DOJ Won’t Investigate Whitmer For Nursing Home Deaths

July 24, 2021

The Biden administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Thursday that it will not investigate COVID 19-related nursing home deaths under tyrannical Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

“We have decided not to open a CRIPA (Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act) investigation of any public nursing facility within Michigan at this time,” wrote Steven Rosenbaum, chief of the special litigation section for the department’s civil rights division, in a letter to Whitmer’s chief legal counsel.

“The Biden Department of Justice has chosen to put partisan politics ahead of accountability in deciding not to investigate Gov. Whitmer’s deadly policy of putting coronavirus-infected patients into nursing homes and exposing the most vulnerable to the disease,” wrote Tudor Dixon, one of Whitmer’s Republican challengers, in a statement. Dixon’s grandmother died alone in a nursing home during Whitmer’s lockdown.

“Gov. Whitmer’s actions were unforgivable and will not be forgotten by the thousands of families that needlessly suffered the loss of a loved one,” she continued. “I’m encouraged that competent law enforcement leaders like Macomb County Prosecutor Pete Lucido are investigating these unnecessary deaths in Gov. Whitmer’s war on nursing homes. These many victims deserve justice.”

Lucido announced an investigation into the deaths in his jurisdiction. “If we find there’s been willful neglect of office, if we find there’s been reckless endangerment of a person’s life by bringing them in, then we would move forward with charges against the Governor. Of course, we would. Nobody’s above the law in this state.”
