Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is now the subject of a DOJ investigation for allegedly lying to Congress about his deadly COVID nursing home policy. You remember that mess—Cuomo ordered nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients, then his team played shell games with the death numbers. People died. Elderly people. And now, after years of dodging accountability, someone at DOJ finally decided to check the receipts.

Well, well, well—look who’s suddenly allergic to “lawfare.”

Naturally, Cuomo is calling it election interference. Because of course he is. He’s trying to claw his way back into relevance by running for NYC mayor, and now that the feds are poking around, it’s all a big political hit job. Funny how that works.

Cuomo calling the nursing home investigation political is like blaming the smoke alarm for the fire.

Hey @andrewcuomo

YOU signed the order!
YOU hid the numbers!
Now YOU’RE the victim?

Justice isn’t partisan-it’s WAY overdue for our families!

When Donald Trump was hauled into court more times than your average drug kingpin, the media called it justice. “No one is above the law!” they screeched on every channel. But now that their guy is under the microscope for covering up nursing home deaths? Suddenly, it’s “weaponized government” and “unprecedented overreach.”

Give me a break.

Why it matters: The New York Times first reported that the investigation into Cuomo over decisions he made as governor during the COVID pandemic began about a month ago, after the DOJ moved to have the criminal corruption case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams dismissed.

“That puts the Trump administration in the unusual position of having ended a criminal case against the leader of the nation’s largest city — Mr. Adams, who is running for re-election as an independent — and opened one into his chief rival, Mr. Cuomo, who is leading the Democratic primary field in the polls, in the span of a few months,” the NYT noted. – Axios

And here comes the spin. They’ll try to lump this in with the dropped case against Eric Adams, like it’s all the same thing. It’s not. Adams’ mess has nothing to do with what Cuomo’s being looked at for. But watch—Cuomo’s crew is gonna start pointing fingers any minute now. Deflection is the playbook.

Book Deals And Body Count

Cuomo’s COVID scandal wasn’t just a policy blunder—it was a full-on bureaucratic cover-up. His office admitted they withheld data because they were afraid it would make them look bad. And don’t forget: this is the same Cuomo who cashed in on the chaos with a book deal, won an Emmy, and strutted around cable news like he cured the virus with a press conference and a leather jacket.

Now, with the DOJ finally sniffing around, he’s clutching his campaign slogan like a shield and whining about political persecution. Welcome to the world y’all created.

Here’s the bottom line: if Trump sneezing too loud was grounds for indictment, then Cuomo lying to Congress about real, measurable deaths damn well deserves a federal probe. Equal justice, right? Or does that only apply when the target has an R next to their name?

Cuomo Blames The Pols, Not The Bodies

Now Cuomo wants you to believe the only reason the DOJ is sniffing around is because—get this—he’s leading in the NYC mayoral polls. That’s his story. Not the thousands of dead nursing home residents. Not the shredded data. Not the lie-riddled testimony to Congress. Nope. Just poll numbers. Apparently, his comeback is so “threatening” that the entire federal government had to mobilize to stop him. The arrogance is exhausting. But hey, when you’ve spent your career skating past consequences, I guess it’s natural to assume you’re still untouchable.

Nice try, Andy. Playing the victim won’t erase what happened. You’re not under investigation because you’re leading in the polls. That’s the excuse a career politician makes when accountability finally knocks. Maybe you’re just salty that Eric Adams got his case dropped and you didn’t. But this isn’t about political jealousy—it’s about the fact that your office buried the truth. Nursing home deaths, bad policy, falsified reports—you didn’t just fumble the response, you tried to hide the damage.

Good luck out there. You’re gonna need it.
