Is there evidence of it within the public realm that can be used against her and the state she represents during a lawsuit. I'm glad to see the rule of law no longer matters to those on the Left. It's going to make the elimination of those on the Left much easier. So, I hope you don't bitch about one of us having the same power as her and the freedom to use public resources as a political tool/weapon against people like you and her either. Oh, now that fascism is acceptable to you and since you're now related to it and currently supporting it, does it really matter if we are fascists or not at this point? You do understand that you are supporting fascism and you do understand that you are more likely going to be harmed or be killed one way or another because of your association with it today.(05-20-2021, 01:48 PM)pbrower2a Wrote: Can states block federal extradition?
Consider that the FBI typically charges its quarry with an offense for which people rarely get convicted: interstate flight to evade prosecution. The FBI usually drops that federal charge because the state charges such as murder, rape, kidnapping, armed robbery, or even grand theft auto are more consequential.
There is no escaping IRS charges for tax fraud. States cannot block an IRS investigation.
The US Postal Service catches a surprising number of offenders on mail fraud, wire fraud, and bank fraud. I would suspect that the largest number of white-collar offenders in the federal penal system were convicted of mail fraud, wire fraud, or bank fraud. Almost any scam involves a violation of mail fraud, wire fraud, or bank fraud.
Once one is in federal custody, the state government can no longer protect one. State officials cannot protect anyone from an IRS audit, let alone charges of just about anything. If the Feds get their hands on the former President, then the Feds can decide where he is tried. It could be Georgia for electoral fraud (which would involve wire fraud due to the phone call) or New York for various tax offenses.
It's notable that the NY State Attorney General joined an NYC case in progress, and the District Attorney is happy about that. There may be some collaboration, or it could just be intended to avoid one party granting immunity to person A, when the other entity needs to have him or her on the hot seat. Prior to the collaboration, the state was only pursing civil penalties. Not so now.
