Attorney General Pam Bondi was so furious with six federal prosecutors who announced they would resign rather than prosecute the widow of a Minnesota woman killed by an ICE agent that she fired them before they had a chance to give their notice.

    Again, PEDOnald cannot pardon state charges. Minnesota can still charge Ross with murder even if he gets a presidential pardon. Supremacy clause doesn’t prevent states from using their own charges just because the feds refused to charge him with anything

      The point @[email protected] was making is that the federal government can pull any state charges to a federal agent into federal court. If the federal judge finds that the federal agent was not acting in their capacity as a federal agent when the crime was committed, then the state prosecution can continue. That’s a tough obstacle to overcome under the current administration.

      My point is that murder has no statute of limitations and Minnesota can wait to file charges until a non-fascist administration is in power. That could be in four years or in twenty. Again, no statute of limitations.
