, the guy like lied 44,000 times.
The state against Trump, who wouldn’t fight like hell against an insurrection with four dead of natural causes?
They shot a rioter. Tell me that happed in Portland or Minneapolis. Burning down a police station pales in comparison to that.
Can’t you see he must be impeached and removed from power. If that doesn’t work, in the name of justice they’ll have to frame him for a crime. So many are already sure of that it’s settled. So who needs a trial, or witnesses, unless you make us look bad.
