Hey, good morning, folks.

It is Saturday, January 17th, and as of this recording, it is 8 degrees. In Minneapolis, it feels like

one below. And by this evening, it's going to feel like 8 below. But would you believe

things are actually getting hotter in Minneapolis? And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. Robs, really, people have had a lot of hopes. And we're coming on this Saturday morning because there have been significant developments overnight. But a lot of people really felt like the best chance, maybe, for things to calm down. It's going to be freezing. Nobody wants to go out in that stuff. Right. Exactly. It's going to be bad weather this week. There have been studies about violence in cities and how it relates to temperature. And it is a known

criminal investigation of the two leaders, essentially, of what we've been seeing going on

in that state. And this shouldn't be that shocking, because this is now, unfortunately, it seems par for the course,

that if you disagree with the administration, if you go against or you oppose what the administration is doing or saying,

you subject yourself potentially to a DOJ investigation. That is what we have seen.

And so, yes, Tim Walts and Jacob Fry are the two latest political folks who are now being threatened with criminal charges by the Trump administration.

Perceived, right? Perceived political enemies, as we seem to like to say.

But these perceived enemies might be dragged into a courtroom.

We'll give you the details of that and what they said in response to that.

The other major headline is that there has been a ruling by a judge, a federal judge,
