Thanks for your reply.
Your points a - e are worth consideration. However, Renard is well aware of Wesen crime in Portland. His two top detectives provided information vital to the detention and transport of Wemlinger. He decided to do nothing and now two US Marshalls are dead. If the justice department deposes him under oath will he just plead ignorance?

Hey New Guy-
That would be a very interesting scenario if it happened, wouldn't it?
This episode got me thinking about a few things.
We know Wemlinger's a dangerous man. However, he worked with Childs for a while without doing any harm to the guy. It was only when Childs discovered the half million dollar loss and ordered him to call the police that Wemlinger retaliated. I'm not taking Wemlinger's side in all of this, I just want to bring up something.
Hank and Pogue question Wemlinger and he for the most part cooperates with them. Hank then decides to bring him in, and if I remember correctly, contrary to Pogue's suggestion that there was no evidence Wemlinger committed the murder.
You were talking about blame earlier, that Renard should take the blame for the marshalls' deaths. But in reality, Renard had nothing to do with what happened. It actually started with Hank and ended with Nick.
Hank secretly calls Nick and tells him to come down, despite the fact that Renard put him on leave. Nick watches Hank questioning Wemlinger behind the two way mirror. At one point Hank antagonizes and physically manhandles Wemlinger, throwing him into the mirror and daring him to woge. Which of course he does. Later, after the marshals take custody, Nick makes a point of telling them (right in front of Wemlinger) that he's dangerous.
Was Wemlinger provoked by Hank and Nick into attacking the marshals? Did they physically and mentally push him to the brink where he felt he had to retaliate?
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
