Original Article

The Manhattan district attorney’s office has dropped a probe into Andrew Cuomo over allegations he mishandled nursing homes during the initial coronavirus outbreak, the ex-governor’s lawyer said Monday. Cuomo’s spokesman forwarded a statement from Elkan Abramowitz, an attorney who had repped the governor’s office under Cuomo. “I was contacted today by the head of the Elder Care Unit from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office who informed me they have closed its investigation involving the Executive Chamber and nursing homes,” Abramowitz said. “I was told that after a thorough investigation—as we have said all along—there was no evidence to suggest that any laws were broken.”

Comments:

A very thorough investigation, one ethical Democrat to another. The left is OK with killing the elderly as consolidation of power is all that matters.

I had to laugh when I read this headline, and then saw that the next article in the thread is “No one is above the law” re: Ivanka and Jared, according to the ultra objective Letitia James. Obviously, Andy is untouchable and will never answer or pay for the thousands of negligent homicides of the elderly in New York. Makes me sick.

How nice for the Cuomo clan. Sex Pesticus skates on everything. Don't be surprised when this lowlife runs for his old job again, now that he has been allowed to walk on Granny Genocide, walk on his serial sexcapades, and will soon get off the hook for the book millions he was paid illegally as well.

#14, That was never going to happen. Too many democrat governors did the same and there is no way democrats were going to allow them to be prosecuted even though their actions caused the deaths of many, many seniors. I am rapidly becoming aware just how evil individuals can be when they have no respect for God. No need to ever wonder how the Nazis did their horrific atrocities. That kind of behavior can be found in the hearts of many. Rejecting God has grave consequences. It strips the concept of right and wrong, good and evil, right out of the soul.

They killed the investigation by giving it to the "Elder Care" unit of the DA's office. Because in individual cases, there was no elder care abuse. If they had given it to the government integrity unit, he'd be in jail for manslaughter and malfeasance.

Willfully infecting nursing homes when there were other avenues available thanks to Trump, and you say no laws broken? I always thought that spreading hazardous materials was against the law. Because covid was sure considered a hazmat situation by all the politicians when it served their agenda, right?

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), more than $159 million has been awarded to Texas residents who applied for federal aid to cover COVID-19 funeral expenses. California has received around $149 million while New York is third with about $136 million.

A leading expert who helped create the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine said Tuesday that giving everyone in the world booster shots multiple times a year is not feasible. "We can't vaccinate the planet every four to six months.

For months, President Biden has characterized the continued spread of the coronavirus as a "pandemic of the unvaccinated" and repeatedly claimed that vaccinated people cannot spread the virus, contradicting what his own Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been saying since at least April. "This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated," the president told Ohio’s WHIO TV 7 on Dec. 14. "The unvaccinated. Not the vaccinated, the unvaccinated. That’s the problem. Everybody talks about freedom and not to have a shot or have a test. Well guess what? How about patriotism? How about making sure that you’re vaccinated, so you do not spread the disease to anyone else."

The agency endorsed the shorter period after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized the reduced timeline on Monday for those who received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. The CDC still suggests that Johnson & Johnson and Moderna recipients receive their boosters two months and six months, respectively, after completing the primary series.

With the turn of the calendar to 2022, Republicans are not only looking to the 2022 midterm elections but to the prospect of Donald Trump running in 2024. Trump is hugely popular with the party’s base and that popularity freezes the plans of other possible candidates for the 2024 nomination. Trump’s hold on that nomination is brittle, however, because of his age. On election day in 2024 Donald Trump will be 78 years old. That is one year older than Ronald Reagan’s age when he left office in 1988.Looking at the 2024 contest from the other side of the race, there is no reason to expect that Joe Biden
