!!! Attorney General William Barr slammed the hundreds of Justice Department prosecutors working beneath him on Tuesday, equating them to preschoolers, in a defense of his own politically tuned decision making in the Trump administration. cnn.com/2020/09/16/pol…
There’s even more: Addressing the Hillsdale College audience, the event’s host asked Barr to explain the “Constitutional hurdles for forbidding a church from meeting during Covid-19.”
“You know, putting a national lock down, stay at home orders, is like house arrest. Other than slavery, which was a different kind of restraint, this is the greatest intrusion on civil liberties in American history,” Barr said as a round of applause came from the crowd.
Here’s more from Barr: “Most of the governors do what bureaucrats always do, which is they...defy common sense,” Barr said, adding, “they treat free citizens as babies that can’t take responsibility for themselves and others.”

Questions to be raised: The Sagadahoc Sheriff Joel Merry whose department investigated Maine Shooter’s threats told the AP — “We couldn’t locate him,” Merry said, adding that he couldn’t recall if there was any follow-up because “I don’t have any reports in front of me.”
However, our reporting indicates there was follow-up. In fact a sergeant from his dept. went to the shooters home on Sept 16 believed he was inside. The sergeant was at “disadvantageous“ position and called for a second car to respond.
The shooter‘s white Subaru he used during the shooting was in driveway. The sergeant spoke to people who relayed the threat the shooter posed, “when [he] answers the door at his trailer, in the past he usually does so with a handgun in hand out of view from the person outside.”

Extensive new details on the Maine shooter in the month before the horrific events.

Police tried to check on the Maine gunman over concerns he could ‘snap and commit a mass shooting’ | CNN cnn.com/maine-shooting…
Brave sources came forward with information after they felt officials here were not being transparent. I have been asking about this since Thursday. My heart goes out to this community and the families. I’m sorry they are finding out this way.
We spent the day traveling around the county trying to talk to the officials involved in the initial investigation. No official wanted to answer any questions.

I’ll be joining ⁦@andersoncooper⁩ tonight for our investigation in to the Uvalde sheriff with never before seen body camera footage and scene footage along with audio of his contentious interview with a Texas Ranger investigating the shooting. cnn.com/2022/12/07/us/…
CNN has now detailed Nolasco’s actions in our investigation into the leaderless morass and lethal inaction at Uvalde. Nolasco rejected requests for interviews for months. CNN finally caught up with him in November.
Our goal continues to be to highlight what every law enforcement leader did that day. What every agency did that day. Continuing in that fashion with @press_friedman and @CNNRachel we now take a look at the chief law enforcement official for the county and his response.

🧵 The more we learn about the DPS/Texas Rangers investigating its own about the response to the Robb Elementary shooting — the more it’s raising questions. The breakdown in communication that day is really stunning. Here’s what some DPS officials told the Rangers in interviews:
John Miller the head of DPS swat: “Initially the word was there’s a barricaded shooter, but he’s shooting at law enforcement in a school,” he said. “There was no information after that regarding if there was hostages.”
He said he then spent many minutes trying to find out what was going on so he could make an appropriate plan, critically to account for any innocent people with the shooter.

As acting Uvalde police chief resigns, questions remain about what Texas's top law enforcement agency did and didn't know about the school shooting | CNN cnn.com/2022/11/17/us/…
The new audio obtained by CNN reveals a woman from “DPS in Austin” calling the Uvalde police dispatchers to get more information apparently to give to the specialist DPS teams being sent to help, including SWAT.
Capt. John Miller, the DPS SWAT commander, deployed his entire team when they were notified of the active shooter at about noon on May 24, even though almost all were at least 175 miles away, he told an investigator, according to interview records obtained by CNN.

It’s standard procedure for investigators not to release certain information while investigations are ongoing. However, Uvalde has been a different kind of situation - and at the very least an exception should be made because the initial information was so inaccurate.
Today we learned there are 34 body cameras. We have only seen 7. The mayor against the advise of the DA and others released those 7, which are from the Uvalde police.
This is also important. They city of Uvalde and DPS continue to refuse to release the radio transmissions between officers. Those are extremely important.
