The good news is that SIX seasoned federal prosecutors in Minnesota have resigned rather than engage in a bogus 'investigation' of Renee Good and her wife rather than investigating Good's killer.
The bad news is that there are now six fewer honest, dedicated federal prosecutors with DOJ.

Trump is using ICE to terrorize our cities. He is using DOJ to target his political opponents. He will eventually try to steal the 2026 election. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and unbowed. Become a member now to help support its work and to stay informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Just to be clear, the FBI has surely destroyed evidence and impeded a legitimate investigation into this case. Just horrific to see how they treat a homicide with such disrepect to the criminal justice system. You'd think the GOP would be horrified. But of course they aren't.

Sad that our health care & safety are returning to the Middle Ages under the incompetent leadership of Trump & Bobby Kennedy. After Trump's complete failure in responding to Covid, he wants to inflict even more sickness & death.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.
