I just heard about and read about the resignation, as I think many people did.

It tells me that a professional investigator, an FBI agent who was a career agent as opposed to a political appointee, thought that it was appropriate to do a complete investigation and send it to the Department of Justice.

But people who didn't know as much as she did about the investigation decided to order them to stop the investigation.

And the only thing I can think of is that was for political reasons.

And I think it's hard to understand, and I think the public should be disturbed that there isn't an investigation

As there should be, as there is in Minnesota, any time a state peace officer takes the life of a person, there is a complete and thorough investigation, a decision about whether charges are appropriate, and transparency.

So we are doing the investigation in tandem with our state law enforcement agency, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the BCA.

As you know, we created a public portal so that people could submit evidence because we were not receiving evidence, and I'm guessing we're not gonna receive any evidence from the feds.

And we received substantial information there that is helpful.

So the BCA continues to investigate and interview witnesses, and our hope is to gather all of the evidence that we think we can gather and then be able to make a decision about whether charges are appropriate or not, and then announce that publicly with transparency so that the public understands exactly what happened here.

Excuse me, it's not surprising because we had had conversations with both the FBI and the U.S.

Attorney's Office to make sure that there was a joint investigation with our state law enforcement agency, the BCA, the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, and the FBI.

they had worked together, they worked together frequently.

And so we had that worked out and then it suddenly got revoked.

And we had heard that that came from the US attorney directly.

And clearly that was on political grounds.

And so it does not surprise me at all that an FBI agent who actually was on the ground and felt that there should be an investigation

was so upset about it, and I would say probably had so much integrity, that she chose to resign.

So that part of it isn't surprising, I guess.

You know, I heard you say it's not surprising but shocking that they would then turn the investigation on Renee Good or her widow.
