U.S. attorney, FBI investigating Cuomo's handling of nursing home deaths

The U.S. attorney in Brooklyn and the FBI have begun a preliminary investigation into the way New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration handled data about Covid-19 nursing home deaths.

After early praise for his leadership when his state became the U.S. epicenter of the pandemic, the governor is now dealing with accusations of underreporting nursing home deaths.

In recent weeks, the administration revealed that 15,000 long-term care residents have died, up from the 8,500 previously disclosed.

Spokespeople for the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn and the FBI declined to comment Wednesday night.

The Albany Times Union first reported news of the inquiry.

“As we publicly said, DOJ has been looking into this for months. We have been cooperating with them and we will continue to," a senior advisor for the governor, Rich Azzopardi, said Wednesday night.

Last month, state Attorney General Letitia James released a damning report that said the state Health Department underreported the Covid-19 death toll at nursing homes by as much as 50 percent.

The FBI puke who falsified documents used to obtain four illegal “Russia collusion” FISA warrants got probation.

Andrew Homo has nothing to worry about.

You know Andrew’s father was a liberal, but at least Mario had some semblance of the old lunchbox Dmeocrat and could give a hell of a speech. His off-springs are total, absolute morons with all the personality of pickles.

“I really think someone has decided he has to go. Not sure who has that power.”

It is interesting to watch. They generally all stick together. But now that they have consolidated some power and Trump is gone ... they decide one of them can be sacrificed.

When de Blasio went after him the signal had been given for the hyenas to begin feeding.

Where did they find the time and personnel? I thought all assets were being brought to bear on Trump.

It could be that. Andrew could have been a contender. So knock him out. Might just be about the Gov. race.

If the DoJj is involved, and it concerns a democrat, you can be sure the objective is a coverup.

Our DOJ is compromised. Mass murder isn’t about data handling, but they put their heads in the sand, as usual, because they’re not interested in law and order.

This is satire, right?
No one with a functioning brain thinks anything will come from this.
The FBI/DOJ are a stain upon America.
