The cover up, demonization of the victim, and lies concerning the killing by the masked gunman are collapsing.
The Trumpers' resistance to normal law enforcement procedures will fail.
Thirty-four former Minnesota federal prosecutors are urging the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office to work collaboratively with state authorities on the investigation into the deadly ICE shooting, which is being led solely by the FBI.
The letter -- signed by former U.S. Attorney Todd Jones and 33 former assistant U.S. attorneys with the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office -- said the DOJ's directive "breaks with the long-standing and important precedent ... of conducting cooperative and joint federal-state investigations into law enforcement uses of force."
"The thoroughness and credibility of an investigation is as important to achieving justice as the ultimate outcome," the letter stated. "Here, the legitimacy of any investigation turns on whether the public -- the constituency the U.S. Attorney’s Office serves -- believes it was comprehensive and unbiased.“
"Following regular procedure and conducting a cooperative, joint, and full investigation will ensure the public -- those prosecutors are sworn to serve -- has confidence in the outcome, whatever that may be," it added.
American communities have been subjected to enough Trump Kristallnachts. The rule of law must be restored.
