Trump-Run DOJ Is Going to Investigate the ICE Shooting, Huh?

David Kurtz: The top officials at the Justice Department and the FBI have shown themselves again and again to be beholden to the president, spending most of their days fawning over him and trying to stay in the good graces of his White House. They have demonstrated no independence of thought or action from this president.

Blatant politicization of DOJ powers. "The assistant attorney general will not work out of the Justice Department, the vice president said. Instead, the position will be run out of the White House and overseen by President Trump and Vance, he said."

So why would the federal government have to investigate the murder if ICE agent Jonathan Ross has what JD Vance described as "absolute immunity"?

More from the cited link...

... Vance said. "The precedent here is very simple. You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action."

"That's a federal issue," the vice president added. "That guy is protected by absolute immunity. He was doing his job." ...

I can already tell you the findings.

Good was a fat lesbian who didn't like Trump, so she's a domestic terrorist and deserved to get shot in the face, and the officer who shot her is a hero.

Basically what lfilth has been posting from the start.

#12 Thank you for your in-kind contributions to the Democratic Party and its candidates.

No need to spend a single dime pointing out how stupid, illiterate, gullible, and naive you people are...

... when there are people like rightnut bushlover2 afkabl2 shrimpsizedgenitalshiddenbyataco"Danielle" who willingly volunteer their efforts proving that objective reality.

Bravo, rightnut bushlover2 afkabl2 shrimpsizedgenitalshiddenbyataco"Danielle"

Given the murder appears to be a crime of passion----Second Degree Murder and not Manslaughter.

I was at my kid's Pop Warner end of season picnic. One of the team moms, her husband is a sheriff's deputy. He was wearing a "Don't Tread on Me" shirt. I was thinking'"You're doing the damn treading"!
