Rep. Tom Reed is calling for a federal investigation into Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s handling of the pandemic.
The Republican from upstate Corning is arguing that the governor’s order requiring nursing homes to accept COVID-19-positive patients directly led to the deaths of thousands of residents.
"Fifteen thousand souls died as a result of Gov. Cuomo’s order," Reed said Saturday on "Fox & Friends Weekend."

Did he not see the D next his name.
Ridiculous to suggest they would pursue Justice.

They will get right on it. Oh wait, did you say Cuomo? Nothing to see here, these aren’t the crimes you are looking for (waves hand).
Starting with Biden on down the federal government is loaded with blithering dangerous idiots just like Cuomo.
Its nice to murder and know you can get away with it
Reed knew about this back in March.
Why didn’t he do something while Trump was still in office?
The DOJ is 100% full on corrupt. There is no question about that now. You will never will see real justice come from them again. There purpose is to protect the corrupt and go after anyone who stands in their way by using every crooked method in the book. The same can said about the rest of the justice system at every level.
Who’s going to investigate it?
Other democrats?
What a joke.
Ah yes, now there’s a name that sort of just disappeared.
Durham.
Not a soul charged in his “investigation” or white wash.
DOJ is crappola.
Clinton crime syndicate? nope nothing to see here, move along!
Hunter Biden shake down artist extreme?
Nope nothing to see here, move along.
FBI dirty as hell?
Nope, nothing to see here, move along.
