The investigation into Woody Kaine — the son of former Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine — and several other anti-Trump protesters remains “active,” according to the Ramsey County attorney’s office.

The office wants “any and all witnesses” to come forward — and said it won’t be swayed by politics, according to a statement released by prosecutors Friday.

Linwood Kaine, who goes by Woody, and four others were forcibly arrested by police on March 4 after disrupting a March 4 rally for President Donald Trump inside the rotunda of the Minnesota Capitol in St. Paul, according to police and video of the event, which shows masked individuals invading the event and lobbing a smoke bomb.

The office of Ramsey County attorney John Choi initially declined to bring felony charges, prompting a drumbeat of criticism that culminated in a Republican demonstration Saturday. Choi has said he didn’t know who Kaine, the youngest son of the U.S. senator and Hillary Clinton’s running mate, was. The St. Paul city attorney’s office has continued to weigh possible misdemeanor charges in consultation with the State Patrol.

On Friday, Choi’s office cited “misinformation circulating in our community” and attempted to clarify things by releasing a statement that read, in part, “At this time, as there is an active investigation into the incidents that occurred on March 4, 2017, we encourage any and all witnesses to call the State Patrol at 651.296.6741 to assist in their investigation.”

Attempts to reach Woody Kaine and the others arrested have been unsuccessful.

‘FOUNDATION OF DEMOCRACY’

Here is the statement in its entirety:

“When people seek to prevent others who are peacefully assembled from making their voices heard, it threatens the very foundation of our democracy. We understand why such incidents evoke strong emotions and can make it difficult to be patient to give law enforcement the time they need to conduct a thorough investigation. Based on the calls we have received, there seems to be some misinformation circulating in our community.

“By law, County Attorney’s Offices charge adult felony-level offenses and City Attorney’s Offices charge gross misdemeanors and misdemeanors. All prosecutors are ethically required to have sufficient admissible evidence – that can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt – in order to file criminal charges. An experienced prosecutor reviewed two cases initially presented to the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office and determined they lacked sufficient admissible evidence of any felony crimes. The Saint Paul City Attorney’s Office also reviewed those cases for possible gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor crimes and sent them back to law enforcement for further investigation.

“At this time, as there is an active investigation into the incidents that occurred on March 4, 2017, we encourage any and all witnesses to call the State Patrol at 651.296.6741 to assist in their investigation.

“As we have stated previously, as with any other case we decline, if additional investigation provides sufficient admissible evidence that proves individuals committed crimes, we will charge those individuals – as we do in all cases – without any consideration of their political viewpoints or affiliations.”
