(8,692 posts)can start investigations into mortgage fraud for local police and prosecutors. Like he's doing on Colorado, he can pardon the ICE thug and demand local pardon. He can trash the election for next governor and try to replace Walz w a stooge. He can provide the thug w best defense attorneys and poison/delay the trial. Evidence can be lost. He can cause even more chaos in MN to distract. He can cause even more chaos in the world...and a war-time potus can gather even more support and power than usual.
We are dealing with a ruthless, sociopathic mobster. No reason to think he'll follow the rules. We are dealing with someone who has and will cause deaths of hundreds of thousands (millions, more likely) in the US and globally with his policies and actions. Trillions of dollars and global reorganization are in play. Crushing resistance is an every-day task, regardless of perception. Crushing is as much the point as the policy.
He doesn't care about this individual thug or the thug's victim...he doesn't want his ICE program to be trashed in MSM and open court.
