Trump Caught IN THE ACT by Judge after DESTROYING EVIDENCE in Pretti Murder - Meidas Touch



A Trump appointed Judge in Minneapolis just concluded that the Federal Government “failed to safeguard” Alex Pretti’s firearm according to “normal law enforcement proceedings” and also observed that it “appears likely” that other key evidence was “lost”, inviting future lawyers for Pretti to file motions about the destroyed evidence. Michael Popok reports. - 02/03/2026.

2. When you commit a crime and want to escape punishment...

You destroy any evidence to escape punishment. They did so, however there are many, many recordings from different angles of the event. It was caught on camera and there are witnesses.

3. With cell phones, recording devices and so many damn witnesses in Minnesota they don't stand a chance

Another instance that shows that they're not hiring the best and the brightest.

5. One would think they'd remember what happened to the cop who killed George Floyd

It just took one young girl with a cell phone who thought to record it and the murdering cop didn't stand a chance.

I am glad there was justice for George Floyd, however we are living in some very different times now. ICE is masked and bizarrely protected. No arrest for Good's killer or Pretti. I don't know that any of them will go to trial.

7. I don't feel there will be ANY accountability either. These goons are above the law apparently

8. I'm not so sure about that, the city and the country aren't willing to let these horrible murders go

Not to mention, these lawless ogres couldn't have picked two more likable or sympathetic victims. Renee Good's family testified today and Alex Pretti's co-workers are speaking out and having publicized memorials. I don't think the nation is willing to forget. *sigh*

12. VA Secretary Collins told VA employees NOT to have a memorial for Pretti

Pretti was one of HIS employees
Collins official statement about Pretti’s execution, however, was neither sympathetic nor empathetic.
It was terse and political.
Collins was a military chaplain, for crying out loud.

I call dereliction of duty.

13. Good Grief! Sounds like the chaplin we had at my boarding school, not on the side of the students

Clearly dereliction of duty! And those who worked with Pretti and knew him already had a memorial, posted about it yesterday. Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar attended and spoke.

16. Yes, they certainly do - they're bringing us news during the day and even late at night

And you can see by the number of memorials and the unbelievable crowds still protesting in Minneapolis despite the freezing weather that they're sticking with it until they can take their city back!
