It was only when Attorney General Letitia James faulted the state’s nursing-home data that the Cuomo administration’s stonewall started crumbling. And it took a court victory by the Empire Center, and a judge’s order, to finally flush out the full truth on behalf of more than 15,000 long-term care residents who died — and 15,000 families who lost loved ones.
DeRosa’s implausible apology came Feb. 10, which was also the deadline for the state to comply with the court order. That’s probably no coincidence.
The bottom line: Cuomo and his administration deceived New Yorkers as long as they could and told the truth only when state Supreme Court Justice Kimberly O’Connor forced them to.
For most of the past year, it was the Cuomo administration — not Donald Trump — that withheld public records in violation of state law and in defiance of the state Legislature.
If nothing else, DeRosa’s statement makes clear that the governor and his people did so intentionally and were at least partly motivated by protecting their own interests rather than the public health.
So what are the lawmakers in that meeting — and the rest of the Legislature — going to do about it?

Nothing...just talk...
I left the state in 1980...best thing I ever did..
This is bad, even for a Democrat with MSM protection. It illustrates how deadly it can be to put Democrats in power.
Cuomo is now expendable since Trump is out of office. I figure the left will sacrifice him to protect others who are just as culpable in other Dem-run states.
“Cuomo is now expendable...”
Probably just get a slap on the wrist, if that much, since he’s a Rat, and still stay in office.
Will the twin pillars - California and New York both fall ?
Too bad this didn’t take place in Japan. There, Cuomo would know what to do (although he’s probably too spineless to do it.)
Hope this is Cuomo’s bridgegate and his political career goes down the tubes. I cannot stand seeing those two idiot brothers
using free air wave time to advance each other’s career. Their old man must be looking up from hell after destroying the state and cursing his son’s accusers.
No surprise here. Cuomo is a loud-mouthed, incompetent coward.
Newsome is out. 1.5 mil votes to get rid of him thru a recall. Not sure when that process will start.
Why did this leftist AG turn the guns on the anointed Andrew Cuomo?
He was on deck to run for President but maybe they think he is too far right for the Soros left?
They are crushing him.
Don’t get me wrong, he certainly deserves it, but why are they eating their own ....is it to protect Khlamydia Harris?
Of course it doesn’t add up.
The thing us, they know it doesn’t have to.
Media covers for them and general public doesn’t have the capacity to think critically.
Cuomo has been plotting to become president since his POS father ordained him at birth.
Biden has given Cuomo no role in his administration which is quite telling. There is now no plan for him to become president assuming that Kameltoe Harris becomes president in two years and then can run for two more terms. That does not leave much room for the 63 year old scumbag.
Melissa DeRosa’s father is a partner in one of the most prominent NY lobbying firms. Her husband is an executive with Uber. Uber received preferential treatment when state law had to be changed to allow Uber to operate outside of NYC. She apologizes to democrat lawmakers, but not the families of those who are dead.
She needs to be fired and prosecuted. Cuomo needs to be impeached and imprisoned along with Howard Zucker.
Now DeBlasio is on the blame Cuomo bandwagon as is Cuomo’s handpicked AG Letitia James. The left are eating their own, but I think this goes much deeper than the nursing home fiasco.
