    Miller told CNN in the statement: “The initial statement from DHS was based on reports from CBP on the ground.”

    If true that means they didn’t bother to watch any of the publicly available videos, or any videos recorded by ICE for days while they quadrupled down on a story that had no evidence behind it…

    That the agents who turned in reports lied on official reports…

    And a whole bunch of other ramifications they didn’t think of when they threw these guys under the bus. And they’re not going to go quietly under a bus, if they go to state trial, they’re all snitching on everyone they possibly can to show that they acted according to instructions from DHS

      If this is anything like Jonathan Ross, they’re already being sheltered out of state, in a state that won’t extradite them back to Minnesota, while also refusing to provide any of the evidence they stole from the crime scene.

      I wonder if this is why competent agencies “don’t comment on ongoing investigations”

      🤔

      Well, they say the bad stuff on conservative news… then roll it back on the “liberal” news. But they never go back and update the conservatives. That way the maga stay maga, and the libs think they’re gaining ground—when they aren’t.

    So Miller is blaming CBP (they “may not have been following […] protocol”, "The initial [lying] statement from DHS was based on reports from CBP on the ground.”)

    Noem is blaming the White House (“Trump had been privately defending [the killer]”, “Noem was given guidance from multiple White House officials on how she should talk about the shooting”).

    And trump is distancing himself from both of them, as well as Bovino.
