There it is: one of the first times anyone in the Trump admin has admitted that protestors & bystanders are legally permitted to protest & document DHS activity.... Just two days ago, this same crowd spent hours claiming DHS agents have been "under attack" in MSP & beyond...

Who needs drunk tweets when you have dementia truths:

KIM: There's reporting that FBI agents equipped with a signed warrant prepared to document blood splatter and bullet holes in Ms. Good's SUV. They received orders to stop supposedly from Kash Patel. Do you think a sufficient investigation is happening?

LYONS: I can't speak to that

The damage done to Minneapolis is probably the clearest example of how Trump is simply not like other presidents. Besieging and occupying a city for weeks like that is nearly unheard of

BLUMENTHAL: What is so different about ICE that it regards itself as an exception to the 4th Amendment?

LYONS: We don't

BLUMENTHAL: Why did you keep your memo about the warrant policy secret?

LYONS: I didn't

BLUMENTHAL: We learned about it when whistleblowers came to us

BLUMENTHAL: Were you mistaken when you said no US citizen is subject to immigration enforcement?

LYONS: No sir

BLUMENTHAL: Well, who is lying? You or him? The facts contradict what you said

GALLEGO: So somebody who probably has never handled a weapon after 42 days is going to be inserted into Minnesota, into a high stress environment?

LYONS: They could. Yes sir

GALLEGO: That explains a lot

GALLEGO: After Renee Good was killed, the agent called her a "fucking bitch" on camera. Is this how your agents are trained to act?

SCOTT: No sir

GALLEGO: Is that professional?

SCOTT: No sir

GALLEGO: Why is the agent who shot Renee Good holding a camera phone & weapon?

LYONS: The US attorney was requiring to have video leading up to arrests, so officials have used phones for that

GALLEGO: Maybe you shouldn't be trying to be an influencer and wielding a weapon at the same time

SLOTKIN: Do you believe that ICE has the authority to be deployed to polling places?

LYONS: There's no reason for it

S: So if the president says he needs you to go and physically deploy around polling places, you'll say no?

L: There's no reason for us to deploy, but we do investigate voter fraud

"He visited Child-Sex-Trafficking Island but had his wife and kids with him, while I was only a close friend of the owner of Child-Sex-Trafficking Island" isn't the defense he thinks it is.

The SAVE Act is meant to make voting harder and more intimidating so people don't do it. When you combine it with ICE agents potentially being deployed at the polls, it's clear what Trump is trying to do before the midterms - make it harder to vote.

some amazing chyrons in this segment

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.
