Timeline of Events Surrounding Scalia's Death

I know all about them. And they do not have primary jurisdiction over any death case that isn’t on federal property. And even that is very rare.

Some things they are good at and in many ways are the best of the feds. But they really aren’t very good at basic street cop and Sheriff work. I know we all loved Tommy Lee Jones in the movie. But calling the Marshals for a death is like calling a federal agency to investigate your car wreck.

The fact is, 99% of what they do is security details for judges and inside Federal courthouses, transporting prisoners, and much more are, looking for fugitives. At a murder scene they aren’t much use.
Primary jurisdiction is always with the sheriff.

This “above your head and you better call the feds, but im not going to even tell you why” is a peek into the mentality of guys like poindexter, his buddies on the court, his getting awards from Obama, etc.

By they way, the marshals are the security detail. If the protectee is laying there dead, can you think of why that is the last people you would have investigate that death? It’s pretty obvious that the security unit doesn’t get to investigate why the protectee died.

I take issue with the free trips, too. Lowly administrative (secretaries) local government employees can’t take anything for free. Even in the private sector, I couldn’t take free lunch from anyone we might do business with, even if I had no decision making ability.

Thanks! It just seems so obvious, doesn’t it?

Perhaps this article and my questions deserve verification if possible:

US Supreme Court Justice Scalia Had Secret Texas Meeting With Obama Just Hours Before His Death

This was only several days after SCOTUS decision against 0 clean power act, another green power regulatory takeover. Curious why:
1. Scalia may have met 0 in TX and 0 accompanied him on the same flight to the ranch, based on sat data of f16 coverage for the Gulfstream from Andrews to the ranch (not SOP for a SCOTUS Justice!) - but why the F16s then continued on to LA if the Gulfstream was EMPTY?
2. Why were the SOP official US Marshal Srvcs defenders for Scalia dismissed and replaced by US secret service?
