How do you know that isn't exactly what's happening?
Jindal is a governor. He doesn't have to make posturing "headline" statements to the microphones in order to get things done. He picks up a telephone and gives an order. Quietly.
It's easier to catch perps who aren't forewarned.
I for one hope he's done that. Quietly and back-door works. However, 'cause a detective wasn't assigned to the case until late Monday, it doesn't appear Jindal had much clout if he did call.

We expect our leaders to get out in front after something like this. This was not an ordinary mugging, but the violent attack of people exercising their political rights.
By this story’s account, they didn’t even start investigating until three days later and this was the Governor’s aide. Jindal obviously didn’t pick up the phone and give any orders quietly.
Something stinks here.
Surely hope you are right, and that he has done exactly that.
Okie, you have missed your calling. Mike Steele's head of GOP PR thinks in a similar fashion.
No. I don't know what Jindal is doing about this.
He should have been all over the airwaves telling me that some time ago. In addition, he should have been verbally ripping Obama's façade off ... it has been many weeks since ACORN, SEIU, et al have been sending agents provacateurs to Republican and Tea Party gatherings.
As for forewarning the perps, I shouldn't be at all surprised if they are long out of state by now ... considering the lapses in police work. Since I suspect they are union-thugs, they were probably imported. Maybe Jindal should be making that 0-so-quiet phone call to the FBI.
Politics is perception. Instead of making this a major national story, which it should be, Jindal has wimped out. He's already blown the opportunity, big time.
