Amid reports of a federal probe into Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's handling of COVID-19 nursing home deaths, Democrats from New York's General Assembly and Senate have begun discussing the possibility of stripping Cuomo of broad executive powers granted to him last March to oversee the state's COVID-19 response efforts.
The U.S. Justice Department has been probing Cuomo's COVID-19 task force to determine whether the state had purposefully manipulated data on nursing home deaths, two unnamed people familiar with the matter told the Associated Press. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity as they weren't allowed to publicly discuss the probe.
**SNIP**
After Assembly member Kim publicly criticized Cuomo's handling of the nursing home deaths in The New York Post, Kim claimed that Cuomo had called his home and threatened to destroy his career if he didn't issue a statement supporting his handling of COVID-19 in nursing homes.
Kim, whose uncle died in a nursing home in 2020 due to a presumed COVID-19 case, told the publication, "There's no undoing here. They have blood on their hands. We're talking about his record of performance in the last 10 months."
On Wednesday morning, Cuomo's senior adviser Rich Azzopardi said in a statement, "Kim's assertion that the governor said he would 'destroy him' is false."

Someone very important must have had a relative die in a nursing home. They are taking cuomo out.
Federal Whitewash is more like it. Always protect the Mafia Boss.
A federal probe of a Democrat. They should not worry. Cuomo will get away with murder.
Who cares. It is just a fight among thieves. In Stalin’s Soviet Union, minor factions of Communists fought it out with each other all the time. Stalin encouraged it.
Bueller?
Yeah. I predict he’ll skate. Possibly win a Nobel peace prize or an academy award for best imitation of a mob boss. No offense to the mafia.
If Cuomo leaves this unscathed, this Kim person will certainly be destroyed. Praying others come forward to see this criminal face some justice for once.
Elliot Spitzer would beg to differ.
Sounds like a good way to memory hole the whole thing.
Gonna be some scapegoats going down. Election fraud scapegoats coming next.
Spitizer was so clumsy that Andrew Cuomo, as attorney general, had to make a mild stink. You and I would still be in jail for money laundering.
When Democrats turn on their own, there’s always an ulterior motive and it has nothing to do with the truth. Cuomo wants to run for president. The left doesn’t want Cuomo, they want Harris or someone like Harris.
You're very right. The Uniparty needs to keep up the pretense that government is capable and not corrupted - throw a few COVID and election fraud scapegoats under the bus and pretend that all problems are solved.
Nothing will happen to King Cuomo. This is simply a show investigation that will ultimately find him the protector of the elderly
When is someone going to ask the White House about Biden pick for Assistant Secretary of Health?
It order Covid-19 sick people into the nursing homes how while putting it’s mother up in a hotel.
No, the Obama machine is taking him (and Governor Haircut) out so they don’t become a threat to Heals Up down the line.

I think you’re correct. Otherwise the death of 15,000 in the NY state nursing homes would have been buried as a story.
For Cuomo, the cold calculus of killing 15,000 people was worth it to deny an iota of positive press for President Trump’s actions such as providing the 1,000 bed Navy hospital ship, which went unused by Cuomo.
Yep and a few have to be names people recognize. They were likely about done with como anyways. The gov needs NY in better shape.
