Back in July of 2020, Chris Cuomo posed a question:
“Can we trust the data from florida’s governor?”That was monumentally ironic. We'll "circle back" to that later.
As regular readers here will remember, we've been well aware of Cuomo's malfeasances vis-a-vis the COVID CCP Wuhan Chinese virus pandemic.
We remember his mandating that nursing homes take in COVID positive patients.
We remember saying that his elderly death numbers were vastly under-reported.
I remember writing that "Andrew Cuomo is an arrogant pompous self-righteous a**hole."
The lid finally blew off the cesspool that is the Governor's office. Cuomo's aide admitted falsifying data:
Gov. Andrew 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 that the true numbers would “be used against us” by federal prosecutors, The Post has learned.You see? It's Trump's fault.The stunning admission of a coverup 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.”Then they begin the deceitIn addition to attacking Cuomo’s fellow Democratic governors, DeRosa said, Trump “directs the Department of Justice to do an investigation into us.”
“And basically, we froze,” she told the lawmakers on the call.
“Because then we were in a position where we weren’t sure if what we were going to give to the Department of Justice, or what we give to you guys, what we start saying, was going to be used against us while we weren’t sure if there was going to be an investigation.”They didn't want to make the information public because it would make them look bad. They intentionally hid the number of deaths.DeRosa added: “That played a very large role into this.”
But after state Attorney General Letitia James last month released a damning report that estimated the deaths of nursing home residents in hospitals would boost the grim tally by more than 50 percent, Health Commissioner Howard Zucker finally released figures showing the combined total was 12,743 as of Jan. 19.New York legislators have properly called for an investigation into Cuomo's actions and seek to strip him of his emergency powers:Just a day earlier, the DOH was only publicly acknowledging 8,711 deaths in nursing homes.
In a Wednesday letter to lawmakers, Zucker said the total number of nursing home residents killed by COVID-19 had increased to 13,297. That number jumps to 15,049 when assisted living/adult care facilities are factored in.
New York Senate Minority Leader Rob Ortt (R-Niagara) said in a tweet: “Governor Cuomo and his administration must be investigated from top to bottom and he must be stripped of his emergency powers. Justice needs to be brought for the grieving families who have been ignored to protect Governor Cuomo and his Democrat allies in the Legislature.”Back in 2010 I said Cuomo should already have been in prison.In a separate statement, he said: “The news today that Governor Cuomo’s top aide admitted to deliberately withholding information about COVID-19 deaths is the latest in a string of disturbing acts of corruption by his administration.
Knowing how New York rolls, watch to see if if this falls into the lap of Audrey Strauss, the US Attorney for the Southern District. She is mother in law of Melissa DeRosa.
Cuomo, being his usual sanctimonious preening self reacted to this in a predictable fashion:

I think he will!
Not so fast. Don’t forget he is an Elite Rat.
So damn much political INCEST!!
This gu must be kidding.
Like every other DEMONcRAT the guy isn’t just covered in Teflon, he is covered in Flubber.
Things don’t just slide off him, they bounce off and accelerate in the opposite direction.
Oops, let me try that again. To fast on the Post trigger.
This GUY must be kidding.
Like every other DEMONcRAT the guy isn’t just covered in Teflon, he is covered in Flubber.
Things don’t just slide off him, they bounce off and accelerate in the opposite direction.
An emotional fella upfront with is feelings. Women like that and will support him. Get with it fellas.
I’m trying to figure out what flipped the switch on how the average media view Cuomo? We informed readers knew all of this since around Memorial Day in last May.
Maybe one of two things; Atty. General Letitia James saying Cuomo’s health officials undercounted the Care Facility Covid deaths by 50%, and now she wants to ‘investigate’.
Or Cuomo’s own co worker saying that they ‘miscounted’.
Usually, the media has zero problem overlooking any inconvenient fact about one of their favorite Dems.
[[ New York legislators have properly called for an investigation]]
A d just, ike whe. Holder “investigated himself”, the ,eft won’t find even a smidgen of evidence of wrongdoing. They will likely nominated hi. For another Emmy or whatever trophy he got. But we can hope that this time will be different. Justice needs to prevail in this case. What he did was very very serious
There are many democrats in New York who do not like him. They tolerated his antics because “orange man bad” was more important, but now the knives are coming out for a man who has rubbed many of them wrong from the beginning.
Cuomo is incredibly arrogant and abrasive. He has presided over the wrecking of a state from top to bottom and those with the money the democrats in NY need to keep their machine running have and are fleeing the state. “Telework” due to Covid is here to stay so all those expensive offices and homes in NYC and throughout the state are not needed now.
When we look back on the history of this point in time, it is unlikely that any state in our country (even CA) will have been negatively impacted more by Covid than New York.
His policies directly contributed to the razing and his lies to cover it up are not nearly as powerful as the growing anger. The media is in a real pickle with Cuomo. They pushed him to Sainthood only months ago, but now the truth is crashing down on not only Cuomo, but the sycophant media as well.
At some point, given the fact that they have been fearless on stories far ahead of the media, the NY Post may be as influential as the NYT.
[[Maybe one of two things; Atty. General Letitia James saying Cuomo’s health officials undercounted the Care Facility Covid deaths by 50%, and now she wants to ‘investigate’.]]
My suspicious mind thinks that maybe she is doing this to try to stave off serious investigations? Have one co ducted by sympathizers before the opposition demands real investigations perhaps?
I hope not, but near.y everyone I. Ny gov is corrupt it seems
I’s love to see his bro having to read the story on his show.
You may be onto something with Letitia pretending to be The Bad Cop. I had been expecting Cuomo to be emitting public howls of rage over the fact that someone he assisted in getting her present job is now daring to give her benefactor a hard time. He has never been shy about expressing hostilities toward other elected officials before.
She may be setting herself up for a run for governor. AG office has been a path for Spitzer and Big Fredo.
Try to keep in mind that incest is best when it's kept in the family.
Sounds like a conspiracy to conceal evidence from federal investigators. Also sounds like RICO act material.
This will be the undoing of Caligula Cuomo.
And all because of one wonderful and persistent woman...the sweet but indefatigable Janice Dean.
So they are going to end his unconstitutional emergency powers early and send him a sternly worded letter.
Couom & company (and the entire Democrat Party/MSM) need to watch this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLXys9vgWiY “The building built on stilts” - Nickolas Means
about the CitiCorp building in NYC.
The engineer and the structural steel contractor made errors in the design and its implementation that probably would have led to to the building toppling over in the next tropical storm to hit NYC. In the process, “it would have caused a chain of buildings to “topple domino fashion all the way to Central Park!”
Once this error was pointed out to him, he went to the Architect and they,in turn, went to the head of Citicorp.
“Transparency”
Then they went to the NYC Building Authority. The Building Authority became Solution-Oriented, i.e., “How do we fix this”, rather than Blame-Oriented.
I encourage you to watch the entire video for the excellent principles demonstrated by all concerned.
Too bad that our entire political class lives in continual CYA-Mode.
It’s stunning that the scion of a highly partisan political family (Chris “Fredo” Cuomo) can call himself a “journalist” with a straight face and not be laughed at. CNN seems to think so.
