Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:
1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens
2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar
3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Andy McCarthy lays out why having DHS investigate Alex Pretti's murder is so problematic.
But there's another now: the goons that assaulted Pretti 11 days before CBP murdered him are HSI, the subpart of DHS purportedly investigating the murder.

As with Renee Good’s death, refusal to conduct a credible criminal investigation only makes the eventual prosecution of federal agents more likely.

From @status.news in their review and comment on Bari Weiss after her meeting with all hands today:
"installed by Ellison not primarily to strengthen their journalism... but to steer CBS News into waters more favorable to Donald Trump and the MAGA movement."
