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 is investigating.
I know. I know.
After an investigation that will last up until well into the 2022 election cycle ( October 15, 2022?), the FBI will release the results of their investigation:
TRUMP DID IT.

Hillary, Loretta Lynch, Yates, Mills, Comey, Strzok, Huber, Rosenstein, Sessions, Meuller, Wray.

No one in their right mind believes anything will come of this.

Six years from now on a Friday afternoon, a quiet announcement.

You know it.

A US Attorney’s office takes it to;

1). Occupy it and own it. Prevents another office or entity from requesting data.

2). It’s the easy answer for seven years, like Lois Lerner. There’s an investigation, so we can’t comment.

Tim Walz is is a hillbilly wannabe in flyover country. Cuomo is the velvet crooner.

The FBI will ensure that Cuomo is cleared and that Trump is blamed.

Yes, I was kind of wondering, how long it would take, for them to dismiss any and all charges?

His Arrogance Jr. is a threat to other better connected RATS who want to run in 2024. So I see this as possibly coming to something.

The FBI and the DOJ are totally corrupt and will find nothing and no one will be prosecuted, just like Durham.

Even worse. Those that are constitutionally responsible for providing oversight are corrupt, too. No way the DOJ could ever be this corrupt without top cover from Congress. It’s that simple.
