At the end of January, we learned that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Wuhan virus policies when the disease first hit his state killed approximately 50% more elderly people than his administration had first acknowledged. That information just got worse with word that one of his top aides apologized to the state’s Democrat legislators for deliberately lying about the nursing home death toll. They had to lie, she explained, because President Trump was after them for killing “everyone in nursing homes.”
Within a very short time of the Wuhan virus’s accelerated appearance in America last year, it was obvious that the elderly were the most likely to die from the virus. Nevertheless, Andrew Cuomo mandated that group homes housing the elderly (retirement communities, long-term care facilities, etc.), accept from hospitals patients diagnosed with the Wuhan virus.

At the end of July, thanks to the fact that the New York attorney general, Letitia James, might be planning to challenge Cuomo from the left, we learned that this number was off by more than 130%. Apparently, Cuomo’s policies killed as many as 15,049 elderly citizens in his state.
With this pile-up of horrific news about New York’s Emmy award-winning governor, one would think things couldn’t get worse. One would be wrong.
On Thursday, news broke that Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa, one of Cuomo’s top aides, confessed during a video conference call with the state’s Democrat legislators that New York deliberately undercounted the death toll to avoid federal scrutiny. She hastened to assure the legislators, though, this was Trump’s fault. He was breathing down their necks so they had to do something – and, apparently, that something was to lie:

We used to call this Obstruction of Justice in Furtherance of a Criminal Conspiracy
This is a criminal cover-up. Where is the DOJ? Will Jen circle back Psaki talk about this? The media is covering up this story.
How is this not a criminal admission?
It sounds like they are going after the aide. The aide will probably get a deal to testify against Cuomo.
They better, this is crazy.
She needs to stay away from Ft. Marcy Park though...
“ The aide will probably get a deal to testify against Cuomo.”
The aide will probably get a deal to sleep with the fishes.
And in other news, Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s new book on leadership has been selected by the Oprah Winfrey Book of the Month Club.

Was there any doubt about his or even worse if you are on FR? I wonder when it will be revealed that the same thing in PA occurred?
No match between the government action and reporting, and some criminal statute.
There is no criminal statute on the subject of knowingly exposing a population, e.g. nursing home, to some indefinite but significant increased risk. Government failure to care for the population is not a crime.
There is no criminal statute on the subject of advancing false or misleading statistics for the purpose of political advantage. In fact, the government does this all the time. Generally, it is not a crime for the government to lie and mislead. It's up to the listener to grant, withhold or temper trust and faith.
Both the government and the press lay claim to having public best interest and truth as guiding principles.
Whether on purpose or not, they are creating a lot of anger and hate which always leads to violence.
They lie on purpose, but for self gain and often of a mind that the lie will prevent violence.
Plus the law has that violence is illegal. Government has a monopoly on inititation of violence.
This Patriot better stay out of Marcy Park.
