Investigate This!

Vice President J.D. Vance held a press conference today in which he said the ICE officer, Jonathan Ross, who shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, has “total immunity.” This is consistent with what Kristi Noem and President Trump are saying. CNN reporter Ali Vitali asked about the FBI investigation into the shooting: If the administration has already exonerated Officer Ross, what is the investigation for?

Ali Vitali is a good reporter, and I think she is well aware of what the investigation is all about. The FBI is going to delve into every crevice, nook, and cranny of Ms. Good’s life. If she so much as shoplifted a jawbreaker from the neighborhood mom & pop market, we are going to know about it. If she had a boyfriend in high school and “cheated” on him with the quarterback of the football team, we’ll hear about that, too. She’s a divorced mother of three. We will learn every detail about her divorce—were “other persons” involved, and who has she been “seeing” since? By the time the FBI is through, the Good family will feel as if they’ve been subjected to a public colonoscopy, on stage, at the Donald J. Trump/Kennedy Center.

As a former (and future?) podcaster, FBI Director Kash Patel knows how to tell a story, and I have no doubt he will tell it in excruciating detail. So, Ali Vitali, that is the answer to your question. I sincerely hope I am wrong, and if so, I will update this post with an apology.

I hope I am wrong. But I doubt it.
