17 February 2021: FBI, Biden DOJ Starting Investigation of Cuomo Coverup

FBI, U.S. attorney in Brooklyn probing Cuomo administration on nursing homes

A federal investigation has been initiated, according to this report by the Times Union:

ALBANY — The FBI and the U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn have launched an investigation that is examining, at least in part, the actions of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's coronavirus task force in its handling of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities during the pandemic, the Times Union has learned.

The probe by the U.S. attorney's office in the Eastern District of New York is apparently in its early stages and is focusing on the work of some of the senior members of the governor's task force, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter who is not authorized to comment publicly.

While this action is long overdue, the questions now are "how independent is the investigation?" and "how serious is the investigation?"
