Where Is the Arrest, or the Suspension of Officer Ross?

Days and days later, where is the arrest? Suspects are often arrested at the scene or shortly afterward. Yes, they are often arrested before the investigation is complete. Not so, though, with Officer Jonathan Ross — or, if he has been arrested, it has not been reported.

Has Officer Ross even been placed on administrative leave? The FBI has not disclosed as much. It would be an appropriate action — but it apparently hasn’t happened with Officer Jonathan Ross.

These two facts should sharpen the criticism that the FBI may not be impartial. They should serve as tell‑tale signs that the FBI might conceivably spin the investigation to protect Officer Ross.

To begin with, there is a conflict of interest when a federal officer is being investigated by a federal agency.

And secondly, the boss above both agencies (that would be Donald) has provided verbal comments that could influence the investigation — as has Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Can we expect a fair investigation? You judge.
