Accordingly, the Mueller investigation costs taxpayers $40 million. Isn’t that misappropriation of public funds (theft) and who is going to recover it and from whom? The coup cabal should be made to pay us back!

REALITY CHECK The Intrastate Commerce Act provides for felony charges against federal officials.

EXCERPT According to Constitutional scholar Rob Natelson, the commerce clause gave Congress power to regulate interstate commerce - not any “matters that have significant spillover effects across state lines.”

The Constitutional Convention rejected the wording of the Virginia Plan, which arguably would have let the Federal government regulate any activity with interstate spillover.

In other words, the Founders made the deliberate decision to leave many activities with spillover effects to the states. Included in the bill’s language are penalties for federal agents violating the state law – in James Madison’s words, interposition, or “standing between” the federal government and the people of the state.

The bill states that any federal agent or employee who attempts to enforce any federal act, rule or regulation over these activities is guilty of a Class 6 felony. While the measure does not seek jail time, it allows fines of up to $2,000. And any state official that tries to enforce a federal law could face a $500 fine.

======================================

In recent years, the commerce clause has been used against politician whose actions deletoriously affect the economy and interstate commerce.....under the Hobbs Act.

>===============================

Schiff, Nanzi and the Dem mob are running the Congress like a classic mob-type “Clip Joint”....taxpayers are being tricked
into paying good money and receive in return nothing but poor Congressional services that are fatally flawed.

"We are looking at abuse of power and a level of corruption here that makes the Nixon episode look like child’s play."
