Yesterday, six federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned amid efforts by the DOJ to investigate Becca Good, the widow of Renee Good who was executed by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in broad daylight last week.
As for Jonathan Ross and his actions, the DOJ has no interest there declining even to launch a civil rights probe into the shooting.
Given the determination with which the feds are pursuing Becca Good, one can only wonder what charges they intend to bring against a grieving widow.
Will they charge her for being disrespectful?
On Sunday, President Trump justified the killing of Good by stating, “At a very minimum, that woman was very, very disrespectful to law enforcement.”
As always Trump is lying through his teeth. You might recall that nary an hour after her murder, Trump proclaimed that Good "violently, willfully and viciously ran over the ICE officer" who was "recovering in hospital." On the contrary, her murderer came out unscathed.
As for Good, she was being Minnesota Nice. As I wrote last week:
If anything, Good was cordial and polite making a point of telling Ross, "I'm not mad at you." Her demeanor is not that of someone about to engage in an act of domestic terrorism. Ross and his other ICE colleagues, however, were quite angry and saw fit to escalate the situation.
But in Trump's eyes and those of his quislings, being insufficiently respectful to ICE is grounds for instantaneous execution.
With this in mind, one must wonder what Trump's DOJ have in mind for Becca Good who, if you watch the footage, was far more vocal in her "disrespect" of ICE than her now deceased wife.
Becca Good did not have kind words for ICE in the moments before one of their goons killed her wife. She certainly has no reason to have kind words for ICE now.
So, what crime did Becca Good commit?
I'm sure Trump's DOJ will make something up. Just about the only thing they are good at is creating stories. That and making a living hell of the lives of people with whom they see as enemies.
