"There are too many ongoing investigations of Andrew Cuomo - both federal and state - to count. For the 11 sexual misconduct allegations, shady $5.1 million book deal, improper use of taxpayer resources for personal benefit, etc... We must never forget about the one investigation that involves the deaths of over 15,000 seniors and subsequent coverup. Those victims and their families deserve justice. The NYS Bar Association just took a step in that direction in releasing an extensive 242-page report that clearly states Cuomo's March 25th, 2020 Executive Order forcing ill-equipped nursing homes to accept Covid-infected patients caused many deaths. It took Cuomo 47 days to reverse the deadly order because he refused to admit he was wrong. And the report also correctly points out that Cuomo inexplicably refused to utilize the thousands of empty beds at the Javits Center, US Comfort and field hospitals all around the state, despite nursing home begging him for that support. And after all of this, Andrew Cuomo and his administration went to great lengths to cover it all up. Whether criminal charges are eventually brought remains to be seen but the families of the 15,000 victims deserve more answers and they deserve justice."Robert Astorino, running for NY Governor https://nypost.com/2021/06/15/cuomo-nursing-home-order-caused-more-deaths-task-force/
