The Star Tribune is reporting that the FBI has taken over investigating the liquid sprayed at Rep. Omar

I don't like this because I have zero trust or faith in the FBI. I think State police, and local police should be working side-by-side with the FBI and monitoring the FBI's investigation.

They must not pass the investigation to the FBI. Minnesota may accept input from the FBI but it must be a state investigation.

I hope so because charges at the Federal level could (and I expect would) be pardoned
