And so look, I think what's important here is that there be a thorough investigation.
And if this law enforcement official should be charged because that's what the evidence calls for, then they should be charged.
And you should not be using the federal government to block access to this information.
You have to have a thorough investigation.
That is how you bring trust to a community.
And David, I want to say this.
I've had these investigations.
They're incredibly difficult.
And sometimes a law enforcement official is charged and sometimes they're not.
What I guarantee you is in any scenario, someone is disappointed.
But what the hope is...
If you're doing this work honestly and with integrity, the hope is that people at least respect the process and respect that it came to a just outcome, even if they disagree with it.
By the federal government and J.D.
Vance gaslighting the community, they're further eroding that trust.
They're making it more difficult for this community to get answers and to heal.
And I think that's a very dangerous thing for our communities.
Sure.
And look, I'm obviously not an expert on Minnesota law.
I can tell you that here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and I would presume it would follow a similar track in Minnesota, it would be up to the local prosecutor or potentially the state attorney general to follow through on this, to conduct the investigation.
And typically, when you're leading the investigation, as I did as Attorney General, the first thing you do is bring law enforcement together from every level to share information, to make sure you've got everything on the table.
