Maybe the GOP-led State Legislature will hold some hearings and write some strongly worded letter to the Governess.

Or something.

The ‘killing seniors by forcing COVID-positive patients into nursing homes’ Cuomo II, yes.

Getting touchy-feely with the help Cuomo II, no.

I’m so glad I escaped MI long ago. I can’t imagine living in that police state.

Dems know how to use the old NDA trick to keep them from going to jail.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer recently paid off a former health director who was intimately involved in crafting COVID-19 policy housing patients with elderly folks in nursing homes and causing countless deaths.

Whitmer abruptly and unexpectedly paid off former state health department director Robert Gordon a bounty of $155,506 in which he signed a non-disclosure agreement of sorts. Critics are calling this a hush money payment in a desperate attempt to protect Whitmer from a criminal probe.

Looks like you can’t hide behind an NDA to avoid reporting illegal activity...

Shaddap or Nazi Nessel will bring criminal charges against you for pointing out that there's law and stuff.

I know this may seem like a dumb question , given the hush money paid to the “sexual harassment victims”’in DC, but......

How is. Non-disclosure agreement binding with public money? Or did she pay him out of her personal account, which would be bribing a government official. And since he accepted it, he’s as guilty as she is. Morons.

The Democrats really are quite stupid. If not for fraud and their ability to promise the moon, deliver a poop sandwich, and still have some support, they’d be deader than disco. They need to thank the college professors, gimmedats, old hippies, and labor unions daily. Almost like saying grace at every meal. Start each speech by thanking all of the above for allowing them to keep getting elected.

It's going to be hard to get rid of her, they are gonna need a smoking gun, this guy was it. Unless some underling spills the beans or somehow all his emails show up, nondisclosure agreement be damned at that point. It's not just Cuomo, it's the Gov of NJ, PA, and possibly MA on top of Gretchen that all followed Cuomo's template.

Janice Dean is a hero, I hope she runs for Governor in NY. All the other clowns I mentioned, I hope they face justice, but I am not holding my breath.....

Apparently not.

We have no government in Michigan. We are operating on the whims of a lunatic. She has offered no rational reason for her dictates. This is the worst governor in my 70 years in this state. By FAR.

It’s pretty simple. Massive civil disobedience will render the witch impotent.

Stand up, Michiganders!

I don't think a non-disclosure agreement is a shield to withholding information from a criminal , civil or legislative investigation via a warrant. It does bind a person from disclosing information publicly though.

I've signed a number of these over the years. In my professional career, they are standard part of the documentation package when on boarding to a company as an employee or by contract. Went leaving a company, it's not uncommon to have a NDA flashed at you to sign. Some times I sign and sometimes I don't at this stage. Only one time have I been offered $$$ to sign a NDA and in that case I did take the $$$ as it applied to sensitive but not at all potentially illegal info. The company was discussing an acquisition by another corporation and wanted to tightly control proprietary business info.

From my experience, most NDAs are long on dire consequences that are in reality largely non-enforceable. I guarantee you that if there were a civil, criminal or legislative investigation active or even the risk of one I would have legal representation in a flash. A NDA is primarily enforceable in circumstances of disclosing proprietary info to a news reporter or competing company.

I don't post a lot but from time to time, I will sometimes speak on some things involving a tech subject where you might detect something not mentioned. In very rare circumstances there could be a NDA factor but normally it is simply professional ethics.

An engineer's opinions...
