Obscene.
I believe that breaking the story on pandemic nursing home deaths was one of the most important things I have ever done. I wrote an extensive series breaking down the numbers state by state, and focusing on particular facilities, exposing the policies behind the death toll, and the officials responsible. I peeled back the lies and hammered away at the story for months and years. And it all proved to be mostly useless.
No one, not one major elected official or health official, was ever held responsible or paid a price for their actions during the pandemic. Most actually came out of it pretty well. Even Gov. Cuomo only lost his seat because of dubious claims of sexual harassment, and appears likely to stage a comeback. The public debate over the pandemic became segmented in ways that made it impossible to discuss what happened in nursing homes. The only people who cared were the ones who had lost loved ones.
And after all these years, the sheer political callousness of it takes my breath away.
It’s 2025 and a DOJ ‘watchdog’ has apparently been investigating whether the investigating of the nursing home killing fields was really too political.
A Justice Department watchdog report into leaks to the media about the agency’s investigations into pandemic-related nursing home deaths in New York and New Jersey uncovered evidence that the disclosures were aimed at influencing the 2020 election.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz concluded that the leaks were orchestrated by senior DOJ officials and violated department policies governing interactions with the press about ongoing investigations. DOJ’s investigations, which proved politically embarrassing for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, came as then-President Donald Trump attacked Democratic governors over their handling of the pandemic as his own poll numbers plummeted.
Again. Incredible.
Killing thousands by bringing infected patients into nursing homes does not merit any action against any of the officials responsible, some of whom went on to play a role in the Biden administration, including a certain male ‘admiral’ who claims to be a woman, but it’s more important to investigate whether the investigation of thousands of deaths was political.
And the same sociopaths responsible for this are gleefully playing the media again.
Aides to Cuomo said the report vindicated their claims that DOJ targeted the then-governor for political reasons. “This blockbuster report confirms what we’ve said all along: The federal government corrupted and misused the Department of Justice to influence the 2020 presidential election – and in the process weaponized the real pain of those who lost loved ones to COVID in a nursing home,” Cuomo spokesperson Rich Azzopardi said in a statement, pointing to parts of the report indicating that nursing home deaths occurred at similar levels in states that DOJ did not investigate.
When you want to see evil in black and white, read the stuff Cuomo’s people put out there, and know that the media will continue covering up for the mass murder of the elderly. They will never face any justice except at the hands of a Higher power.
