They do realize that covering up a crime is conspiracy right? Conspiracy involving a murder is exactly the same as murder. One for all and all for one. There is no statute of limitations either. This is one that Trump followers should back off of … even the FBI can be brought up on state charges.
So if someone had snagged a photo of one of the murderers who lives in Texas, would they be banned for posting it?
Well of course. The FBI is apparently full of fascists now, and it’s their buddies who committed the murders.
Tell your senator, as I told mine, shut down DHS entirely until the agents are arraigned.
Gee. Can’t imagine why.
Prediction: they will suddenly “be willing to share” once the case has already gained traction, just so they can try to derail it.
More like after they lose the prelim injunction and the stay pending appeal. My guess, in the 8th circuit, is that they stand a chance at winning the stay pending appeal, which would let them keep rolling for a while.
It’s a non trivial piece of 10th amendment litigation. Maybe Minnesota has a sovereign right to investigate a homicide. But does that oblige the feds to do or not do something? Does it matter if the feds are the only way to get critical evidence? Is it important whether the feds are actively trying to thwart and deny MN’s police power? Does MN have to prove they can beat the Supremacy Clause on this case before they can get stuff?
Obliged or not when there is an investigation, there are valid reasons to not assist. From protected information to 5th amendment stuff. However, if they defy a court order to hand it over, that would be a crisis.
It needs to be requested by a judge not an officer.
Take it by force then, they’re not complying so why let them get away with it?
Civil War it is then.
