Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

Minnesota leaders are calling on the federal government to allow state investigators to probe the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old woman by an ICE agent in south Minneapolis, after the FBI took sole ownership of the probe. "The FBI informed the [Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension] that the U.S. Attorney's Office had reversed course: the investigation would now be led solely by the FBI," said the state's top investigative agency. Gov. Tim Walz pushed back on the federal government on Jan. 8, saying, "Minnesota must be part of this investigation." State Attorney General Keith Ellison also addressed federal authorities during a CNN interview: "My question is, what are you afraid of? What are you afraid of an independent investigation for?"

The assassination of JFK on 22 Nov 1963 was a local matter that was being legally investigated by the Dallas Police Department.

At the time presidential murder was not a federal offense, but a crime committed under whichever local jurisdiction.

The federal government immediately and unlawfully took over the investigation. Against the wishes of the Dallas PD, the USSS flew JFK's body back to Wash DC when it should have stayed at the city morgue.

The botched federal investigation and follow-up Warren Commission raised more questions than it answered.

What could possibly go wrong with D/FBI Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel taking over the investigation of this murder in Minneapolis indeed.
