Nine Democratic members of the New York State Assembly on Tuesday accused Gov. Andrew Cuomo of federal obstruction of justice in a letter seeking support to strip him of his COVID-19 emergency powers.
The move followed last week’s exclusive Post report that revealed Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa admitting to Democratic lawmakers that Cuomo’s administration covered up data about the total number of nursing home residents killed by the coronavirus.
The letter, sent Tuesday to members of the Assembly, said, “It is now unambiguously clear that this governor has engaged in an intentional obstruction of justice, as outlined in Title 18, Chapter 73 of the United States Code.”
“In response to this criminal use of power, Assemblymember Ron Kim and Senator [Alessandra] Biaggi are introducing a bill to repeal the amendments to the Executive Law that were passed by the Legislature one year ago…that expanded the Governor’s authority to unilaterally suspend entire state statutes in response to an impending state emergency,” Kim (D-Queens) and other lawmakers wrote.
“This is a necessary first step in beginning to right the criminal wrongs of this Governor and his administration.”
The letter warned that if the Legislature fails to act - including by overriding an eventual veto and potentially launching impeachment proceedings against Cuomo - “then we too shall be complicit along with this administration in the obstruction of justice and conscious omission of nursing homes death data.”

Have any class action civil lawsuits been reported?
He should be charged with mass murder.
Maybe the DOJ will charge him.
*snort*
*snicker...*
Hee heee....
BWAAAA HAA HAAAA!!!!
oh I’m dying hee hee.
Supposedly cuomo and Biden...or whoever was playing Biden at the time...had a conversation last week and Biden was fine with him, no problem. But that’s because the Dems in DC are behind the curve and still think Cuomo is politically powerful...but obviously he’s not what he used to be, if his own NY Dems are turning in him.
Cuomo is a nasty bastid and has been lording it over the other Dems for years, and I think there’s a lot if resentment built up and scores to settle. So yeah, I think he will actually end up with charges against him, although I don’t know how high up they’ll go.
The pots calling the kettle black.
Genocide.
The NY legislative Dem majority are afraid of him, and will do very little. They know Cuomo and Biden are friends.
Need more than 9, you need 100 members.
