“The head of Minnesota’s investigation agencies says the U.S. Attorney’s Office has essentially cut off the state investigation agencies’ access to the investigation,” the reporter said. “What is the precedent for that, and why shouldn’t the Minnesota officials on the ground have access to evidence to work on this investigation?”
Vance answered, “The precedent is very simple: You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action — that’s a federal issue. He is protected by absolute immunity. He was doing his job.”
That is not the law. Cops have qualified immunity, but they do not have absolute immunity to kill people. Absolute immunity was enjoyed by Gestapo officers and NKVD agents. Absolute immunity is a police-state principle. It's not the rule in a country govered by laws.
The Faux Hillbilly Sofa-Fucker went to Yale Law School and he most certainly knows better that. He is fucking lying.
But since he works for a demented thug who thinks that he has absolute power, we know that he's spreaking to an audience of one.

Sorry CM. You are mistaken. While Harvard Law is responsible for many crimes and atrocities, inter alia, Ted Cruz, VD Jance is not theirs. He is a Yalie.
Harvard should be nuked from orbit. It would be the only way to be sure.
It's easy to remember Vance's origin story. Vance was a disciple of Amy Chua, the Tiger Mom, who encouraged him to write his vile book (In fairness, it might have gotten good after the first 50 pages, but I'll never know. That's where I gave up.) because he was the first poor person she had ever met, and found the idea of poverty to be fascinating.
Vance is lucky that he works for Trump. In a sane world, he would be the most inauthentic person anybody could hope to meet. But next to Trump he is eclipsed like a candle in bright sunlight.
This is getting a bit long, but my disgust for Vance runs deep. He ran for Senate saying he "Wanted to help" ordinary people. As a Yale law grad, if he really wanted to make a difference in poor people's lives, he could have joined Legal Aid, or a Public Defender's office. But only the Senate would do. In his two years there, as far as I know, he introduced no legislation of his own, merely piggybacking off the the work of others.
In short, your well deserved condemnation of this POS is uncharacteristically kind.
+1...can you correct the headline? I sent this on and got corrected on the law school
OK, since you asked....done.
