There are probably hundreds of people who would immediately recognize him based on his body style, eyes and haircut. If MN officials were really trying to do this, they could get the answer.

And even without a definite ID, I think it is still possible to get a John Doe indictment.

Seriously, Democrats immediately try to find all the reasons why we CANNOT do something. Meanwhile, Trump runs roughshod doing whatever he wants without consequences. This is why it is so hard for Dems to win elections even when Republicans are outright criminals and friends. We don't fight for ANYTHING, not even a simple manslaughter indictment in a case with 10 videos showing the crime from start to finish.

We are our own worst enemies.
