Rob Lauer Political Reporter

The GOP launched a $2.5 million TV blitz title “Cronyism” highlighting Sisolak’s CV testing scandal 360 News reported on in depths since it first broke a few months ago.

Republican Political strategists, Jeremy Hughes, issued the following statement in support of the new TV

“While Nevadans were battling the pandemic, @GovSisolak

was fast-tracking shady contracts for a COVID testing company at the request of his campaign donor. The only problem? The company got 96% of their results WRONG. Sisolak will pay for his corruption in November”

NV GOV. STEVE SISOLAK UNDER FEDERAL INVESTIGATION FOR CV TESTING SCAM

In September 2021, Northshore Clinical Labs, a Nevada CV testing lab contractor who was recently bought out by convicted conman and felon, Hirsh Mohindra. Northshore also hired former Assembly Speaker Richard Perkins’s firm to expedite Northshore’s Nevada licensing.

According to reports, Perkin’s partner, Mike Willden, a former director of the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, called the Governor’s office to help get Northshore’s lab testing licenses expedited. Willden lobbied Sisolak’s chief of staff, Yvanna Cancela, who pressured the director of the state’s pandemic response, who pressured the head of the state’s licensing bureau, Cody Phinney. She in turn moved up its inspection of Northshore’s Nevada headquarters in Las Vegas over the objections of Inspector Bradley Waples. Waples claims he was allegedly pressured to move Northshore to the head of the line under protest.

Following Northshore’s approval, Nevada government agencies, including Nevada universities, public schools, and government employees were required to get weekly CV testing. Governor Sisolak then required regular testing for student-athletes, coaches, and others participating in school activities. Vaccine mandates required unvaccinated employees across the state to get tested weekly.

Northshore, all of a sudden, had thousands of new customers who needed weekly testing even without a surge of infections. And for each person, Northshore was paid by the Feds $165 and $260 for administering the two tests, claiming they were uninsured. Northshore pocketed $165 Million, according to federal reports.

But Northshore’s testing results at the University of Nevada Reno drew the attention of the Director of the Student Health Center, Dr. Cheryl Hug-English who ran her own investigation into Northshore testing with the state lab. And she discovered that more than 96% of the PCR results from the Nevada State lab that came back positive, Northshore reported as negative.

Now a whistle blower, Andrew Gorzalski, Nevada state lab’s molecular supervisor, is claiming that:

“Northshore’s COVID-19 tests missed 96% of positive cases has now suggested that Northshore never even ran the tests.”

According to a May 17th email obtained by ProPublica, Federal Special Agent Peter Theiler with the Inspector General’s Office of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said he plans to subpoena documents from Northshore, Nevada health officials, and from Governor Sisolak.

FEDS’ EMAIL to Sisolak obtained by 360 News

Yet a Google search of Northshore and Sisolak shows not one of our local news outlets is reporting that Sisolak is also under Federal investigation and that documents from his office are being requested under threat of subpoenae. No word yet if a Federal Grand Jury has been opened. Can we trust the Biden DOJ to investigate Democrat Gov. Steve Sisolak?

“Sisolak’s friends made millions, and we paid the price,” said Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo, one of 10 GOP contenders in the primary for governor.

But many Nevadans have real questions about whether they can trust Democrat Attorney General, Aaron Ford, to investigate his friend and political ally, Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak. Even Tisha Black, who’s running on the Republican ticket for Attorney General seems to be conflicted out of any possible Sisolak investigation. And then there is the newly crowned U.S. Attorney for Southern Nevada, Jason Frierson, the former (D) Assembly Speaker and a close political ally of Sisolak. Enter Sigal Chattah.
