It's still a cover-up
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from Epstein files release.
DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Goon is pointing a B&T GL06 grenade launcher and shooting someone at point-blank range with this so-called

It seems like anyone that wants to commit crimes without accountability is applying for jobs with ICE and they’re being hired. ICE is full of dangerous people that want to hurt people. I don’t want to pay for that.
