Janice Dean: Could Gov. Cuomo's COVID 'leadership' book finally bring his downfall? Why I have hope
For his book of what I would call true crimes not leadership, Gov. Cuomo was given an advance of $5.1 million
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Last month we found out how much New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo received for his disgusting and possibly criminal book "American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic."
When families who lost loved ones to COVID in nursing homes found out he was writing a book about his "leadership" during the pandemic, we thought it was a joke.
But the joke was on us, and for his book of what I would call true crimes not leadership, he was given an advance from Crown Publishers of $5.1 million.

So while Cuomo was trying to sell his lies on a page to the highest bidder, a COVID-19 fire was spreading through nursing homes where our most vulnerable lived.
FEDERAL PROSECUTORS SUBPOENA MATERIALS TIED TO CUOMO’S MEMOIR, REPORT SAYS
The timeline of when the governor began covering up the deaths of the over 15,000 seniors we lost to COVID-19 in eldercare facilities appears to line up with the governor’s profitable pitch to publishers.

Wouldn’t it be something if the words that Gov. Cuomo wrote congratulating himself on his incredible leadership during a pandemic would end up leading to his downfall?
Last fall most of the liberal networks and chat shows helped the governor rack up book sales, and in interviews hosts rarely used the opportunity to ask real questions about the nursing home tragedy. Instead, they fawned and complimented their pandemic politician on what a wonderful job he was doing in New York.

"Federal Prosecutors Subpoena Material Related to Andrew Cuomo's Book"

The Department of Justice is reportedly asking for documents that would have been used during the book pitching process to publishers, and subpoenas have been issued as prosecutors continue to probe the details of the nursing home tragedy as it pertains to the contents in his book.

There’s no question that for families that lost loved ones, his vile tome of lies should be thrown at him. A court of law would be quite appropriate.
