Yesterday, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, on behalf of the state and alongside the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, filed a federal lawsuit that is most notable in the absence of any intelligible legal principle. The effort to stop the surge of federal personnel to investigate fraud and enforce immigration is breathtakingly frivolous and farcical.
Ellison has long been more advocate than attorney in his public life, even praising Antifa for instilling fear in Trump and Ellison’s political opponents.
Ellison has been actively trying to tamp down coverage of the massive fraud under his watch, including potentially billions meant to support children and impoverished families.
Recently, a tape was released in which Ellison met with Somali figures later convicted of fraud and agreed with them that they needed to support “candidates that will fight to protect our interests.”
Now, Ellison is actually trying to get a federal court to prevent the federal government from surging resources in the state to investigate and prosecute fraud. The filing is little more than a press release with a caption on it:
“The Trump Administration’s new focus on “fraud” in Minnesota is just its latest attempt to attack Democratic politicians and more aggressively and recklessly implement their immigration enforcement agenda.”
Ellison wants a federal court to prevent the assignment of federal investigators and law enforcement to the state to enforce federal law. Ironically, the state is making this argument as a matter of state rights under the Tenth Amendment (as well as a series of equally frivolous claims under the Administrative Procedure Act).
Notably, they are trying to dictate the deployment of federal personnel and resources as a federalism claim. The filing is a diatribe that vaguely alleges racial profiling and attacks on “law-abiding citizens.”
At the press conference, Saint Paul Mayor Kaohly Her declared, “Federal law enforcement’s occupation of our city is putting us all at risk.” Ellison repeated the reckless rhetoric, insisting that “this federal invasion of the Twin Cities has to stop, so today I am suing DHS to bring it to an end.”
This is a purely performative measure, using a filing to give the appearance of action to satisfy irate constituents. Hopefully, the district court will respond with clarity about the use of the federal courts for political screeds.
In the movie Billy Madison, the principal responds to an argument from the lead character by saying.
“What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
The scene comes to mind in reading this meritless filing.
Here is the filing: State of Minnesota v. Noem
At the press conference, Saint Paul Mayor Kaohly Her declared…..

U.S. Offers To Trade Its Liberal Women For Iranian Women
https://babylonbee.com/news/us-offers-to-trade-its-liberal-women-for-iranian-women
South Carolina – MAGMA country. Make America Get Measles Again.
Why do right wing anti science politics kill so many of their own? Didn’t they learn basic science in 7th grade?
I think they just accept anything the orange god and his servants tell them. RFK Jr says vaccines are bad, therefore they are. Accept it or be banished from the orange kingdom.
Well… the MAGATS aren’t biting… why don’t we go see if that Biden Furry Tranny is up for another threesome tonight?
That thing he did to us with his tongue the last time while reading from Ashley Biden’s diary was incredible!
Why do science spouting leftwing douche nozzles not know the difference between male and female?
What is the basic Science – not what pro vccinate the crap out of everyone nazi say – but the real science ?
Do you even know ?
anyone not a moron knows that all vaccines are NOT the same.
The Smallpox vaccine is extremely effective and provides immunity for 70 years.
Whooping cough only lasts about 10 years.
The covid vaccine is 97% effective 2 weeks after the 2nd booster but has a half life of 6-9months.
Anyone who can do math would know that alone meant it was not going to eliminate covid.
The flu vaccinee varies from 30% effective to 70% effective depending on the year and we have no idea how long immunity lasts – because it is rare for the same flu to come back.
There is also growing concern about vaccines like the flu vaccine – because frequent vaccinations can have a NEGATIVE impact on your immune system. That is not a big deal for a vaccine that lasts for 70 years.
It is a big deal for a vaccine you are getting several times a year.
We hopefully have all learned from Covid and VARS that most medical treatments have negative effects on some hopefully small percent of people. The scale of the impact and the percent of people effected varies = but my point is that no treatment, and in this case no vaccine can be presumed identically beneficial to other treatments of vaccines.
We are ranting about measles now – the measles vaccine KILLS a few hundred children every year.
That is one of the reasons that we discontinue the recomendation to vaccinate for a disease that is effectively eliminated from the US.
If we get a small outbreak from tourists or illegal immigrants – we can quarantine those infected and those exposed. And if necescary we can vaccinate locally to prevent the spread. Regardless though that might result in some deaths – it will result in LESS deaths than mandatory vaccination for a disease that is no longer present in the country.
In all cases of all vaccines factors determining whether it is recomended would be the number of people who die from the vaccine. if given universally, The likely number of people who might die in an outbreak if it is not. The durration of immunity from that vaccine. The risk profile of the vaccine and of the disease. Covid as an example never kills healthy children. In most instances they do not even know they have it and can not spread it. Conversely for the elderly the death rate was 1:3 You can give a very dangerous vaccine to people for a disease that kills one in 3. You should not give it at all to people who can not spread the disease, probably do not know they have it and do not die from it.
Regardless the POINT is that in the real world the “SCIENCE” does not collapse to some idiotic conclusion to vaccinate everyone always for everything – which is what the left is shilling.
It is also surprising that the very people who rant the most about corporate greed, are functioning as profit guarantors for Big Pharma.
I have zero problems with Big Pharma trying to convince us all that we need vaccinated out the whazzo.
If you have a company that makes vaccines- that is what you are going to say. Further even without factoring in the possibility of deceit – it is likely that the people making vaccines beleive in them and are going ot be unconsciously biased to see the benefits as greater than they are and the harms as less. That is OK in a fee market – every day we are told that changing toothpaste will change out life, get us the sexy girl, make us popular, solve all the worlds problems. Most of us know how to rationally evaluate those claims.
The problem comes when you involve Government.
Every business in existance would rather have to sell to govenrment that to you. There are 350 million of you and they have to persuade each one individually. If you can get a government agency to recomend or better yet MANDATE your product that is far far less sales effort and far greater sales.
Government should not be recomending, mandating, subsidizing or really have any involvement in the sales of any product on the free market. If it does GUARANTEED there will be extremely large scale “rent seeking”
You rant that right wingers are unable to make decisions for themselves.
But you are certain that YOU are able to do so.
Yet you are the one that is pretending that vaccine science is binary and absolute when in fct in the real world every single medical treatment is always a cost benefit analysis – and by cost I do not just mean money, and that that analysis is rarely the same from one person to the next.
The reality is that individuals acting on their own – even when they do NOT all make the same choices, still on NAT make better choices than any one size fits all approach. And that is true in pretty much EVERYTHING.
Measles was eradicates in the US in 2004.
All Measles cases in the US today come directly or indirectly from foreigners.
Nearly all are among illegal immigrants.
Nearly all are among illegal immigrants.
To the best of my knowledge this is not true. All the outbreaks I’m aware of were brought in either by legal foreign tourists or by Americans returning from abroad.
In one case in Michigan a few years ago, the carrier, a foreign tourist, reported himself to the authorities as soon as he was diagnosed, and they were able to trace most of the people he had infected over the previous few days; it was too late to stop the outbreak, but it was contained.
You re correct – from 2004 forward many cases were from legal immigrants and tourists.
Mass illegal immigration has changed that.
All or nearly all the large outbreaks in the least few years have been in illegal immigrant groups – most in TX, but also other place that illegal immigrants are brought to.
Thank you Joe Biden and all his Illegals he let in
Exodus At U.S. Attorney’s Office
Six federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned on Tuesday over the Justice Department’s push to investigate the widow of a woman killed by an ICE agent and the department’s reluctance to investigate the shooter, according to people with knowledge of their decision.
Joseph H. Thompson, who was second in command at the U.S. attorney’s office and oversaw a sprawling fraud investigation that has roiled Minnesota’s political landscape, was among those who quit on Tuesday, according to three people with knowledge of the decision.
Mr. Thompson’s resignation came after senior Justice Department officials pressed for a criminal investigation into the actions of the widow of Renee Nicole Good, the Minneapolis woman killed by an ICE agent on Wednesday.
Mr. Thompson, 47, a career prosecutor, objected to that approach, as well as to the Justice Department’s refusal to include state officials in investigating whether the shooting itself was lawful, the people familiar with his decision said.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/us/prosecutors-doj-resignation-ice-shooting.html
…………………………….
Here we have it: ‘The U.S. attorney who spearheaded the Minnesota fraud probe has resigned over the Good shooting’. 5 others resigned as well.
Good riddance.
One of the first moves Oblowhole made in his 8 year reign of destruction, pack the DOJ. They are on their way out either way now, the best is yet to come.
Why does JT avoid all those subject that show the trump administration is a piece of trash?
JT will never admit the biden administration was absolutely incredible in how it effectively sealed the border so there weren’t these undocumented immigrant issues.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
OMD, I have no idea who this woman is, but she made my day 😺😺😺I love her, winning 💖🏆💖

That was Kari Lake, Republican candidate for Arizona governor.
Do you seriously think a federal judge is going to sanction a state AG???….Sorry, but that will never happen, ever. Even if warranted. Parties are definitely treated differently in our legal system, based on status and/or positions…. if you’ve ever litigated in federal or state court you would realize this …Sad, but true.
Whoever wrote that Billy Madison dialogue deserves an Oscar 🏆🏆🏆
… That is high quality screenwriting 😸😸📹
We the Politicians of Minnesota believe we are above Federal law and will not tolerate having it imposed on our state. LOL fools.
Pam Bondi had a legal deadline of December 19, 2025 to release 100% of the Epstein files. As of today Bondi only released 1% of the files.
Maybe instead of going after Trump’s political opponents (a crime under federal law), maybe Bondi should start following laws?
What does that have to do with Minnesota fools filing a meritless lawsuit? I know low IQ people have trouble with their attention span, but do try to keep up with the current topic.
Only 1% released??? Who told you that lie…
Bill Clinton did not appear today to testify in closed door hearings regarding his 26 flights and 18 Whitehouse visits with Epstein. Aside from the sexual misconduct allegations there looms large the financial fraud allegations surrounding the Clinton Foundation.
Just an FUI
“Comer also indicated that the committee would not attempt to compel testimony from President Donald Trump, a fellow Republican, saying that it could not force a sitting president to testify.”
Why isn’t trump being asked to testify? Wasn’t he extremely close to Epstein?
No, he wasn’t extremely close. He was friendly, until he got suspicious and informed the FBI about him, and kicked him out of Mar a Lago.
NOPE and you know better. Trump worked with the FBI over getting Epstein.
Did you forget that part?
So you are claiming that the Epstein files contain 20M documents ?
Bondi has released 200,000 documents – if that is 1% then there must be 2M documents.
All the documents must be redacted – names of victims as an example can not be released..
There are other things that much be redacted.
Contra to claims above – I am increasingly concerned that the accusations that Bondi is backpedaling on a number of Trump commitments.
Much of the recent MN fraud is work done by the Biden DOJ not the Trump DOJ as an example.
Comey and James could have been indicted in March.
There are a large number of Criminal referals from the house and Senate that are languishing at DOJ right now.
So I am increasingly skeptical of Bondis commitment
But I am not bothered by the fact that releasing rhe epstain files is a large and difficult undertaking.
After we get the Epstein files, then you MAGATS can start whining on what Garland, Pelosi, Cheney, and Benny Thompson did with those hundreds of thousands of missing J6 Committee files.
More than one thing can be thought about at any given time, dip. Tell me, do you perceive breakfast?
Expect other blue states to file meritless lawsuits to stop the Feds from demanding Medicaid receipts. The results from Dr Oz at CMS investigation will be catastrophic for non-Medicaid receipts….we will fall into a shock induced coma when we learn how much fraud and abuse have transpired.

We’re taking the largest action of its kind in Medicaid history by asking the state to give us all the receipts. We’re going to hold people accountable

Blue States:
We won’t give up our fraud.
The Mayor says: “Federal law enforcement’s occupation of our city is putting us all at risk.” This another instance of left-wingers asserting that actions or even words that they don’t like cause them “fear.”
Interestingly the fraud and deportation efforts began under Biden
Most of the convictions doj has been announcing are from Biden doj investigations
Further Biden dhs prioritzed deporting illegal pedos deporting nearly 5000 in 2024
Trump has expanded that and deported more that 16000
While criminals as well as some who are not criminals are getting caught and deported by ice in Minneapolis the priority target is pedos
A “pedo” is not a criminal?????
Some are people convicted of crimes involving children.
Some are people accused of crimes involving children.
Both Biden and Trump prioritized those two groups above Other criminals and suspected criminals.
The lawsuit may be merit less but there is a high probability it will get a sympathetic judge who will ignore the law and constitution
Result in a tro or pi that trump will have to obey until scotus steps in
W.B. Yates:
“Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
….”
Black Law Dictionary
ANARCHY: The destruction of government: lawlessness; the absence of all political government; by extension, confusion in government.
I’ll add deliberate or naive misinterpretation of law and demanded avoidance of consequences of lawless behavior. AND that’s how I’ll define a Left of Center Citizen.
Thanks GW. Yates no less..
Yates no less, in total agreement, yesterday i was culling a bookcase and found him bound in a book!!!
Ditto.
Gee, whoda thought it would be the democrats massive taxpayer fraud that takes them down?

They asked Hunter Biden that same question at rehab.
His answer: “Showering with Dad. Watching my sister showering with Dad”…
While drinking a Coke🤣and counting shake down proceeds.
Gotta say something. Anything. I DO AGREE that normal, average, Twin Cities residents of underdocumented status, especially the pre-2021 Mayorkus-Invasion Somali refugees, should be secondary in the Federal Enforcement Surge against State and Municipal Corruption. These current Fed Law enforcement efforts should be focused on the Dem Party Ringleaders and their associates nationwide and in MN that undoubtedly include Mr. Ellison himself.
The Democrats have no consideration for law and order. This was evidenced today ad Bill Clinton refused to comply with a congressional subpoena, says it is unenforceable. He should tell that to Navarro and Bannon🤣
Truths are coming out 2020
Turley: what are you going to do when we finally get rid of Trump? Do you think that the MAGA media will continue, or that any of them will pay you to keep finding ways to deflect away from Trump’s utter lawlesness and to attack Democrats? According to the latest polls, the majority of Americans want Jonathan Ross arrested and tried for killing Renee Good, so we believe our lying eyes–not MAGA/Trump lies about Renee being an agitator or deliberately trying to run over Ross. We saw and know, contrary to your claim, that Renee did NOT strike Ross and was not antagonizing him or egging him on. She was friendly and conciliatory, and she had a Constitutional right to challenge ICE’s activities in her community, including monitoring their whereabouts and warning neighbors when they are around. Further evaluation of Becca’s comments imply that she was suggesting that he get a “warrant”–not “lunch”, which is an appropriate request. Ross will face justice, some day, in some forum. Trump can’t stop that day from coming because he cannot pardon Ross for state crimes. And, all of this is a just a deflection away from Bondi ignoring the statutory requirement to turn over the entire Epstein files. She’s not going to do so until she is either jailed for contempt or impeached, either of which may be on the way. The American people aren’t going to let this go.
The people of Minnesota want ICE and Trump’s army of gun-crazy unaccountable and unprofessional losers with bad attitudes to go away. I read the complaint filed by the MN AG. It is not, as you’ve been paid to claim, without merit either factually or legally, nor is the thrust of the lawsuit about MN trying to prevent inquiry into alleged fraud. Trump fired the Inspectors General in most agencies, who are the proper parties to investigate allegations of fraud, which are nothing but allegations at this point.
These allegations came from a chronic, habitual liar who attacks anyone and everyone who refuses to knuckle under to him, and who uses the DOJ as a tool for retribution–case in point–the outrageous grand jury subpoenas served on Fed Chairman Powell because he refused Trump’s demand to drop interest rates. Most of this retribution directed toward Minnesota is over Tim Walz being the VP candidate in the last election.
Fed chairman Powell cannot be intimidated, so Drunky “Judge Jeanine” goes after him with baseless grand jury proceedings while Trump denies knowing anything about it. Chairman Powell made a monkey out of Trump when Trump confronted him with accusations of mismanagement and cost over-runs in the renovations to the Fed building–Trump’s calculation included another building which wasn’t part of the initial allocation. The cost went over because of unforeseen issues–not financial mismanagement. Trump came off looking the fool that he is–so Drunky Jeanine goes after Chairman Powell. As the MN AG said in the complaint that was filed, Trump is sore because he lost the State of Minnesota. Instead of de-escalating the situation, ICE Barbie ramped up the abuse, bringing in more and more agents–another bad idea–escalating a tense situation is literally asking for trouble, which is why police agencies train their officers NOT to escalate. This won’t end well, and the American people want it stopped.
That’s generally what you do to quell an insurrection. I hope those “activists” are not stupid enough to bring their weapons to fight back. Removing illegals and criminals from our country is a good thing not something to die fighting.
“Removing illegals and criminals from our country is a good thing not something to die fighting.”
Didn’t some woman somewhere just do that stupid trick?
Yep and she paid the price… Not very smart person. Next time, get the heck out of the car like you were told!
“the American people want it stopped.”
Would those be the same people that voted for this?
I can attest that I am dumber for having read your rant.
Winner 🏆👍🏆of the Internet today⬆️
That should teach you.
you might want to check your meds
Your rambling democrat screed mentions “we” and “American” in the same sentences ……… they are polar opposites. You should self-deport.
“Do you think that the MAGA media will continue”
Of course it will.
And it is growing.
“Trump’s utter lawlesness”
What part of Agenda 57 is lawless ?
What part of what Trump is doing is lawless ?
Trump is following the law – and THAT is what has you pi$$ed.
Not interested in your polls.
Regardless we do not decide whether a crime was committed by poll.
Good was committing multiple crimes. The officer was doing his job.
“Trump lies about Renee being an agitator”
Rene was a member of ICE watch.
As noted in their own literature – they seek to obstruct ICE.
They go beyond observing and documenting.
That means she was an agitator.
“deliberately trying to run over Ross. ”
I have no idea what Good intended – I can not read her mind.
I know that her actions were reckless, lawless and dangerous.
“We saw and know, contrary to your claim, that Renee did NOT strike Ross”
Then you are blind.
“was not antagonizing him or egging him on.”
Not relevant.
I do not care at all what Rene said or did not say.
It is what she did and did not do that matter.
She did NOT obey the orders of the other ICE agent.
She did driver her car recklessly and dangerously stricking on agent with her vehical and risking injury to atleast one other.
“She was friendly and conciliatory”
Personally I think she was smarmy and passive aggressive, and the perfect poster girl for left wing nut karens – but that is irrelevant.
It is AGAIN what she DID and DID not do.
“she had a Constitutional right to challenge ICE’s activities in her community”
What does challenge mean ?
Protest ? Absolutely
Obstruct ? Nope.
Regardless she was not facing arrest for acts that MIGHT have enjoyed free speech protection such as warning and honking her horn,
She was facing arrest for using her vehicle to stop or slow the law enforment actions of ICE.
That has no first amendment protection.
“including monitoring their whereabouts and warning neighbors when they are around.”
This is trickier.
I would like to hear from Turley what the sate of free speech law on providing information that allows others to evade law enforcement.
I suspect that is still protected. But I am not certain.
Regardless, that is not what she faced arrest for.
John Say,
Excellent take down, point by point of Gigi/Natasha!!
” Further evaluation of Becca’s comments”
Becca;s remarks are not relevant.
But no she did not say warrant.
All that does is make you appear even more looney.
Further Becca can ask for a warrant – again free speech.
No warrant is ever necescary for a police arrest for a crime they directly observed.
“Trump can’t stop that day from coming because he cannot pardon Ross for state crimes.”
Ross is a federal agent – he can not be prosecuted by the state.
If MN tries it will immediately be removed to federal court and dismissed as immune.
“And, all of this is a just a deflection away from Bondi ignoring the statutory requirement to turn over the entire Epstein files.”
I have other questions regardingf bondi – the house and senate have provided a number of criminal referals that are not being prosecuted.
You will get the epstain files eventually.
” She’s not going to do so until she is either jailed for contempt”
Judges can not do anything except refer contempt charges to DOJ
“or impeached”
By the house ? Possibly
Removed by the senate ? Never.
You have more chance that Trump gets disallusioned for her failure to bring prosecutions .
“The American people aren’t going to let this go.”
Trumps approval is the best of any 2nd term president at this point in his presidency.
Your barking up the wrong tree.
“The people of Minnesota want ICE and Trump’s army of gun-crazy unaccountable and unprofessional losers with bad attitudes to go away”
Some might – thoufgh the last poll I saw had a plurality of minnesotans supporting deportations.
Regardless, Minnesota is a state not a country and the issue of “states rights” was resolved almost 200 years ago.
” read the complaint filed by the MN AG. It is not, as you’ve been paid to claim, without merit either factually or legally, nor is the thrust of the lawsuit about MN trying to prevent inquiry into alleged fraud.”
It will likely find a receptive judge and SCOTUS will have to toss this garbage.
Even if the claims were correct – Minnesota does not get to dictate federal policy or Federal law enforcement priorities.
“Trump fired the Inspectors General in most agencies, who are the proper parties to investigate allegations of fraud”
Incorrect. They investigate internal fraud within the federal government – and even then they make recomendations.
Proscutions are done by DOJ. Investigatiosn of fraud in federal programs by the states are the responsibilit of each agency, and the FBI and DOJ.
“which are nothing but allegations at this point.”
No over 100 people have been convicted – some by Biden.
Regardless the federal govenrment gets to investigate allegatiosn of Fraud in federal progrrams dministered by the state.
“These allegations came from a chronic, habitual liar”
And over 200 Whistlebolwers in MN government and more than 1000 specific reports fo Fraud from MNY whistleblowers.
“the outrageous grand jury subpoenas served on Fed Chairman Powell”
Powell is alleged to have lied in his testimoney to congress.
Congress made a criminal referal to DOJ.
Is Trump happy ? Sure. But this was not driven by Trump.
No Trump is nto looking for Retribution against Walz – I suispect Trump was ecstatic when Harris picked Walz.
That will be viewed as one of her greatest blunders.
Trump is not specifically after Walz – though he will be happy to See Walze charged and convicted.
Trump is after the corruption in the Democratic party.
While MN appears to have the greatest Fraud – this problem is nation wide.
We KNOW there are large issues in Maine, Massachustes and Ohio – a red state.
But theis is likely an issue in all 50 states – the programs were designed to make fraud easy.
MN is the big target because much of the fraud their is by immigrants and because it is strongly tied to Rep. Omar.
I am certaint Trump is far more interesting in Rep. Omar’s scalp that Gov. Walz.
“Fed chairman Powell cannot be intimidated”
What is relevant is whether he lied to congress.
Lying to congress is a crime.
““Judge Jeanine” goes after him with baseless grand jury proceedings while Trump denies knowing anything about it.”
Perjury before congress is hard to prove. The issue must be statement of fact that is clearly false.
Most congressional testimon is more like that of expert witnesses. You can not charge perjury because an expert witness is wrong.
And proving an opinion is a lie is nearly impossible.
Regardless – Congress though Powell perjred himself.
The GJ though Powell perjured himself.
The FED is mismanaged – all of government is mismanaged.
That is not new.
As to the cost – this is by far the most expensive federal building ever built.
Yes, there is an issue.
Judges can not do anything except refer contempt charges to DOJ
John, that actually isn’t true. If the DOJ refuses to prosecute someone for contempt of court, the court can hire an attorney and prosecute the subject itself. As far as I know that’s the only exception to prosecutorial discretion.
milhousevh
I was over simplifying – but so are you.
First – civil and criminal contempt are different.
A judge can direct the Marshalls to hold a person in a cell in the courthouse if he finds them in civil contempt
UNTIL they clear the contempt. There is no prosecution, there is not criminal record,
But you do go to jail.
That most typically occurs if you take the 5th, and the prosecutor offer you immunity and you still refuse to testify.
You get out – when you clear the contempt or when the case dies.
That occurred in the IC Starr/Clinton case in the 90’s.
Further this ONLY applies to a person that is before the court.
Boasberg is currently threatening something like this with Bondi and Rubio and Noem and others.
But he is going to fail, because he does not have the means to obtain jurisdiction over them.
That is working its way through the appeals courts.
Criminal contempt is different and is a separation of powers issue.
Judge Sullivan tried something akin to this in the Flynn case – though that was not a contempt issue.
He tried to select his own prosecutor when DOJ dropped the flynn case – I beleive when the FBI 302’s surfaced and did not have any evident that flynn had lied. Flynn appealed and won, that appeal was appealed and Flynn partly lost, it was headed to SCOTUS when Trump had enough and Pardoned Flynn. So the case was not decided.
A judge can appoint people to provide the court with reports. But that does not make them a prosecutor.
I am not aware of a judge ever appointing there own prosecutor in a criminal case.
I am not aware of a judge ever being able to seek an indictment on their own.
And the bill of rights requires criminal indictments.
If there are actual exceptions for criminal contempt – I am not ware of them.
Becca’s drive speech is relevant. Mrs. Good followed Mrs. Good’s order to commit a crime. This crime, Mrs. Good paid with her life. That isn’t free speech.
Minnesota is out of control from Walz on down but it’s low man that pays. This goes to the TRO and the SCOTUS poor opinion, as well.
Regular forces doesn’t mean military necessarily. It can mean a force exerted. Minnesota is being forced to implement federal law. It’s out control with AG clowns like Ellison.
Tragedies and Minnesota is a hub of crime with a narco state and Kleptocracy at its core.
Quite hopeless. RIP Mrs. Good.
It is relevant to prosecuting Becca – which is not going to happen.
It is not relevant to whether the shooting was justified.
John
While MN appears to have the greatest Fraud – this problem is nation wide.

Wait until they look at Calif. I bet them numbers will blow the roof off.
Police agencies virtually never train officers to descalate – regardless of what they may claim.
Regardless the enforcement of the law is ALWAYS escalatory – so long as the persona accused does not comply.
Government has no choice but escalate.
A law that is not enforces is not a law.
Why you are an idiot to think that the courts are going to drive the Feds out of MN,
and why this could easily backfire and subject MN politicians to criminal charges.
Warning – this is funny- but offensive.
Regardless as so many of you left wing nuts like to speculate on Rene Goods state of mind – despite the fact that no one really knows what was in your head. Here is someone else speculating about why white progressive women want to confront ICE.
OMG… John.
She hit the spot.
Turley: what are you going to do when we finally get rid of Trump?…
Then he’ll be reporting on the Democrat Marxist Clown Show reaction to a President Vance, Rubio, DeSantis, whatever.
And that entire post is a warning, illustrating the dangers of Democrats crammed into the Democrat Borg getting high by snorting their own farts.
I’ll bet the litigators at DOJ are looking hard at Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 11, sanctions for substandard pleading, and 12(b)(6) Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim Upon Which Relief Can Be Granted. We’ll know soon enough.
