Shortly before the AG report about Andrew Cuomo’s sexual harassment, and in some cases assault (plus Chris Cuomo’s writing up defenses for Andrew), the Biden DOJ gave Andrew Cuomo sort of a life line. A few days before the New York AG report, the Biden DOJ announced they will NOT investigate the real Andrew Cuomo scandal, the nursing home scandal that lead to the deaths of at least 15,000 senior citizens. Slimy Cuomo put COVID infected patients into nursing homes, and 15,000+ people died.
What Andrew Cuomo did to these women needs to be answered with justice, but what about the victims and families of the 15,000 dead senior citizens who died because of Andrew Cuomo’s arrogance and incompetence? That’s the real scandal here.
The Department of Justice has decided not to investigate whether the civil rights of residents in New York’s government-run nursing homes were violated by Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s controversial admission policy related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a letter Friday, the DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs told US Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), ranking member of that House Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, that New York was off the hook in connection with potential violations of the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act.
In August, the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division requested information from New York in connection with a March 25, 2020, order from the state Department of Health that required nursing homes to admit “medically stable” COVID-19 patients discharged from hospitals.
It also sought records from Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Jersey, which adopted similar rules that the DOJ said “may have resulted in the deaths of thousands of elderly nursing home residents.”
