RIGHT SPEAK: House Republicans Ask DOJ to Charge Andrew Cuomo for Lying About ‘calculated cover-up’ of NY Nursing Home Deaths; Cuomo Ambushed by Protesters During NYC Mayoral Candidate Forum: ‘Cuomo lies, people die’, and other C-Virus related stories

House Republicans ask DOJ to charge Andrew Cuomo for lying about ‘calculated cover-up’ of NY nursing home deaths:

House Republicans have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to charge former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for making “criminally false statements” to Congress, citing “overwhelming evidence” that an audit he presided over had low-balled nursing home deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The House Oversight Committee re-upped the criminal referral after then-Attorney General Merrick Garland declined last year to prosecute Cuomo for allegedly triggering, helping to draft and reviewing a July 6, 2020, report that undercounted the total number of deaths in senior care facilities by 46%.

“Andrew Cuomo is a man with a history of corruption and deceit, now caught red-handed lying to Congress during the Select Subcommittee’s investigation into the COVID-19 nursing home tragedy in New York,” said Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) in a statement.

“This wasn’t a slip-up — it was a calculated cover-up by a man seeking to shield himself from responsibility for the devastating loss of life in New York’s nursing homes.”

Comer demanded that “Cuomo must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law” for lying to Congress — a charge that carries a maximum five-year prison sentence for each count alleged — and said his panel would “fully cooperate” with a future DOJ probe of the 67-year-old ex-governor and current mayoral front-runner.

The March 25, 2020, directive forced recovering COVID patients into senior care facilities — without mandated testing to see if they could still infect others.

By May 10, when Cuomo revoked the order, thousands of sick New Yorkers had been either admitted or readmitted into nursing homes.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had acknowledged the risk of asymptomatic spread six days earlier — but media outlets had been reporting on the possibility of such infections since early April.

Cuomo had filed his own request for former President Joe Biden’s Justice Department to charge ex-House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) for “colluding” with the husband of Fox News weather forecaster Janice Dean to suggest charges as well as breaking “the principles of federalism” by launching an investigation of a state agency.

“This interrogation far exceeded the Subcommittee’s jurisdiction and appears to have been an improper effort to advantage the interests of private litigants against Governor Cuomo, warranting investigation by the Department of Justice,” read the Oct. 30, 2024, letter from Cuomo’s attorneys, sent the same day as Wenstrup’s referral. --->READ MORE HERE

Andrew Cuomo ambushed by protesters during NYC mayoral candidate forum: ‘Cuomo lies, people die’:

A Big Apple mayoral candidate forum turned ugly for former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday night when a mob of angry protesters ambushed the stage and chanted, “Cuomo lies, people die.”

The pol, who resigned in disgrace from the governor’s office in 2021 following a slew of scandals, was answering a question about public safety at the Black Agenda’s Democratic mayoral forum at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn when a horde of demonstrators funneled into the auditorium and stormed the stage.

The stunt, which elicited groans from the audience, only lasted for a few moments before the NYPD attempted to wrangle the agitators and escort them out of the building.

“Cuomo lies, people die,” protesters chanted as cops intervened.

Another person screamed, “F–k you, Cuomo!” during the chaotic scene.

Cuomo, 67, remained on stage as demonstrators surrounded him — and at one point stood up to shake the hands of a few attendees who offered him words of support.
