Tr~mp appointed federal judge denies request to compel U.S. Govt to preserve evidence in #Pretti murder. This #judge even admits that they already destroyed or lost #evidence(!), then illogically claims confidence (despite his admission) that the feds will start doing the right thing.
From #SCOTUS on down, these judges are on pipe dreams that norms will be followed, the Govt will act in good faith, when evidence shows the contrary.

Their "war" against judges is a war against real justice.
The ouster of Trump-picked prosecutor Lindsey Halligan capped a months-long battle between the Justice Department and a Virginia district court, but the DOJ isn't backing down from its "war" against judges.

Judge issues order to preserve evidence after protester gunned down
Eric Tostrud, US District Judge, has issued a temporary order blocking federal agencies from “destroying or altering evidence related to the fatal shooting” in #Minneapolis of Alex Pretti.
The order was issued on Saturday and included anything removed from the scene where the killing took place.
