Summary
Description: Former prosecutor Eric Faddis delivers a chilling legal breakdown of Vance Boelter's 45-person hit list that spanned six states and targeted Democratic officials from local representatives to governors. This comprehensive analysis reveals how Boelter's kill list transforms a double murder into potential domestic terrorism charges with federal death penalty implications. Faddis examines the legal ramifications of a target list that included Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Senator Tina Smith, Representative Ilhan Omar, and dozens of other officials across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Nebraska, and Iowa.
The expert discussion covers how prosecutors will use this extensive hit list to prove premeditation, establish federal jurisdiction, and potentially seek the death penalty in a state that abolished capital punishment. Faddis explains why the multi-state nature of the plot invokes federal terrorism statutes and how the list's existence obliterates any possible mental health defense. The conversation also explores the terrifying security implications: if one person can compile such a comprehensive target list, how many others are doing the same?
This crucial legal analysis examines how the scope of Boelter's plan - from the Praetorian Guard Security company name to the 45-person list - demonstrates a level of extremism that challenges our legal system's ability to protect democracy. Discover why this case could set precedents for prosecuting political violence and what it means when assassination lists become political documents.

| 0:00.0 | This is Hidden Killers with Tony Brewski. |
| 0:04.9 | An American Assassin, that's what we were dealing with recently. His name is Vance Bolcher. |
| 0:10.5 | He decided it would be a great idea to create a hit list and go and take out many, many people. |
| 0:17.0 | At least that was his goal. His issues seemed to have something to do with abortion and Democrats. |
| 0:23.6 | It was a very targeted hit list and on that hit list two individuals lost their lives. |
| 0:29.6 | Two ended up in very serious medical conditions after being shot multiple times by by Vance. |
| 0:38.2 | Here to discuss and break this down a little bit more. |
| 0:41.6 | Eric Fattis, defense attorney, former prosecutor. |
| 0:45.1 | Let's go to the legal end of this case and discuss that. |
| 0:48.4 | This is via federal authorities that are pursuing parallel prosecutions now with with the state of Minnesota |
| 0:57.1 | as well there is no death penalty in the state of Minnesota but when you have federal charges |
| 1:02.4 | that suddenly gets put onto the table walk us through that a little bit how does that work does that |
| 1:09.3 | mean a state trial and a federal trial? |
| 1:11.0 | Or at one point, does the state say you guys have them feds? Or what can we expect here as this inevitably moves in that direction? |
| 1:19.6 | Yeah, Tony, so there's something, you know, called the dual sovereignty doctrine, whereby the federal government can prosecute somebody for a crime in parallel and at the same time |
| 1:31.0 | as the state government. And so really what will happen is these two cases will sort of move along |
| 1:36.2 | in parallel, but they have different considerations, different potential penalties, possibly even |
| 1:43.1 | different outcomes. And so it gets a little bit confusing and complicated, but there are strategic reasons why the government would do that. |
| 1:51.7 | We obviously have the chance at that then. |
| 1:56.9 | Federal prosecutors considering the capital punishment for the crimes. |
| 2:00.8 | Would this case be tried in |
| 2:02.5 | Minnesota, even if it's a non, you know, I say they don't have capital punishment there, but could |
