House Republicans ask DOJ to charge Andrew Cuomo for lying about ‘calculated cover-up’ of NY nursing home deaths

WASHINGTON — House Republicans have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to charge former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for making “criminally false statements” to Congress, citing “overwhelming evidence” that an audit he presided over had low-balled nursing home deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The House Oversight Committee re-upped the criminal referral after then-Attorney General Merrick Garland declined last year to prosecute Cuomo for allegedly triggering, helping to draft and reviewing a July 6, 2020, report that undercounted the total number of deaths in senior care facilities by 46%.

“Andrew Cuomo is a man with a history of corruption and deceit, now caught red-handed lying to Congress during the Select Subcommittee’s investigation into the COVID-19 nursing home tragedy in New York,” said Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) in a statement.

“This wasn’t a slip-up — it was a calculated cover-up by a man seeking to shield himself from responsibility for the devastating loss of life in New York’s nursing homes.”

Comer demanded that “Cuomo must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law” for lying three times to Congress — a charge that carries a maximum five-year prison sentence for each count — and said his panel would “fully cooperate” with a future DOJ probe of the 67-year-old ex-governor and current mayoral front-runner.

It’s been a long time coming. All those senior citizens were sent to their deaths.

Bondi already has a referral to prosecute him. I would not hold my breath waiting for it to happen. If he is prosecuted, it will surprise the Hell out of me. Mow if it was George Zimmerman.......

Notice, NOTHING ever originates from DOJ. It’s Trump’s EOs, the FHA, Congress, whoever else but NOTHING from DOJ or FBI about Russiagate, Scamdemic, Lawfare.

Add Tom “Tomimthe Commie” Wolf (D-PA), Tim “Tiptoe through the Tampons” Walz (D-MN) and “Smurfie” Murphy (D-NJ) to the bill—PLEASE!

Whitmer did the same in Michigan. She forced covid patients into nursing homes and people died. Again, Pam where are you?

Good. Now drag Holder back in front of your Committee and ask him again about Fast and Furious.

Somebody needs to prioritize Bondi to do list.

First has to be responding to the rouge judges.

Second, the Epstein files.

Third, the FBI Jan 6th response.

Fourth, the FDA

Others?

Cuomo seems far down on the list.

Rouge means Red, and it’s makeup women wear. I think you meant rogue. But both are correct!

Even I am surprised at the lack of fortitude of the DOJ in anything here. Trump should have made Musk AG, at least he’s been doing something.

They ran up the murders. They needed us to be afraid of their Virus. That was used to spread mail in voting. With that they stole America. Had they succeeded in killing the Filibuster like they had planned we'd probably be in a Civil War by now.

She needs such ‘hand holding’ she needs to be replaced

Lastly, just HOW many “employees” at the DOJ again (doing nothing [SEE: step above])??

The worst part?

Trump had CMS relax regs in mid March of that year so facilities that needed to refuse could refuse to take back sick CoupFlu residents from the hospital.

Cuomo ordered them sent back on mid-May.

So did Whitmer.

Why did facilities not avail themselves of the protection afforded by the relaxation of the CMS.

Cuomo shouldn’t be in the dock by himself.

I remember Cumo saying that the nursing homes must take them back or else. Yep, he’s guilty.

But the facilities didn’t have to take them back thanks to Trump having CMS relax its regs that March.

So why did the facilities agree to do it?

And why isn’t the GOP interested in having that question answered?

Cuomo was a bully, they knew they would face retribution if they fought him.
