When you get to the point that one department of the executive branch is throwing another branch under the bus, all hell is about to break loose.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

Really makes you wonder what "investigation" is required. They said what they said on a widely-distributed video and reiterated their statements in follow up interviews.
"Investigation" just seems to be a delaying tactic to deal with the fact that they can't think of a charge to file.

Yah, everyone still on X is a bad impersonation of Harry Lime.
At this point X is like 1950s Vienna, a whole place made up entirely of spies, running ops against other spies, with no non-spy people. Or maybe like a 1971 Black Panthers convention where 3/4 of the attendees are conintelrpo.
