On Feb. 8, a woman was found dead in a Manhattan hotel room, bludgeoned to death with an iron.

This week, the police announced that a 26-year-old man suspected of committing the crime had been arrested in Arizona, where he was accused of stabbing another woman a few days after the homicide in New York. A Manhattan prosecutor flew to Arizona to discuss bringing the man back to face charges.

In most homicide cases across the country, it would be a routine extradition. But on Wednesday, an Arizona prosecutor refused, saying she did not believe Alvin L. Bragg, Manhattan’s district attorney, could be trusted to keep him behind bars.

Rachel Mitchell, the Maricopa County attorney, said at a news conference on Wednesday that her team would not work with Mr. Bragg, whose office is seeking to charge the man, Raad Almansoori, in the killing of 38-year-old Denisse Oleas-Arancibia.

1. I am sure she will claim this is about bail in New York.

I am not at all sure it isn't MAGA insanity.

2. Well, there's certainly a lot of that going around lately.

It's all just getting crazier and crazier.

5. Of course it's MAGA insanity.

Bragg got a grand jury to indict Trump in New York.

They will protect viscous murders for Trump. It's a mental disease. Trump is their Fuhrer. End of story.
