No, this is not a satirical post.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration confirmed on Monday it is investigating Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for allegedly decapitating a dead whale carcass and transporting it home two decades ago.

On Saturday, Kennedy said at a campaign event in Arizona he received a letter from the National Marine Fisheries Services, an organization that falls underneath NOAA, informing him he was under investigation for an incident he said occurred 20 years ago in which he collected a dead whale specimen.

A spokesperson for NOAA confirmed to CNN on Monday that Kennedy is under investigation for the incident.

While one would think after twenty years that there would be a statute of limitations regarding cases like this, unfortunately, Donald Trump learned that isn’t always the case. The Biden-Harris administration can, likely, bypass those troublesome restrictions by citing one or both of these exceptions:

  • He still possesses the whale head, which I believe he does.
  • He hid his crimes, and they were only recently discovered when he confessed.

However, it is unknown if the crime committed would apply to carcasses since the whale was deceased when Kennedy beheaded it. In any event, this is seemingly nothing more than a way to politically persecute a political opponent and the Biden-Harris administration knows no bounds in trying to destroy their opposition using the legal system as a weapon to do so.
