A whistleblower has claimed that the FBI allegedly halted an investigation into the death of Renee Good, a queer mother of three killed by an ICE agent, because Director Kash Patel did not want the warrant to describe her as a 'victim'.

According to Senate Judiciary Democrats, forensic teams were reportedly ordered to stand down while the warrant was rewritten, delaying evidence collection.

The allegations suggest that Patel aimed to cast Good not as a victim but as a threat to law enforcement, potentially obstructing standard civil rights and use-of-force protocols.

Clown country never ceases to surprise me the levels of depravity of its abuses as they extend what they've done to the world upon their own countrymen.

I'm sure if we asked people high enough in the cult, they'd tell us "Wrong kind of American." Those people should be shown one of these.

They rather see the antiwar vet get himself amputated than lift their fingers.
