The Department of Justice has decided not to investigate whether the civil rights of residents in New York’s government-run nursing homes were violated by Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s controversial admission policy related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a letter Friday, the DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs told US Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), ranking member of that House Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, that New York was off the hook in connection with potential violations of the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act.
In August, the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division requested information from New York in connection with a March 25, 2020, order from the state Department of Health that required nursing homes to admit “medically stable” COVID-19 patients discharged from hospitals.
It also sought records from Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Jersey, which adopted similar rules that the DOJ said “may have resulted in the deaths of thousands of elderly nursing home residents.”

The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division will not be launching investigations into nursing homes in New York and other states whose governors forced facilities to admit COVID-19 patients despite their vulnerable populations, the agency informed GOP lawmakers Friday.
However, an investigation by federal prosecutors into New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his administration over their handling of the crisis remains ongoing.
In a letter to House Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis ranking member Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., Deputy Assistant Attorney General Joe Gaeta wrote that the agency’s Civil Rights Division has “decided not to open a [Civil Rights of Institutional Persons Act] investigation of any public nursing home facility within New York, Pennsylvania, or Michigan at this time” after reviewing information sent to them by the respective states.
The decision appeared to be a measure of good news for Cuomo, and likely better news for Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who like Cuomo are Democrats.

No surprise here. This is the same DOJ that recently announced that inner city crime is a result of white supremist ideology, racism, and the police!
Guaranteed Sen. Rand Paul’s naming of Anthony Fauci in a criminal referral to them for funding gain of function research in Wuhan will go nowhere as well.
Just like the rest of the Biden administration and Biden himself this DOJ is a joke. Going forward expect no justice unless you are a member of Antifa, BLM, or a card carrying member of the democratic communist party, but rest assured that if you are a conservative trying to exercise your first amndment right to protest as on Jan. 6th they will be on you like white on rice!
As America weeps said – no surprise here. Anybody who finds this unusual, shocking, and/or startling is living under a rock. Or they are a good sycophant. And as America weeps also said – NOTHING will happen to Fauci. He’s a member of the Deep State Toxic Septic Sewer Wast System. He is swamp scum and immune to any legal proceeding. Rules for thee, rules for me.
More proof the entire dept of INJUSTICE is totally against WE the people, and SOLELY FOR the govt.
However, an investigation by federal prosecutors into New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his administration over their handling of the crisis remains ongoing.
And we know how that will go as well.
It’ll the way of Shrillary’s Email Scandal ‘investigation’.
I am surprised the Dept of injustice, didn’t ORDER that federal prosecutor to DROP ALL charges.
Justice? We don’t need no stinking justice.
Especially if they are liberals, politicians or rich folks. JUSTICE.. Na… What’s that.
I can still see Joe confidently predicting his Presidential victory , bragging about the deals he cut with Bernie and the communists, knowing full well the game was rigged and the liberal 5th columnists were in place to protect he and his minions from EVER being prosecuted. He was so confident he did not even have to campaign. He had High-Tech, the FBI, the CIA, and the Justice Department all in the bag. Cuomo also knows he cannot be touched, and will even run again for office, he an unrepentant, UNCONVICTED murderer of innocent, trusting, aged Americans. No wonder God has abandoned their party of prevaricating devils parading about as Christians, who first abandoned God. No clean spirit can live in an unclean temple, and the Democrats have fouled up the sacred Houses of THE PEOPLE worse than the Aegean stables that Hercules could only clean by diverting a river through to clean out that swamp. No wonder they all claim to be environmentally fearful of that kind of climate change which will come politically, not environmentally to Washington D.C. when the American Atlas finally gets woke up and shrugs them off his now overburdened shoulders. Democrats must know that if they do not clean their own house, it will all cave in on top of them. Cuomo is not a case of civil rights violations,, but uncivil evil malfeasance that lead to murder.
WHY campaign, when the game was KNOWN TO BE RIGGED from the outset.
The Department Of No Justice. Politicians commit criminal acts, including murder and they are not prosecuted. Hail to criminals and murderers such as Cuomo, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and prosecute innocent citizens. Our Country is upside down.
You can bet, HAD A NORMAL PERSON had done what Cuomo and Witchmer had done, and WILLINGLY SENT SICK folk into a building, that caused others in said building to get infected, THEY WOULD ALREADY BE BEHIND BARS on multiple convictions of at LEAST negligent homicide, if not outright murder…
So much for concern about COVID misinformation.
But, of course, that isn’t what it is about. They don’t want the real truth to surface and reveal all of the misinformation THEY have put out.
Remember, its only “Misinformation”< if we Conservatives put it out there. IF LIBERALS say it, no matter how many times they get caught lying, its "WE clarified our stance!"
It’s doubtful the The Biden DOJ would launch a COVID investigation in any state controlled by a Democrat because they would be going after their own. If the same happened in a Republican state the DOJ would be on it in a minute but those states reactws differently and didn’t create a mess to be cleaned up and swept under the rug. Democrat prosecutors are loathe to go after real criminal unless there is a political that can be exploited!
Biden’s DOJ are criminals advocating murder and who are going to investigate them.
Unfortunately, it seems NO ONE will investigate them..
And even if by some miracle we DID investigate them, i SERIOUSLY DOUBT a single damn thing will happen TO THEM.
Agree with your comments. There would be nonstop 24/7 coverage if Republicans were involved, and investigations galore. Democrats are absolutely a sorry bunch!
All democrats are a complete waste of life and the blood suckers of all that is good and decent for a society to grow and prosper! They gladly eat our rewards and hard honest work like dogs who can keep eating and eating, vomit and continue eating!
Cuomo and the other Democratic governors knew exactly what they were doing. These elderly people were a nuisance and they wanted to get rid of them. Besides, older people tend to vote Republican, It’s Democratic party policy to eliminate the opposition and to exploit any crisis to do so. At this moment Beijing Biden is using military planes to transport diseased undocumenteds to Red states. It is a form of biological warfare.
IT should be seen as biological warfare…
The Democrats are committing murder in their in all of the democratic run states and getting away with it. Tens of thousands of heartbroken Americans was counting on the DOJ to do an honest job and deliver justice for their loved ones. What have these governors promise Biden and his DOJ to commit this communist atrocity. This decision is just out and out criminal, a license for dems to commit murder and get area with it. Especially Cuomo when he had ship in the harbor to house these people. The DOJ inspector general should look into this matter. Biden should not be allowed to make any decisions as he is mentally unstable and this should be investigated thoroughly without biased. This is another cover up for the swamp and the crime boss Biden’s, Obama’s and Clinton’s. The families should March for justice and we as Americans have to clean up our justice departments including the SCOTUS and give them term limits, no more free rides for criminals acts by the DOJ.
This is no surprise. Nothing will be done with Fauci and the “gain of funding” either.
The reason why they don’t want an investigation us because they will find out that not a single person died from a “virus”, because they never isolated a virus that they say causes a disease.
This is a big deal, because it shows you how much they want to cover up the fact that they are using a “virus” to blame for people they simply murdered.
A Dem DOJ is just another flunky for a Dem President while the DOJ for a Republican President is just a place holder for the next Dem flunky. Repubs are afraid of power while Dems seize and abuse it.
What gets me, is we saw ALL THROUGH trump’s reign, the left ATTACKING HIM for tring to do anything to direct the DOJ to actually DO THEIR JOB, as saying “THAT IS WEAPONIZING them”
YET HERE WE SEE the DOIJ being weaponized BY THE DEMS to cover their criminal acts up..
this is all you need to know about the demoncrat party.
no investigations into the fraud they commited on election night and weaponized covid.
these people need to go to jail period dot end of story!
WHY Waste tax payer dollars, housing them in jail. IF THEY ARE THIS guilty of treason, EXECUTE the scumbags..
