Psych!

No, it's not.

It's like the very opposite of that.

Nobody is going to take this and say this is a genuinely nonpartisan, independent report that seeks to find the truth.

This is a tool for Trump to...

you know, act politically in his own favor.

Joseph Thompson, who's the acting U.S.

attorney for the state of Minnesota, who just resigned because of the way the DOJ was prosecuting this case, was also the lead prosecutor in the, I think it's the Feeding Our Future case, where 58 people were convicted in a scheme to steal $300 million from government child nutrition programs.

There are still 20 more defendants who are awaiting trial.

I actually think in addition to George Floyd and that unfolding in Minnesota, the involvement potentially of Somali immigrants in all of this, the sort of racial underpinnings that sort of color the dynamic in Minnesota right now.

He loves speaking ill of immigrants and brown people, and they're both there in Minnesota.

Yeah.

I mean, I think this case is in many ways why he's been most recently attracted to the state.

And now the guy that pursued the case that was leading the investigation has left.

Does that derail that case a little bit?

I mean, not that I'm a fan of fraud.

It's just...

The way in which there's clear partisanship that's like – the judicial system is being employed for partisan political gain and entire communities are being painted with a broad brush and really –

dileterious way, in a really bad way, in a really divisive and cruel way.

That is the not good part of this case.
