Newly sworn-in Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg announced on Monday that his office will NOT bring charges against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo over his handling of nursing homes in the opening months of the pandemic:

Tell us more about “one standard of justice for all”. . . .
I am honored by the trust placed in me, motivated by the challenge in front of us, and ready to work together—to make our communities safer, our city more just, and to deliver one standard of justice for all. #JusticeCantWait pic.twitter.com/UR4fFAG0AB

And Bragg is still investigating former President Trump:

Janice Dean, rightfully so, was furious at the news:
The new Manhattan DA is excusing our former corrupt governor of several charges he was facing regarding nursing homes and sexual assault. There are still investigations underway with FBI, DOJ eastern district and AG but there’s no doubt they’re making deals with the devil.

No, we won’t forget:
We won’t forget how you conveniently dropped charges against Andrew Cuomo just hours after being sworn into office. There are thousands of families still fighting for answers despite your negligence. https://t.co/pegfFB5LQe

Dean also called out former Manhattan DA, Cy Vance:
It all makes sense now.
According to @nypost, outgoing DA Cy Vance was the one that quashed the nursing home probe before @AlvinBraggNYC was sworn in. Cuomo has a history of bailing out his buddy Vance, and so it all makes sense. A deal was made. https://t.co/jtc4JTOrAS— Janice Dean (@JaniceDean) January 4, 2022
It’s a pattern:
Here a list of all the DA’s (so far) that have been dropping cases against Andrew Cuomo despite “credible” and “deeply troubling” evidence: @WestchesterDA @NassauDA @AlvinBraggNYC @DavidSoaresNY.

Janice also warned that Cuomo “still has bags of money and leftover power to burn”:
Andrew Cuomo made lots of deals before he left office. He still has bags of money and leftover power to burn.

“Not to mention very weak lawmakers who have no spine or moral compass”:

“There’s no doubt he made deals before he left office, and they are now helping him get away with his crimes”:
I am grateful to all the brave women who came forward and risked their careers and reputation to go against a powerful, corrupt, abusive leader and his enablers. There's no doubt he made deals before he left office, and they are now helping him get away with his crimes.

And thank you for continuing to point this out:
He’s still awful and so are the ones helping him get away with his awfulness. pic.twitter.com/vfxTvKYphN
