FBI withholds evidence in Minnesota
Unsurprisingly, Kash Patel’s FBI has formally informed Minnesota officials that it will not be cooperating and will not provide access to information or evidence it collected in the fatal January shooting of Alex Pretti. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension called the lack of cooperation “concerning and unprecedented.”
“The FBI formally notified the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) on Feb. 13 that it will not provide the BCA with access to any information or evidence that it has collected in the Jan. 24 shooting death of Alex Pretti,” the statement said. “The BCA reiterated the request to receive information, access to evidence, and cooperation in the Jan. 7 shooting death of Renee Good and the Jan. 14 shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis. It remains unclear if there will be any cooperation or sharing of information related to those two shootings.”
“While this lack of cooperation is concerning and unprecedented, the BCA is committed to thorough, independent and transparent investigations of these incidents, even if hampered by a lack of access to key information and evidence,” the statement added. “Our agency has committed to the FBI and Department of Justice that should its stance change we remain willing to share information that we have obtained with that agency and would welcome a joint investigation. We will continue to pursue all legal avenues to gain access to relevant information and evidence.”
Minnesota’s BCA will continue its investigation without the FBI’s help.
Surely there's a prompt legal maneuver which ends up with a judge demanding of the FBI to explain why it's withholding evidence in a murder case which it itself is not pursuing. ...surely? (yes yes 'Airplane!' reference)
funny isn't it? if the "suspect" in Pretti's killing was one of those %#@!#! Antifa or Trans, the FBI would be bigfooting it all over this investigation until they got an indictment.
