she said the Cuomo administration had rebuffed a legislative request for the tally in August because “right around the same time, [then-President Donald Trump] turns this into a giant political football,” according to an audio recording of the two-hour-plus meeting.

“He starts tweeting that we killed everyone in nursing homes,” DeRosa said. “He starts going after [New Jersey Gov. Phil] Murphy, starts going after [California Gov. Gavin] Newsom, starts going after [Michigan Gov.] Gretchen Whitmer.”

In addition to attacking Cuomo’s fellow Democratic governors, DeRosa said, Trump “directs the Department of Justice to do an investigation into us.”

“And basically, we froze,” she told the lawmakers on the call.

Yeah guys, remember when Trump turned COVID deaths into a giant political football in August? Boy, it sure was disrespectful of him to use COVID as a political weapon in August, completely out of nowhere. No one--certainly no Democrats--ever used COVID as a cudgel to attack their political opponents before that. How disgraceful!

I like how her justification for why they hid the data basically amounts to "Trump accused us of doing what we were doing, so we froze up and hid the data because we were worried that the evidence of our guilt might be used as evidence of our guilt."

During Wednesday’s conference call, DeRosa said it appeared the DOJ was no longer focused on New York’s nursing home deaths.

“All signs point to they are not looking at this, they’ve dropped it,” she said.

“They never formally opened an investigation. They sent a letter asking a number of questions and then we satisfied those questions and it appears that they’re gone.”

And of course, because the DOJ was never going to actually investigate a Democrat, and certainly not now that Biden is fucking the country in the ass, they get away with it. More than 10,000 deaths in New York nursing homes, many of which may not have needed to happen, and they'll just dust their hands of it like it was nothing.
