Although you spin it, it doesn't need to be spun.

US gov't cannot be trusted to make the ultimate decision to kill someone.

Trump of all people should know this.

As commander in chief, he can order the military to kill people. Having the Just-us department do it is unnecessary. But then those deaths are on him. If the Just-Us department does it, it was out of his hands.
