    This lady?

    During her tenure as administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the HHS Inspector General in July 2020 concluded that she spent more than $5 million in federal contracts on politically connected contractors and violated federal contracting rules.[4] More than $3.5 million of taxpayer funds were spent on consultants to promote Verma's public profile.[5] These findings were further reinforced when in September 2020 an independent panel of Congressional oversight committees concluded that "Congress did not intend for taxpayer dollars to be spent on handpicked communications consultants used to promote Administrator Verma’s public profile and personal brand. Administrator Verma has shown reckless disregard for the public’s trust. We believe she should personally reimburse the taxpayers for these inappropriate expenditures."

    Not sure I'm going to take her word for....anything.
    How about Cuomo's own staff. Does that work for you?

    That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

        There's not one word in that article that indicates that any CDC guidance was ignored. Big internal kerfuffle over what numbers were reported and when and how they were broken down, but nothing else.

        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.”


        DOJ is satisfied - why aren't you?
        If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

          As I wrote before, I don't think he's catching flak because NY is either better off or worse off than other states. No one is saying that.

          He's catching flak because he lied about it to his own legislature. That's all. But, he seems to be doubling down on it now by restating the old "we just followed the CDC" argument he used last summer, which as has been pointed out by many articles, simply isn't true.
          Even if he did, who gives a ****? It’s not like giving them different information would have changed anything.

            Sooooo....if I become President, no AEI hacks in charge of actual governmental policy? Got it.

              I don't think it's the DOJ that is giving Cuomo flak. Again, as I posted before, it appears to be an issue between Cuomo and people within his own state government, including people within his own party in state government.

              Other than a little Dem on Dem violence here, which is amusing to watch, as I said earlier, I really don't care.

                Sure. That's what Cuomo's taking heat for.

                Nothing there supports your initial allegation. Do better.

                    Psst. He's not arguing in good faith. His conclusions are predetermined, like the Senate "jury." Pay him no mind, it is fruitless to argue.

                    Either he knows he's spreading RWNJ propaganda, in which case he's cynical, or he doesn't know, in which case he's a rube.

                    Either way, he is not worth your time.

                                I find Hovey to be as big of an egotistical a—hole as everyone else on here, but he’s not wrong on this one. Yeah, he’s maybe flagging it for nefarious reasons, but who cares? We (rightfully) rub his face in sh-t anytime he’s wrong, which is a lot. On this issue though, you yourself said let Democrats, and potentially the Courts, sort this one out. If they determine no harm, no foul, great, move on. But, it has little to do with the current DOJ, federal guidelines, or the GOP. Fellow Ny Democrats are the ones asking questions. If it’s not a big deal like a lot of y’all are saying, it’ll go away quietly.
