There is no statute of limitations on murder, Johnathan Ross. This one is around your neck for life.

I'm sure I read some suggestion of charging her with felony murder; as in she committed a felony (anyone's guess what that would even be) and as a result her wife got shot, which somehow makes it her fault.
Almost certainly the felony murder rule. This is a first-year law school concept that they are twisting and perverting - par for the course for this administration - but it basically means that a group committing a felony are all liable for any murders that happen during the course of that felony.
The idea of using it on an innocent murder victim's wife to feed into an already ludicrous narrative that the victim was the perpetrator is outright evil. It's not surprising that these people resigned, because if you have morals, you will feel your skin crawl at the very idea of doing that.
Imagine being able to kill a coworker you don't like and someone else goes to jail for it. I'm not saying the cop who pulled the trigger did it on purpose, but this is literally precedent if you wanted to.
Since ICE was there in the first place and shouldn’t have been, shouldn’t we charge them with the murder?
I mean if we’re playing cutesy baby games with the rules, those motherfuckers shouldn’t be operating armed terror squads on US soil and they have no jurisdiction over US citizens, so any assault they make on a US citizen is 100% a felony so I think we should charge Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi right away
Oh, I think that's what all reasonable people agree on. ICE, and at least Jonathan Ross, the murderer, should be charged. But qualified immunity is the reason why this guy and ICE more generally hasn't already been charged.
Edit: I misspoke, see TipRing's explanation below.
Qualified Immunity is a protection against civil suits. Committing crimes never falls under its protections. The current issue is that the Federal Government can use the Supremacy Clause to pull any criminal proceeding into Federal Court by making the argument that Ross was executing his duties as a federal agent, if successful the co-opted DoJ can just spike the case or Trump can pardon the crime.
The state has to prove to the court that apprehending a US Citizen is not within ICE's jurisdiction so the Supremacy Clause should not apply, this is a largely untested situation so we can probably guess how our current Supreme Court will rule on this.
As I understand it, by law there should be an investigation into any time an ICE officer fires a gun.
Naturally, the Trump DOJ has refused to even investigate any instance.
I guess they should have used that one on tramp's many crimes...but instead they need RICO?
It's always different for them. For some reason. Somehow.
It's Wilhoit's Law:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition ... There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
That doesn't mean they're not accountable for their actions.
Im preaching to the choir, I know.
Morals aside, I'm not sure on a practical level what felony they would be able to even try and argue the wife was committing here.
Attempted murder of a federal agent.
The exact same completely bullshit story that they lead out with.
Also felony murder is a bullshit law exclusively used by power tripping assholes. John Oliver did a story on it and how there was a guy who let his roommate borrow his car for a night, his roommate committed armed robbery, and the guy who unknowingly lent his car out went to prison for life.
Wait so by that logic every motherfucker with Ross should be charged with murder
Who is that?
Damn hes got a great hairline
A reporter that asked trump some easy, direct questions during his first term and got substained crazy back. His expressions have been memed.
HBO reporter that interviewed Trump a few years back
Be warned, it's extremely painful to watch: https://youtu.be/NmrEfQG6pIg
The need to dehumanize the victim because even some Republicans are upset that they are shooting white ladies.
Yeah but they'll let it slide because she was LGBTQ... /s
"After a brief investigation over mimosas and a cheese platter, we have found credible evidence that Good was a member of the Alphabet Mafia. The agent was justified in his use of lethal force against a dangerous criminal. No charges will be filed."
It’s true but it’s getting close to where they are beginning to feel uncomfortable about it. Not quite unhappy yet but they’re getting there.
I'm not surprised that Hannity finds it "almost impossible to comprehend" that someone would resign to uphold their principles.
Both of these talking heads are puppets with the hands of the same puppeteer up their asses.
FOX news needs to be destroyed. Preferably with everyone still inside.
I had the chance to give the staff diarrhea but I felt bad for people like the camera operator or whatever... I worked for a company involved with Dairy Queen and Carvel ice cream and at the start of the "ice cream season" fox does a morning show with them as a advertisement. I was so close to putting exlax in the mix but I decided against it... I still kick myself for not doing it but it wouldn't have reached assholes like Hannity anyway.
As a Minnesotan, I've had a lot of conversations with friends, family, and neighbors lately about what is going on
Most are pissed about ICE being here, and how they're acting. Some, however, are 100% MAGA, and happy ICE is here
There is one thing everyone seems to agree on though: ICE being in Minnesota is political retaliation
We're a state with ~2% of the population of the US. We have less than 2% of the immigrants due to our location and climate. Yet 20-30% of ICE agents are now here
They should have just not said anything dragged their feet while at work while slowly eating up annual/sick leave to really slow everything down. Now there are 4 vacancies that could have been tied up for the better part of a year.
Bingo. Drag your feet, use up time. File shitty motions you know won't work to tie up the courts. Sabotage is hard work, but slowing the gears of the Orphan Crushing Machine is important and actually pretty easy to do when it's the federal government.
This has to be the hundredth time I'm saying this. But no. What you are wishing for the prosecutor's to do, is not only illegal, but highly unethical. We're talking disbarred levels of unethical.
The right course of action is what they were doing. Resign. Make headlines. Bring attention. And if the government want to shoot themselves in the foot and fire you without cause because you wished to resign. Well, I'm sure they're wiping their tears with their separation pay package.
Win win.
We also dont know the situation that led up to them resigning and getting fired. They very well could have been trying to drag their feet but were already under immense pressure to file charges immediately. No amount of feet dragging can help if the Nazis are literally hovering over you as you fill out the paperwork.
If this is the same situation I read earlier, senior attorneys have quit because 1.) the government won't investigate Good's murder and 2.) The government wants to investigate Good's wife instead.
"Oh, yeah, you see how they checked this box here? That means we also need a DD-2319 form signed in triplicate here. That'll need to be approved by two levels of management, so we'll need to form a committee to assess its suitability before raising it for a vote during our Change Control Board meeting, which only occurs monthly. Sorry about that. Don't worry, I'll get it fast-tracked for you."
I agree with "don't quit, impede" philosophy, but a very public show of support against these fascist actions is not something to dismiss.
They aren't going to be able to fill these because fed attorney jobs pay dick and there is zero prestige to these postings now.
Well, maybe true for qualified people, the job title is no longer prestigious.
But for the scum of the earth? That job title legitimizes them, by comparison.
I think I know which type will be the ones applying...
Right, but the defining characteristic of those people is that they are also bad at their jobs. Look at what happened to their prosecutions of former prosecutors that charged Trump. The guys that left were undoubtedly CONSIDERABLY better at their jobs than whoever will replace them.
Weren't these the people earlier this week who supposedly resigned, of which people were complaining about. Now it comes out they were actually fired before they even could...
Maybe people should realize there might have been more going on that we aren't privy to.
All this 'not good enough' thinking does is breed toxicity and in-fighting. Both of which are not good when trying to form a solidarity.

The prosecutors announced their intent to resign, and would have done so after using up their allocated PTO. A fairly standard practice in professional environments. Pam Bondi fired them in retaliation for announcing their intent to resign
She claimed it was because they wanted a tax payer funded vacation, but anyone who understands the basics of unemployment, especially in Minnesota, can tell you she just gave them even more tax payer money (if they want it). Not only will they be entitled to their PTO, but they are now also entitled to unemployment
Edit: Fixed typo
You typo'd and it changes the meaning of your last sentence to effectively be the opposite of what you said lol. Just wanted to point out for anyone else reading who may get confused.
"they are now also"
not everyone seeks "lowering the bar" transgressions for feels
these people want to change the world not troll their boss
Damn Pam. Ok,you broke up with them. Not the other way around. We got it.
Somebody literally needs to remind this lady to stop and take a breath before she passes out mid rant.
Correct me if I am wrong here: Are there women in ICE? All I have seen are men who look like they are divorced and not paying their child support.
A quick search brings up stats from 10 years ago, and at that time about 7% were women.
No idea what the number is now, but I've seen recent information (news reports, vlogs, etc.) mentioning, and showing women in ICE uniforms.
I believe there are women in ICE, which isn't surprising, but not very many.
Just yesterday, we had the story of a female journalist who claims she was admitted to ICE with no vetting. So, they at least allow women to enter.
I’ve seen photos with feminine appearing stature / eyes doing on the street enforcement, I would assume them to be in the extreme minority in that context.
There’s also back-end desk work where physical characteristics aren’t really going to matter.
Dumb of her. You have more protections when fired than if you just quit. It's almost always in your best interest to have a shitty boss fire you and have those protections than leave voluntarily and have almost none.
The fact that these monsters would even think of going after the victim's wife tells you all you need to know about the conservative mind.
Man who would think a corrupt AF soulless scumbag like her would do such a thing.
It wasn't her intention, but she did effectively help those prosecutors
She handed them a bulletproof unemployment claim. Now they'll get their PTO paid out in a lump sum, but they'll also be eligible for unemployment on top of it
Minnesota unemployment decisions are very favorable to workers
I so want to see her on the stand at some point. Under oath, and not in an environment controlled by conservatives, either.
Daily reminder that ICE is a manufactured distraction from the Epstein Files.

“They wanted the taxpayers to pay for them to go on vacation because they decided they didn’t want to support law enforcement,” she said. “So, the breaking news tonight? I fired them all! They are FIRED from the office.”
Not a major point, but when an employee wants to resign they are saying that they want their PTO paid out, as they are entitled to under law or contract. That’s what those former employees were saying. Bondi is saying she fired them, but she will still have to pay out that PTO all the same.
More posturing to look like they’re taking charge. I don’t know if any of what I’m about to say is true but if those attorneys already had the accrued PTO, they will get their pay for that time anyway, at least that’s how it’s worked anywhere else I’ve worked in the US. Also, if they can prove that the firing was retaliatory, they may be able to get further compensation and payouts.
Like I said, I know nothing of their employment/contracts so I could be talking out of my ass, but if what I said is true then the government is paying more money than they would be if they just let the prosecutors resign. I could be wrong once benefits are included.
Overall, my theory lines up with yours. They knew thr simple minds at the top would fire them, and somehow that benefits them. They are lawyers after all, and getting hired into the jobs they had makes it very likely they were at least savvy in political maneuvers.
She calls them the "deep state" lol
What a Bondi thing to do. She fucking bondied that so bad! What an absolute pathetic human.
