Joseph H. Thompson, who was second in command at the U.S. attorney’s office and oversaw a sprawling fraud investigation that has roiled Minnesota’s political landscape, was among those who quit on Tuesday, according to three people with knowledge of the decision.

“The absence of a credible and comprehensive investigation into Ms. Good’s killing stands to “undermine trust in our public safety agencies,” Mr. Evans added.

  1. I'd have to think about whether anything Roy Cohn did matches that. I hope there is an investigation of Bondi and Blanche and anyone else involved. I can't believe that Blanche was ever any cleaner than he is now and he's stinking filthy.
