\nQuote – The suit was announced alongside another initiative from the Justice Department to battle rising threats made against local election officials. A memo from Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco establishes a task force across the FBI, as well as DOJ\u2019s criminal division, the civil rights division, and the national security division.

\nQuote – Per state guidelines, the maximum sentence for unintentional murder in the second degree is 40 years, but because Chauvin has no previous criminal record, the presumptive sentence is 12.5 years, with an acceptable deviation range of 10.67 years to 15 years. But because Cahill agreed with the prosecution\u2019s aggravating factors motion, the judge had the discretion to increase the sentence.

\nQuote – \u201cIf he\u2019s gonna tie them together, he can forget it!\u201d Graham said. \u201cI\u2019m not doing that. That\u2019s extortion! I\u2019m not going to do that. The Dems are being told you can\u2019t get your bipartisan work product passed unless you sign on to what the left wants, and I\u2019m not playing that game.\u201d
