These types of situations are not political. Are there some politics involved? The answer is yes. When it comes to threats the political side of it doesn't matter. Threats have legal conciseness that come with them and can be very serious. The Justice Dept needs to get into threat investigations

Mary Ann Bittle

It's definitely ~very~ political, sadly. The MO GQP (formerly GOP) is really intent on protecting their KKK White Supremacist activities; no way they'd want to have qualified investigators involved.

When there are dangerous White Supremecists making threats at our the most local levels of government, yes, somebody should do something about it.

We are so fortunate that this socialist Garland did not get selected for the SCOTUS.

School board members should not be threatened because of differences of opinion. People should learn to disagree in a more civilized manner

They are already stretched too thin, while harassing Americans for other reasons.

Lisa Gore

The MO school board association yesterday separated from the NSBA who owes millions in backtaxes while Biden’s admin gave the leader of corrupt NBSA a high level position in his cabinet. Merrick Garland head of Justice Department’s son has a company promoting CRT. It’s personal Conflict of Interest!

Adam Schrader

Doj has enough other things to look into. Trump, Steve Bannon, Proud Boys, etc.

With his biases, he should not be using his position to meddle in gov on his own behalf. He's looking after no one but himself.

Max DeYoung

Both of Steve's comments are true and accurate.

Steve Baumann

I totally disagree, he needs nothing and was only working to help the majority. The waste uncovered is excessive, no one can argue that.

Fred

He's an absolute nutcase. And an immigrant from South Africa, who grew up under apartheid, with no security clearance, has any business ransacking our government, accessing private data or having any influence of government departments investigating his businesses.

Steve Baumann

He's also brilliant, accomplished and worked for us, the Americans, for free.

Has anyone triedmore MAGA??? We need more MAGA!

Steve Baumann

While I understand he had limited time, I feel more time would have benefited the country. That being said, I am grateful for the time he gave and the job he did. I look forward to seeing the results in the near future.

Max DeYoung

I hope he trained the people he left behind. He did an amazing job in only 130 days.

He has uncovered so much waste and corruption in the US Government. I only wish congress acted on what he found!

Why should people in Central and eastern Missouri be required to finance something for Kansas City. Totally insane.

Bill Douglas

The rest of the state is paying $200M for all the new stuff being built at UM football stadium in Columbia MO. No care about that???

Max DeYoung

I don't even like Taylor Swift.

Eric Smith

Just more political corruption. They know they can do it and get away with it. They did it with Busch stadium and the additional ballpark village.

Zaos Gonzolez

I want the teams to leave.

Bill Douglas

But let’s keep UM football in Columbia and $200 Million for new luxury suites, that’s worth it, right???!!!

Robert

How is this any different then if I ask for public funding to build on to my house?
