"This started as a pretext about immigration and fraud"

America, you did this to yourself. You knowingly elected a criminal sociopath as president. Donald Trump staffed his administration with criminals, sociopaths, psychopaths, pathological liars and spineless lickspittles. They have betrayed both the oaths they took to the U.S. Constitution and their duty to the American people. Law and order is breaking down before our eyes at the hands of those purporting to uphold it. The Saturday morning killing, if not outright murder, of 37-year-old Veterans Administration nurse, Alex Pretti, by federal agents masquerading as law enforcement simply confirms it.

I'm not simply referring to the vicious thugs with guns who at point-blank range gunned down the second citizen of Minneapolis in under three weeks.

The Trump administration's lawlessness over the last year has left decent Americans stunned, mouths agape, unwilling to accept what our eyes tell us, seeing but not believing what is happening to our country.

. . .

AG Pam Bondi's Department of Justice is using the Pretti killing as leverage for Trump to get his hands on Minnesota's voter files. "Guess what?" asks Sen. Chris Murphy of Conn. "This has never been about safety or immigration. It's a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states."

Arizona Attorney General Adrian Fontes responded, "This isn't leadership. This is blackmail."
