Lifezette: Whitmer is facing some serious questions about why she moved COVID-19 patients into vulnerable nursing homes throughout the state.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) has declined a request by congressional Republicans to turn over records and brief committee staffers on the state’s handling of COVID-19 in Michigan’s nursing homes.
As reported by The Detroit News, Governor Whitmer indicated to Republicans on a U.S. House coronavirus committee that she wouldn’t cooperate with their inquiry, saying the panel’s investigatory authority does not lie with individual members and the committee’s jurisdiction cannot be “stretched” to include the health and safety of a state and its residents. “I hope that as members of a federal body tasked with oversight of the federal executive branch during this unprecedented public health crisis you refrain from encroaching on the sovereign power of a state government to deal with state matters,” Whitmer wrote in a letter dated Friday.
Through Sunday, at least 1,979 nursing home residents in Michigan had died of COVID-19, representing a third of confirmed virus deaths in the state. Health officials have reported 7,137 known cases of COVID-19 among nursing facility residents and 3,100 cases among staff. more here
Wasn’t that called “Obstruction of Justice” just a few months ago?

That was political genius ramping up the death count to help ruin the economy. Give that demon some concrete golashes and throw it of its own boat.

Funny how all-of-a-sudden lovers of centralized power don’t want centralized power.
I’m pretty sure conspiracy to commit murder is a federal level crime, I’ve seen that somewhere. Let me think, where was that, oh yeah: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1117.
She is exercising her democrat privilege.
Yes, just like Andrew Johnson in 1863.
Her idea of cooperating is the same as Hillary’s idea of cooperating.
The Democrats have no regard for human life, whether your a baby in the womb or the elderly folk’s. They truly are the party of death. 😢
Phuck em all. They are only of use as targets.
That prissy jerk running the FBI is just waiting for us to strike back so he can loose the full force of the federal government on us.

Agree! How Wray is still the head of the FBI says all you need to know about AG Barr. Unless Barr pulls a rabbit out of a hat in a very short time, his slow-walking will be no less treason than jeff sessions’ bullshit.
Let NOTHING, (as in NOT ONE DAMN THING), get in our way of destroying America……
Communism or bust.
Signed….democrat party
I’m sure that Cuomo in NY will follow her lead.
“Yes, just like Andrew Johnson in 1863.”
Jefferson Davis you old drunken bastard.
Christ, I gave the best years of my life for these people….
Don’t worry old man, we’ll get Rutherford B. Hayes in there to straighten things out…
