    crimes that involve crossing state lines.

    Well he did just that. He’s currently in Pennsylvania fighting extradition to New York. Plus he apparently lives in Honolulu, from which he traveled to the “bean counter conference” he knew Thompson would be at.

    That sounds federal enough to me.

    Too bad that the current president considers institutions and norms much more important than the health and happiness of regular people and the incoming one is enthusiastically in favor of and a perpatrator of predatory corporate practices, making the chances of a pardon from either of them literally nonexistent.

      Crimes crossing state lines means he would have to kill someone in a different state as well. Committing a crime in one state and then just fleeing to another doesn’t make the case federal.
