The blue-blooded official, who despises the men and women in blue, had blown through almost $250,000 on dining and travel expenses in 5 years by doing things like staying at a five-star hotel in Paris and a London hotel with a rooftop pool overlooking St. Paul’s. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe money came out of the $800 million asset forfeiture fund under Vance’s control which has also been used to send cash to pro-crime groups and legal aid societies. The Manhattan DA’s office is effectively funding its own opposition in court while Vance lives the high life. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd that money is helping protect criminals and put them back on the street. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhile Vance has been demanding to see President Trump’s taxes, and even went to the Supreme Court for his fishing expedition, it’s his own finances that ought to be under scrutiny. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAfter a model complained about being assaulted by Harvey Weinstein, Vance's office chose not to prosecute. One of Weinstein's lawyers was Vance's former law partner who had donated $24,000 to the DA and then another $10,000 after the case was dropped. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThat money was part of the over $2 million that Vance had gotten from lawyers and law firms. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ELike any good public servant, Vance promptly ordered an \"independent review\" of his donations by a non-profit partly funded by the corporate intelligence company that had gone after Harvey Weinstein's accusers. And whose corporate chairman had, obviously, donated to Vance. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EVance's office had pursued the \"investigation\" of the assault by Harvey Weinstein by pressuring the victim's roommates into portraying her as a stripper or a prostitute. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe NYPD’s Manhattan Twitter accounts may have tried to shame Vance, but he has no shame. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIn 2011, Vance’s office had asked a judge to reduce Jeffrey Epstein’s sex offender status to the lowest possible level which would have kept the pedophile off a public registry of sex offenders. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Board of Examiners of Sex Offenders had rated Epstein at a high risk of reoffending. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“I have to tell you, I’m a little overwhelmed because I have never seen a prosecutor’s office do anything like this,” Justice Ruth Pickholz replied. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut Vance and his office often do things you never seen a prosecutor do before. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EEven while New Yorkers are being shot at rates that are taking the city back to the worst days of the 70s and 80s, Vance is obsessively going after associates of President Trump. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EVance is not only chasing Trump's taxes all the way to the Supreme Court, while ignoring the NYPD's outcry over the death toll in Manhattan, he’s also chasing Paul Manafort. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EVance's pursuit of Manafort was already shut down on double jeopardy grounds, but the Trump-chasing DA isn't about to give up on trying the already imprisoned campaign figure on charges of conspiracy and mortgage fraud because Manafort claimed that his daughter was living in his SoHo condo on his mortgage application, when he was actually renting it on AirBnB. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIf everyone in New York who did that sort of thing were put on trial, the prisons would be full. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EMeanwhile, when asked about the huge jump in shootings, the Manhattan DA, flailed, claiming, “You can’t put your finger on what the precise thing is. We’re in the middle of a pandemic where 25,000 New Yorkers have died. So, I think there is fear. There is anger.” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe vast majority of New York City’s pandemic deaths affected senior citizens. That has nothing to do with why gang members are shooting each other on street corners and Vance knows it. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut Vance also knows that he’s facing multiple radical challengers, including a Muslim opponent backed by Linda Sarsour, and that the best way to triumph is by giving the finger to the cops, freeing criminals, denying that the crime wave has anything to do with the jailbreaks, and obsessively pursuing President Trump and his associates on the flimsiest of pretexts. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd that will help Vance win reelection so he can keep on staying at Parisian five-star hotels. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe real bread and butter of the Manhattan DA’s office isn’t putting away the muggers, murderers, rapists, and burglars who are terrorizing the borough like never before. It’s the $800 million slush fund that financed Vance’s lifestyle. And it’s the donations from lawyers and law firms that have stopped coming in once the conflicts of interest grew too serious. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd, without the legal cash, Vance’s best fundraising pitch is going to be targeting Trump. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThat’s why Vance is throwing everything he has at President Trump and his associates while the bodies pile up in the hospitals and the morgues. Even as New Yorkers are shot and killed by the criminals that he ought to be putting away, he knows that his fate will be determined by how incompetently he fights crime and how vigorously he pursues the political enemies of the Left. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThat’s why Amy Cooper was charged and the BLM vandal of St. Patrick’s Cathedral wasn’t. It’s why Vance is threatening cops and freeing BLM rioters. The worse Vance is at fighting crime and the better he is at fighting Trump, the more likely he is to win over Democrat voters. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd that’s why the bodies and the Trump lawsuits are piling up in New York City.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;times new roman\u0026quot;;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/sultanknish.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EDaniel Greenfield\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.

It was a partial reversal, because nursing homes still couldn’t remove infected patients, but hospitals were no longer allowed to discharge infected patients to homes. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECuomo has argued that no one should be prosecuted for nursing home deaths because they would have died anyway. “Older people… are going to die from this virus,” he argued, dismissing the outrage of the families of the dead. “I don't think there's any logical rationale to say that they would be alive today.” \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\"We've tried everything to keep it out of a nursing home, but it's virtually impossible,\" he falsely claimed. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHis grandma-killing administration had tried everything, except providing protective equipment, not sending infected patients into nursing homes, or removing infected patients from nursing homes. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECuomo had tried everything to stop killing grandmas, except not killing grandmas. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EOn March 31st, New Jersey Commissioner of Health Judith Persichilli issued an order stating that in order to achieve \"the expedited receipt of patients\/residents discharging from hospitals\", \"no patient\/resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the post-acute care setting solely based on a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19.\" It was a virtual copy of the earlier New York State order. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ENew Jersey’s own nursing home death toll is approaching New York’s 5,000 death toll. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E10,000 dead grandmas and grandpas haven’t dented the media’s adoration for Cuomo and Murphy. To paraphrase another leftist, a single dead grandma is a tragedy, 10,000 dead grandmas are a statistic. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut before New York and New Jersey had even made their move, Governor Tom Wolf’s grandma-killing administration had ordered Pennsylvania nursing homes to accept \"readmissions for current residents who have been discharged from the hospital\" in order to \"alleviate the increasing burden in the acute care settings\" including \"patients who have had the COVID-19 virus.\" \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWolf’s Secretary of Health, Dr. Richard (Rachel) Levine, had transferred his own mother out of a nursing home and to a hotel. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“Dr. Levine has done a phenomenal job of making sure that we do what we need to do in keeping Pennsylvanians safe,” Governor Wolf insisted. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThat phenomenal job amounts to 2,529 coronavirus deaths in nursing homes or 68% of the state's deaths. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EOn March 30th, Governor Newsom’s administration warned skilled nursing facilities that they \"shall not refuse to admit or readmit a resident based on their status as a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 case.\" \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“California’s directive is nothing less than a death sentence for countless residents,\" warned Patricia McGinnis, executive director of California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“I’m not taking in a COVID-positive patient for the sole purpose of emptying one hospital bed. In two weeks, I’m sending them back 20 new patients,” Dr. Noah Marco, the Chief Medical Officer of the Los Angeles Jewish Home, said. Half of California's deaths, or 1,276, have occurred in nursing homes, though not all are the SNFs that were ordered to accept coronavirus patients. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhitmer, Cuomo, Wolf, and Newsom have been widely praised by the media, even though their disastrous policies likely led to the deaths of thousands of senior citizens in nursing homes. There were states that got it right, protecting senior citizens by barring the transfer of coronavirus patients to nursing homes, requiring negative tests before a transfer, and creating separate facilities. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECuomo, Wolf, Whitmer, and Newsom, not only failed to protect nursing home residents, but their forced readmission policy brought infected patients directly into nursing homes, leading to mass death. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E5% of the residents in New York nursing homes are dead, that’s grandma-killing on a genocidal scale. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhile New York had banned testing as a basis for nursing home admission, in Florida, a “COVID-19 test must be negative prior to transfer to a post-acute facility”. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EGovernor DeSantis noted that his ban on sending coronavirus patients to nursing homes is the reason why the nursing home death toll was 13 times higher in New York and 25 times higher in New Jersey. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe media falsely claims that after at least 12,000 dead grandmas and grandpas Cuomo, Whitmer, Murphy, and Newsom did a wonderful job, and DeSantis did a terrible one. Their measure of success isn’t in grandmas saved, but in small businesses shut down, people terrified, and government power made absolute. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd if the media gets to write the history of the pandemic, that is what our children will be taught. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThey will learn that in an emergency, wise governors listening to learned experts deprived people of their civil liberties and stopped a catastrophe that could have been much worse. That revisionist history will become the model for handling future crises. A big lie paid for in countless thousands of lives. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe big lie must not be allowed to stand and the truth must shake our political system until it rings. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\"Who can we prosecute for those deaths? Nobody. Mother Nature, God?\" Cuomo asked rhetorically. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EGovernor Cuomo says that no one should be prosecuted for the nursing home deaths. He’s wrong. The prosecutions should begin with him and tear through the bureaucrats who made and implemented those decisions. Millions of people trusted Cuomo and other Democrat officials to keep them safe. Instead they seized power, abused their authority, and killed enough grandmas to fill miles of cemetery. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe grandma-killing governors must be brought to justice. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhen a violent thug was shot by a police officer in a small city in Missouri, the Obama administration came down on Ferguson with an iron fist. How is it possible that thousands of nursing home residents can die, that grandmothers and grandfathers, that 127 veterans in New Jersey’s state-run nursing homes, that 5% of New York’s nursing home population can perish with less care than the concern about a thug? \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhat do we amount to as a country if we not only let that happen, but let them get away with it? \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThousands of men and women who worked all their lives and paid their taxes, who raised families, who wanted to watch their grandchildren grow up, died in large enough numbers that their bodies piled up in sheds, and the same nation that ground to a halt for Michael Brown and Freddie Gray shrugs. Where is even a fraction of the outrage that has been lavished on Ahmaud Aubrey for those thousands of wrinkled men and women, black and white, gasping out their last breaths in nursing home beds? \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECuomo, Whitmer, Murphy, and Newsom did not believe that they were worth saving. If we do not speak the truth, if we do not fight for justice for them, then are we as a nation really worth saving?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;times new roman\u0026quot;;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/sultanknish.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EDaniel Greenfield\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
