The same day, The New York Times reported: “The investigation into the killing of Renee Nicole Good, 37, federal officials said, would be the exclusive province of the F.B.I., which is overseen by a director, Kash Patel, who has described President Trump as an unerring boss, and even a king.”

If you’re thinking this has the makings of a cover-up, you’re thinking along the same lines as Democratic Sen. Tina Smith of Minnesota, who spoke rather plainly and unreservedly about her concerns during an appearance on ABC News’ “This Week.”

    The investigation into the killing of Renee Nicole Good, 37, federal officials said, would be the exclusive province of the F.B.I.

    does the state of Minnesota really have to just hand the investigation off to the FBI?
    Is there a Minnesota law saying they have to do that?
    or is this one of those things where the democrats follow norms and traditions while the fascists look for any weird loophole and then just break the law if they don’t find one?

        They won’t have access to physical evidence, but they’ve got plenty of video, and that’s enough to make a conclusive case.

        When the Feds come down with a finding of no wrongdoing, Minnesota will have enough to charge him.

        When FBI holds evidence and refuses to let the state have access to it, that makes it real hard for the state to do anything.

        They did start a second investigation. But the FBI literally stood in their way to prevent BCA from access to the scene. Once the FBI had collected the evidence, the BCA was further obstructed from accessing the collected evidence.

      Minnesota “Dems” are not DNC. They are largely indistinguishable, but the party in the state is Democrat-Farmer-Laborer, and it has always been far more progressive.

      It’s no coincidence that our state is targeted by Trump. We have pissed off the regime in every small way that bothers him. And we will continue to do so.
