This is *definitely* how you behave when you're trying to bring every resource to bear, rather than trying to cover up the unlawful behavior of your own personnel.
According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation).
Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

I think the Greenland threat is a troll. I think.

Francisco Monaldi, director of the Latin America Energy Program at Rice University, believes it would take $10 billion a year for ten years to fix and upgrade Venezuela’s oil sector.
So the oil is there, but it will take years and $100 billion to get it out of the ground.

If U.S. foreign policy is being shaped by Donald Trump’s resentment over a Nobel Peace Prize he didn’t get to control, then we have a far bigger problem than Venezuela.

A Nobel Prize, a Bruised Ego, and the Danger of Letting Trump Run the World
