Scandal-plagued New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is no longer being investigated by the federal government for violating the civil rights of residents at state-run nursing homes during the pandemic under his controversial admission directive.
Cuomo was feeling triumphantly less embattled at a Monday news conference when he slammed the allegations.
“It was an outrageous allegation,” he claimed. “It was toxic politics. It violated the basic concept of justice in this nation. And it did a lot of harm and a lot of damage and then went on too long. I mean, this went on for like a year, until finally the Department of Justice dismissed it.”
In a letter to the House Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis on Friday, the DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs said that New York’s policy of admitting “medically stable” COVID-19 patients to nursing homes after they were discharged from hospitals was not a violation of the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act.
Pennsylvania, Michigan, and New Jersey, were also implicated in the probe after utilizing similar practices that “may have” killed thousands of elderly nursing home patients.
“We have reviewed the information provided by these states along with additional information available to the Department,” Deputy Assistant Attorney General Joe Gaeta wrote. “Based on that review, we have decided not to open a CRIPA investigation of any public nursing facility within New York, Pennsylvania, or Michigan at this time.”
Though the DOJ’s investigation has been dropped, Cuomo’s administration is still being criminally investigated by the FBI for covering up the actual nursing home coronavirus death toll caused by the policy.
Cuomo is also personally being investigated by the New York Attorney General for sexual harassment allegations made by his female aides. During the press conference he tried to turn the scrutiny onto the officials handling the probe.
“I’m very eager to get the facts to the people of this state and I think when they hear the actual facts of what happened, and how the situation has been handled, I think they’re going to be shocked,” he said. “Shocked. Because at the end of the day, the truth wins and facts win.”
What a surprise! The Dems in charge dropped their probe into another Dem. Shocking!! lol
Like I said where is our LAW it is sure not the Department of Justice.
Are you syprised? Not! Crooked bastards get away with everything someone needs to take care of these pieces of shit
It will be the military tribunals
I knew this commie scumbag would not be convicted of anything when this story first broke! They all take care of their own!
They’ll spend 20 years investigating Trump(s) who hasn’t/haven’t killed anyone. Cuomo kills 20,000 old people—nothing to see here folks.
Saved by Joey.
Saved by Joey Biden
Never any justice when Democrats are in charge. Just like cats covering up their crap!
As a Trump supporter, I never saw any justice when the GOP had a clean sweep. Weak kneed Republicans. So tired of voting for them!!
How much do you want to bet that Homo commie Cuomo will beat all of the charge’s?

Career criminals helping career criminals ! What a shocker ! No worries…. He will get his stent in Prison ! This is just a temporary reprieve !
What surprise. They always circle the wagon to protect their own criminals.
PEOPLE OF NY DEMAND HE BE REMOVED.
Every maggot traitor at DOJ must face firing squad next to Cuomo. They couldn’t be more treasonous or corrupt. HOW CAN WE ALLOW ANIMALS LIKE THEM TO LIVE AMONG US?
Of course the DOJ did…what would you expect from a corrupt and sinister gov’t agency ?
Reregister him as a republican. They’ll be all over it.
Just another example of what a hyper partisan DOJ and attorney general we have. Merrick Garland is no more than a tool for Beijing Briben’s handlers!
Well of course! The Demoncrat will never investigate or prosecute another Demoncrat: ‘He’s on OUR side!’ What were we thinking? Had he been a Republican Conservative who picked up the wrong fork at the dinner table, they would call out the FBI and the National Guard.
The DOJ is an example of being bought and all of these supposed lawyers need to be hung for treason along with their cohorts and bosses
CUOMO Don’t even know the meaning of the word truth he’s a democrat
Dont worry. Justice is coming and he wont escape. Not content with murdering full term babies , he was responsible for many elderly deaths as well. Apart from being a bad governor!
Yes, I Murdered your Parents and Grandparents, and you can do nothing about it because I’m a Democrat and we are in CONTROL!
There is no law or justice with democrats.
