Cuomo exit isn’t stopping push for answers on nursing homes
The Associated Press ^ | August 12, 2021 | By MATT SEDENSKY

Sexual harassment allegations cost New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo his job. Now, many want to see him answer for a scandal that cut to the heart of his reputation as a pandemic hero and may have had life-and-death consequences — his administration’s handling of outbreaks in nursing homes.

Months before a blistering investigation found Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women, the same attorney general concluded that the administration understated the true death toll in nursing homes by thousands and that fatalities may have been fueled by a state order that forced such homes to accept recovering COVID-19 patients.

Whatever action may lie ahead on the harassment claims, families of the more than 15,000 New Yorkers who died in nursing homes say they want accountability, too, and are urging state lawmakers and the U.S. Justice Department to keep investigating Cuomo after he leaves office.

“The nursing home people and their families have not had a day of reckoning,” said Vivian Zayas, who blames Cuomo for her mother’s death in a West Islip, New York, nursing home.

“This not a victory yet,” she said. “A victory is when the whole nursing home scandal is blown open.”

If they go after Cuomo, they need to go after other blue state governors who enforced the same nursing home mandate. NY, NJ, MI, PA and others. So I don’t expect the Marxists to hold anyone accountable for sentencing thousands of seniors to death.

I know there is no statute of limitation for murder, but for this case is there one for voluntary manslaughter ... should be easy enough to prove.

FWIW, folks shouldn’t make the assumption Albans and Cuomo massaged the fatality numbers down.

I still think there’s a possibility the numbers were goosed up instead.

The only thing that will settle this is an unbiased examination of every CoupFlu death in NYS. Including medical history, death certificates, and autopsy results if any.

States aren’t the only things in need of an audit.

But it might not be for the reasons people think.

Ten bucks says that Governor Nipple Ring has informed the Harris/Biden junta that if they go after him he’ll bring many,many people down with him.

Nuthin will happen to Cuomo over that nursing home debacle. Republicans don’t have the political will, never have.

Interesting that the AP is taking this tack. I’d normally expect a story spike out of them on this particular issue. Perhaps 15,000 unnecessary deaths is too big to cover up after all. Perhaps not.
