A meeting today could decide the fate of two Detroit Police Officers. Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison said earlier this week that he intends to fire an officer and a sergeant, who he says broke policy. wxyz.com/news/dpd-offic…

Whitmer’s Scandalous Nursing Home Cover-Up I paid more than $3,000 for Michigan nursing home death and infection data, and all I got were fully redacted documents from Dana Nessel’s office By Charlie LeDuff @Charlieleduff Now that we’ve proven that Attorney General Dana Nessel participated in the cover up of the abuse of a brain-damaged nursing home resident during Covid, and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer stood idly by, it’s time to address the mammoth scandal. What about the 130,000 other people in the long-term care facilities who were locked away in the darkness of the pandemic? How many died? And what did they die from? Loneliness? Or Covid contracted from the infected people Whitmer ordered into the nursing homes? We’ve never gotten the answer. And I suspect a massive cover-up is being conducted at the highest levels of state government. Some quick background. In August 2020, the Justice Department opened a civil-rights investigation into five governors, including Whitmer, who ordered nursing homes to accept people contaminated with Covid. Among other things, the feds demanded Michigan’s nursing home death and infection data, as well as Whitmer’s “scientific” reasoning for commingling the sick with the healthy. Whitmer’s team responded about a month later. But the public was never told what Whitmer sent to the DOJ. So, I sent a public records request to Whitmer’s lawyer, Dana Nessel, last April. First, Nessel demanded that I pay an outrageous sum of $3,147.80 in order to get those documents. I paid. More than 200 days went by, and I received nothing. That’s illegal. Michigan’s Freedom of Information Act clearly states she had 21 days to produce the goods. So I sued. Now, finally, after 272 days, I received a thumb drive from Nessel’s office containing 596 pages of NOTHING. Nearly all the documents were redacted. Think about that. After years of bombarding the public with a vomit of Covid data, suddenly that data has become a state secret. What was not redacted was my demand letter, and the DOJ’s demand letter, and the Michigan State Senate’s subpoena demanding Whitmer’s response to the DOJ. Beyond a few “Good Morning, Al”s and “Thanks, Bob”s, Nessel blacked everything out—hiding under a blanket claim of attorney client privilege. I’ve got a Doberman of an attorney, Phil Ellison, who will take my complaints over the cost, the delay, and the Nixonian redactions all the way to the Supreme Court, if that’s what it takes. We deserve to know what happened to our loved ones. We deserve better end-of-life care in Michigan. Not a cover-up. Remember, Whitmer claimed she was making pandemic-era decisions on “science and data,” and the flopping fish of corporate media swallowed her asininity hook, line, and sinker. Not me. I sued Whitmer and Nessel in 2021 for that supposed science and data. I won that case, just as I will win this one, and was shocked to learn there was no reliable death data. Nursing homes simply made up numbers to make their facilities look better than they were, and Whitmer dutifully defended it. When I exposed the scandal, the Michigan House of Representatives ordered a full audit of the nursing home dead. The state Auditor General found the long-term facility toll to be 43% higher than what Whitmer was telling the public. It was as bad as Cuomo’s New York, maybe worse. To this day, Whitmer’s administration has not corrected the data. Disregarding the auditor’s report, Nessel delivered the keynote address at the annual convention of the Michigan nursing home lobby. “I’m just tired of hearing it regurgitated over and over and over again that terrible things happened at your facilities,” she screeched. “It’s not true!” But how would she know? Nessel refused then, as she does now, to conduct the most cursory investigation. She refutes the auditor’s findings as “comparing apples to oranges.” She redacts entire documents. She takes money from the nursing homes’ owners rather than investigating credible allegations that they may have funneled Covid profits to subsidiaries while providing poor-quality care. Nessel, who aided and abetted the alleged financial rape and mental abuse of the late-Rose Burd, must step aside or be moved to the side. And Whitmer? I am a patient man. Justice is a right, not an option.

Macomb County Clerk's office says Michigan Secretary of State's office said "we're not gonna touch this" when presented with allegations of non-citizens on jury pool and voter rolls. Sec. of State Jocelyn Benson has not responded to this story. Follow me here-- @DaveBondyTV for updates.
