Amazing

It’s simply amazing that this stuff wasn’t caught until just after the inauguration of Biden. The Daily Mail:

In a remarkable confession made during a conference call with state Democrats, obtained by The New York Post, DeRosa, secretary to Cuomo, admitted that officials ‘froze’ in August when former President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice asked for the data, before rebuffing the request.

DeRosa told lawmakers: ‘We were in a position where we weren’t sure if what we were going to give to the Department of Justice, or what we give to you guys, what we start saying, was going to be used against us while we weren’t sure if there was going to be an investigation.’

The data remained secret for months until January, when a shocking report from New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office said the state had undercounted the number of nursing home deaths by as much as 50 percent.

New York had previously only counted residents who died in nursing homes, and left out 4,000 residents who were taken to hospital and died there.

A conference is expected to be held discussing rescinding Cuomo’s emergency powers – which granted him the authority to suspend existing statutes or effectively create new laws – a new report states.

This conference should be about charging him with obstructing justice, not whether to slap his hand and call him a bad boy. Cuomo’s policy directly led to over 10k deaths, and when asked to provide information by the DOJ, he actively refused and purposefully withheld damning information.
