Fredo Cuomo's Brother Gropo Cuomo Ordered His Aides to Hide Nursing Home Slaughter For Months

From the NYT:

Cuomo Aides Spent Months Hiding Nursing Home Death Toll Aides to the New York governor, Andrew M. Cuomo, repeatedly prevented state health officials from releasing the number of nursing home deaths in the pandemic.

The effort by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's office to obscure the pandemic death toll in New York nursing homes was far greater than previously known, with aides repeatedly overruling state health officials over a span of at least five months, according to interviews and newly unearthed documents.

Mr. Cuomo's most senior aides engaged in a sustained effort to prevent the state's own health officials, including the commissioner, Howard Zucker, from releasing the true death toll to the public or sharing it with state lawmakers, these interviews and documents showed.

A scientific paper, which incorporated the data, was never published. An audit of the numbers by a top Cuomo aide was finished months before it became publicly known. Two letters, drafted by the Health Department and meant for state legislators, were never sent.

The actions coincided with the period in which Mr. Cuomo was pitching and then writing a book on the pandemic, with the assistance of his top aide, Melissa DeRosa, and others.

Killin' grannies, winnin' Emmys.

...

The full data on nursing home deaths was not released until this year, after a report by the state attorney general in late January found that the official tally might have undercounted the true toll by as much as 50 percent.

That was something Mr. Cuomo's aides had known since the previous spring, The New York Times found.

Meanwhile, the man hailed by the entire leftwing media as a heroic savior says it's not faaaaiir that the women accusing him of sexual harassment (and two of actual sexual assault) went public with their accusations, instead of keeping them secret.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is having a hard time holding his tongue.

The embattled governor lashed out Thursday, arguing it’s “not fair” that the multiple women accusing him of sexual harassment have shared their stories publicly.

"What has happened is, the complainants have continued to go to the press and make their complaint in the press," Cuomo said during an appearance in Buffalo. "And I have not been able to respond. That's not fair and it's not right."

That's not true; he has repeatedly responded to every charge, claiming innocence.

Now, maybe he means something like, "They all came on to me, they all wanted the Luv Nub," and hasn't said that.

In which case: whatever, Boomer.

But he has denied all of this.

In addition, he directed his staff to release derogatory memos attacking his first accuser.

He's just a pathological liar.

Cuomo said he has yet to talk to independent investigators hired by Attorney General Letitia James' office last month to probe the allegations made against him. But he can't wait to share his side of the story.

"I have not, but I can tell you this, I have tried to be respectful of the process," he said. "At the same time, it has been very difficult letting people make accusations and not responding. And people have only heard one side of the story.

"People have heard one side of the story, I can't tell you how eager I am to tell my side of the story," he added.

There is literally nothing that prevents him from "telling his side of the story."

Except that his lawyers are telling him to be quiet.

Because they don't want to give his accusers any advance notice of the lies he's going to deploy.
