So tell me again that the subpoena of Jerome Powell is normal for his desire to renovate the federal reserve bank building. When Kristi Noem is trying to demolish historic buildings in DC on an emergency basis.

Hopefully, the 10K will be used to pay for the ICE Agent’s shackles.
NEW: It appears billionaire Bill Ackman has donated $10k to a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who killed Renee Good.
Ackman has reposted the fundraiser but hasn’t posted about his own donation.

“The United States hasn’t been a shining city on a hill in a long time; but how far it has fallen, to become a pirate state plundering neighbors for the gain of a ruling clan. Venezuelans have suffered for too long and deserve to decide their own destiny regardless of Trump’s intentions.”

If that murderous ICE Thug isn’t prosecuted by the State of Minnesota (ie., only by the Federal Government (current skeletal travesty of the DOJ), then, whatever the “Reality,” Trump can, and will, most likely, pardon him and he’ll be back on the job, ready to kill the next unarmed civilian.
Q: Is this ICE officer immune to charges?
HENNEPIN COUNTY ATTORNEY MORIARTY: I can't speak to why the Trump administration says what it says. I can say the ICE officer does not have complete immunity here.

Another way to describe the same problem is to say Congress is supposed to be the most powerful and representative branch of government, and it’s failing on both fronts.
