This isn'tjust refusing to cooperate. DHS/ICE took evidence from the crime scene and is refusing to turn it over. They also blocked local law enforcement access to the scene. This is at minimum obstruction.
Exactly. IMO ... conspiracy. They are covering up a murder.
The last bit may be. The former, probably not, until a court orders them to hand it over.
Just think about it in the context of a person doing this. If you witness a crime, you don't have to hand over, for example, video of the crime just because they ask for it. They need to get a court to order you to hand it over. Or, if you commit a crime, you don't have to provide them with evidence. They have to have a court order you to hand it over.
Again, if they actually cared about law enforcement then they'd obviously hand it over. They don't though. It's just not a crime that they aren't handing it over until they're ordered to. It proves that they are the enemy, and not legitimate law enforcement, but that isn't illegal.
You keep talking as if they are just witnesses to a crime that won't testify. It is far, far more than that.
Federal authorities blocked the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension from the crime scene. They gatherer evidence from the crime scene while the BCA went to a judge force access to the scene and even got a search warrant. Now they have contaminated the crime scene and are withholding gathered evidence from the local authorities.
Now you consider this in the context of a person doing this. Let's say you kill someone and claim self defense. When the police show up to investigate the death, your friends block the police from the scene, going so far as to ignore a signed warrant. Your buddies then take all the evidence they collected while the cops were getting their warrant and transport it and you to another state so the cops can't talk to you or see the evidence. Do you think the cops would consider your buddies guilty of a crime?
The FBI is not a witness. They are an investigative branch. Beyond any reasonable doubt they have gotten orders from higher up that they should not cooperate. Conspiracy.
If it is proven that someone ordered them to cover this up ... like say ... the president ... then he is part of that conspiracy.
Honestly. Here is what I believe happened and what will eventually come to light: Trump ordered violence, he wanted ICE and Immigration to shoot people so the protests would grow violent.
The MINUTE they discover that link Trump and all his cronies are part of a murder conspiracy.
