If found innocent, DoJ thugs were going to arrest Chauvin in the court
If accurate, The Daily Mail revealed the DoJ had secret plans to arrest Derek Chauvin if he had been found not guilty in the courtroom.
“Multiple sources told the Star Tribune federal prosecutors were ready to move in and charge the white ex-cop on federal counts moments after a not guilty verdict on charges of second and third-degree murder, as well as manslaughter, or in the event of a mistrial.”
“Department of Justice prosecutors now also plan to bring civil rights violations charges – akin to hate crimes – of police brutality against Chauvin and the three other cops on duty with him when Floyd was killed in May 2020.”

Justice Department officials were planning to arrest former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin at the courthouse earlier this month after spending months collecting evidence to indict Chauvin on federal police brutality charges if he had not been found guilty of murdering George Floyd, or if the case ended in mistrial, the Star Tribune reported early Thursday.
Under the contingency arrest plan, the Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s Office would have charged Chauvin by criminal complaint, sources told the Star Tribune.
In the wake of Chauvin’s guilty verdict on all charges during his state trial, federal prosecutors are now moving forward with their case which would involve charges on civil rights violations for Chauvin and the three ex-officers in connection with Floyd’s death, according to the Star Tribune.

Federal prosecutors were ready to arrest the white ex-cop if the jury had found him not guilty of all charges or the case had ended in a mistrial
Under those circumstances, they had arranged for the Minnesota US Attorney s Office to charge him by criminal complaint so he could be arrested right away
