Dasting. Would love to see a deep dig as well.
Didn't Waltz pass out or something today?

Vance Boelter, named in multiple news reports as the accused shooter of Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses, wrote on social media that he was the CEO of a company called "Red Lion Group."
On LinkedIn, Boelter also touted his experience on the"Governor's Workforce Development Board."He was appointed to that non-partisan board by Gov. Tim Walz, and former Gov. Mark Dayton, per the New York Postand a press release on the state website. His Facebook page appears to be deleted, but his LinkedIn page is active.
Boelter listed the website for Red Lion Group as "www.redliongroupdrc.com."
The website is defunct, and the Wayback machine had no archived pages for it. Boelter recently posted on LinkedIn that he was looking for work.
Authorities have not named Boelter, 57, as the suspect publicly, but he was identified through sources to the Associated Press, a Duluth television station, and the New York Post.
Public records show only one Vance Boelter in the country, and meeting minutes with the state board refer to him as Dr. Vance Boelter; the LinkedIn page for Dr. Vance Boelter gives his location as the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and lists the work on the governor's workforce development board.
On LinkedIn, he wrote that he was CEO of Red Lion Group for more than three years, and previously a general manager at 7-Eleven. He also cited experience at Greencore, Delmonte Foods, Johnsonville Sausage, and Nestle Gerber. A state document listing the Workforce Development Board members refers to him as Dr. Vance Boelter, 7-Eleven.
Fox News reported that Boelter, 57, "is reportedly the CEO of Red Lion Group, based in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Praetorian Guard Security Services, according to Minnesota Africans United’s website."
That website repeats the LinkedIn bio and says that Boelter "currently lives in Minnesota with his wife Jenny and their children." Boelter's dad's obituary also names his wife as Jenny and says his dad was a public school teacher and coach.
Walz called the shooting deaths of state Rep. and former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark in their own home a targeted political assassination. State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were also shot and wounded earlier in the morning of June 14, the governor said. All were members of the Democratic-Farm-Labor party. There is a massive manhunt for the suspect, who dressed as a police officer and had a manifesto, according to authorities.
