The federal government is claiming the FBI has exclusive jurisdiction over the investigation in an attempt to prevent Minnesota from trying him on state charges, while also trying to paint Renée Good as a subversive extremist as a retroactive justification for the murderer’s actions.






Unfortunately, the head of the FBI is a political appointment, making the FBI and Department of Justice under the current administration more tools for selective, partisan legal enforcement than actual justice. Given that the FBI is currently trying to claim Good was an activist, rather than determining whether her civil rights were violated, it currently seems unlikely that Jonathan Ross will be convicted. It’s an investigation looking to paint Ross as the victim from the start.
Unless Minnesota can obtain access to the evidence and try him on their own, the only hope would be for a conviction under a non-Republican administration, assuming Ross isn’t pardoned of federal charges by that point, and that the FBI hasn’t tampered with the evidence in the meantime.
