The recent admission by Melissa DeRosa, secretary to Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY), that the management of the COVID pandemic was bungled and then covered up, has brought demands that Cuomo be impeached and prosecuted. The admission was contained in a phone conversation with the state’s leading Democrats in which DeRosa apologized for causing political difficulties for the Party.
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) said “a tragic error in judgment followed by intentional deception cannot be swept into the ‘memory hole.’ Nine thousand people needlessly died because of this error. Honesty in the early stages of the pandemic could have led to a life-saving change of course. The decision to brazen it out in order not to dim the political aspirations of the Governor was criminal obstruction of justice. The perpetrators of these crimes must be held accountable.”
DeRosa pointed out that “Stefanik’s acknowledgment that this was a ‘tragic error in judgment’ admits that there was no criminal intent. The decision to mislead the general public was not done just to protect the Governor’s future political viability. It was done out of patriotic concern that the tragedy would be used to reflect badly on Democrats in general and aid in the reelection of the most dangerous man to ever hold the office of President of the United States.”
Cuomo himself has argued that “no permanent damage was done. All of the nursing home victims were old folks near the end of their lives. It was only a matter of time—and not much time at that—before they all would’ve died anyway. By hushing up news about what happened we did the nation a much greater service by focusing the blame for COVID on Trump and inducing voters to deny him reelection, thereby, prevented an extension of his tyranny over America.”
DeRosa brushed aside the potential threat of impeachment and prosecution, saying “with Democrat majorities in both the New York Assembly and Senate, a Democrat State Attorney General, and total Democrat control of the federal government I don’t see how anyone could expect either of these punitive outcomes to transpire. On top of this, if worst comes to worst the Governor can pardon himself for any crimes successfully prosecuted at the state level and President Biden can pardon him for any alleged federal offenses. Luckily, our friends in the major media are not giving much coverage to this over-hyped controversy.”
In other COVID news, the Biden White House leaked former President Trump’s medical records to the media. These records showed that Trump’s COVID case was more serious than he let on last October. Press Secretary Jen Psaki called Trump’s effort to downplay the extent of his illness “a shameful attempt to mislead voters heading into the November election. Clearly it was done for political reasons. A big part of Trump’s campaign focused on the supposed infirmities of Joe Biden. While this deception didn’t fool enough voters to change the outcome, nevertheless it was a dirty trick of the sort that Republicans routinely deploy during elections.”

skating away on the thin ice of a new day
A dem never has to pay for their crimes!
Semi satire or not, the only reason any of this is happening is because Letitia James wants to be Governor. Nothing more.
If it weren’t for that, none but the family members would care.
It’s inconceivable that any Democrat, post Hillary, could be accused of a crime or convicted if accused. They have either infiltrated or own outright the organizations that might develop a case against them. Even with a Republican in the White House, it was impossible to make the swamp even credibly investigate an issue involving Democrats. The results of the Durham probe where they let skate the FBI lawyer (Kevin Clinesmith) who altered an email and used it to indict and financially ruin innocent conservatives shows us there IS NO JUSTICE. Hillary uses Bleach Bit to destroy evidence under subpoena and they don’t even take notes while interviewing her. But let a sailor take a selfie on a submarine and it’s off to prison.
Our legal system is so corrupt it’s indistinguishable from one in Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia, except they have a generous retirement, including medical and dental. My former lawyer said, “There is no justice. And, if there is, it’s an accident.”
Remember, Tywin Lannister thought he had it all in the bag, until Tyrion opened the door to the privy with a crossbow in hand ..... jus’ sayin’.
