Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty revealed her office’s creation of the Transparency and Accountability Project in a statement on Monday. Per the announcement, TAP allows users to submit photos and videos “of potentially unlawful behavior by federal agents.”

“TAP’s purpose is to collect and assess evidence submitted by the public of potentially unlawful behavior by federal agents,” Moriarty said.

She reported that her office and TAP are investigating 17 incidents that occurred during the DHS operations in Minneapolis, including one focused on former field commander Gregory Bovino.

“We will investigate and pursue charging where appropriate,” Moriarty said. “Make no mistake, we are not afraid of any legal fight. But we will do this ethically, responsibly, and vigorously. This is just the beginning.”

There's a rumor that in high school he was busted for jacking off under the staircase. Even if it's not true, I'll believe it is.

Many people are saying that bovino was beating off under the stairs. Why hasn't he come forward to confirm that he wasn't flogging the dolphin?

He only did it because he was taken hostage by an illegal extremist and made to get an erection and pleasure himself. He was serving his country in his sacrifice!
