   ‘My God’: Fury as Kash Patel accused of ‘outrageous cover-up’ of killing by ICE agent

   Political observers raged over the weekend after the New York Times reported that FBI Director Kash Patel personally ordered local prosecutors to cease investigating the death of Renee Good because he feared it would contradict President Donald Trump’s version of the killing.

   The order came from Patel and other senior officials who worried that pursuing a civil rights investigation — by using a warrant obtained on that basis — would contradict Trump’s claim that Good “violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer” who fired at her as she drove her vehicle. Several insiders shared the account with the news outlet.

   That story stirred up a frenzy among onlookers, including former prosecutor Richard Signorelli who said, “She was intentionally murdered on video! Where the hell are the MN prosecuting authorities in all of this. I’m requesting that Tim Walz formally request that Keith Ellison take over & prosecute the murderer STAT.”

   Ex-MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan chimed in, “They lied. All of them: Trump, Noem, Miller, Vance, and Patel. And then they covered it up.”

   Award-winning author Jennifer Erin Valent wrote, “This isn’t an administration, it’s a criminal organization.”

   She further added, “I don’t think enough Americans have even remotely digested just how lawless they are and how devastating their actions will be for our country now and long term.”

   The day of the shooting, Minnesota-based federal prosecutor Joseph Thompson allegedly sought a warrant to search Good’s vehicle for evidence, part of an effort he told colleagues would involve the state’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and investigate whether the shooting was justified or it violated the slain mother’s rights.

   However, once FBI agents obtained a warrant to document blood spatter and bullet holes in Good’s SUV, they received orders to stop, The New York Times reports, citing anonymous sources.

   Instead, according to the paper, the Justice Department encouraged investigators to seek new warrants for a criminal investigation into whether Good assaulted ICE agent Jonathan Ross and to probe Good’s partner instead.
