Biden Regime Planned To Arrest Chauvin If Jury Reached The “Wrong” Verdict

It’s official; we now live in a banana republic.

In a stunning example of the degree to which Democrats have weaponized the Justice Department for political means, the Biden administration had a “backup plan” to arrest Derek Chauvin had a Minneapolis jury not found him guilty of murdering George Floyd last week.

On Thursday, The Minneapolis Star Tribune published a bombshell report that DOJ officials conducted a secretive investigation into the former police officer and had contingency plans to swoop into the courthouse and arrest him on federal charges if he was acquitted or if there was a mistrial.

Chauvin, who was convicted on all three counts by a jury that was terrified of the mob is already looking at the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison when the sentencing comes down next month but even that isn’t enough for a Biden administration that is fueled by the fervor of racial vengeance and cleansing America of the phantom menace of “white supremacy,” especially when it comes to law enforcement.

According to the Star Tribune, “Leading up to Derek Chauvin’s murder trial, Justice Department officials had spent months gathering evidence to indict the ex-Minneapolis police officer on federal police brutality charges, but they feared the publicity frenzy could disrupt the state’s case,” and “So they came up with a contingency plan: If Chauvin were found not guilty on all counts or the case ended in a mistrial, they would arrest him at the courthouse, according to sources familiar with the planning discussions.”

“Under the contingency arrest plan, the Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s Office would have charged Chauvin by criminal complaint — a quicker alternative for a federal charge that doesn’t require a grand jury — so they could arrest him immediately, and then asked a grand jury for an indictment, according to sources, who were not authorized to speak publicly,” the newspaper reported.

Biden’s DOJ is also looking at charging Chauvin in an unrelated 2017 case involving the arrest of a 14-year-old; “Chauvin struck the teen on the head with his flashlight, then grabbed him by the throat and hit him again,” according to the Star Tribune.

It was widely expected that there would be an explosion of rioting, looting, and violence across the nation had the jury not delivered the maximum verdict and when Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters traveled to Minneapolis to incite the mob on the eve of the verdict, it appeared that America was on the brink of cataclysmic mayhem that would have made last summer’s carnage look like child’s play.

But the jury did its part and violence was averted although Waters’ incendiary remarks appeared to set the table for Chauvin’s appeal, a prospect that even Judge Peter Cahill suggested was likely.

Now it appears that he is doomed and the entire American legal system may be as well.

The Star Tribune also reports that the feds plan on bringing additional civil rights charges against him as well as the other three officers who are still awaiting their own trials in Floyd’s death.

According to the report:

“Now, with Chauvin’s state trial out of the way, federal prosecutors are moving forward with their case. They plan to ask a grand jury to indict Chauvin and the other three ex-officers involved in George Floyd’s killing — J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao — on charges of civil rights violations, a source said.”

“If the grand jury voted to indict, the former officers would face the new civil rights charges on top of the state’s cases, meaning all four could be headed toward yet another criminal trial in federal court.”

Juries have not even been seated and the three have already been found guilty by a rogue regime that is already the most extreme in the nation’s history and is only getting warmed up.

There is no longer any such thing as the idea of justice which has served American for over two centuries, now there is only vengeance as far as Biden is concerned.
