Suddenly, It's All a Conspiracy Theory
American Thinker.com ^ | February 20. 2021 | Jeffrey Folks

Gov. Cuomo continues to insist that nursing home–related charges against him are a "conspiracy theory." Cuomo is referring to suggestions that thousands of seniors may have died as a result of his actions and that he and others working under him undercounted and covered up those deaths.

Liberals now use the phrase "conspiracy theory" to respond to any sort of criticism. But what exactly does Gov. Cuomo mean by "conspiracy theory"? What is the "theory," and who are the "conspirators"? Is it a "theory" to say the governor ordered nursing home patients with COVID-19 into nursing homes, where they might infect other patients? Is it mere theory to point out that Cuomo's administration underreported the number of deaths from COVID-19 among nursing home patients? Is it theory to say Cuomo failed to respond to New York representatives' request for information concerning nursing home deaths?

And who are the conspirators? According to Cuomo's aide, Melissa DeRosa, information was withheld because Cuomo and DeRosa feared that "it was going to be used against us," presumably by Republicans and specifically by the Trump DOJ. Yet now there are several ongoing investigations into Cuomo's actions by Democrats, including the Biden DOJ. Does the governor consider these investigations by members of his own party a conspiracy?

The governor also blames the ongoing DOJ investigations for his apparent failure to provide nursing home data to members of the New York Assembly and Senate, and he claims he made this reason known to the Assembly and Senate. According to reports, several state senators claim that that was not the case. Is the governor lying, or are New York assemblymen and senators wrong?

“used against them by the DOJ” IE ... criminally negligent behavior. Trying to cover it up might be viewed by some as behavior consistent with someone that had intent.

If they were working in the best interests of the citizens and taxpayers, they would not have had any fear of the “Trump DOJ” or anyone else. If you policies are honest, defensible and in the public interest then there is nothing to fear.

When you know you are doing the wrong thing, then you lie, and manipulate, and cover-up your malfeasance.

Since you were in a “screw Trump” attitude, you refused the assistance of the US taxpayers with the Javits Center hospital and the USN Hospital ship Comfort, there is simply no excuse for what he did. It was murder.

200 proof Trump derangement

The democrat powers that be have decided to take out Cuomo. They could have used just about anything but the nursing home deaths are as good as any.

Since when could a government entity hide potentially damaging data because they feared it might be used against them? That’s kind of the point, especially when you’ve screwed up so critically that it cost many lives?

Right. He’s saying, essentially, that he hid the data because he knew he’d done wrong-not because it could be manipulated in some way against him-he just flat out acted with evil disregard.

Did NY and other states grossly exaggerate the number of COVID deaths? Did all of those elderly people really die of COVID, or did they really die of pneumonia, strokes, cancer, and heart attacks? The truth will finally come out hopefully.

Michigan and NJ govenors did the same thing. Wonder why no one is talking about Whitmer and Wolf doing the same thing Cuomo did?
