Venue is the location of the crime. There are some complexities and flexibilities there, but the principle is rigid. A federal prosecutor cannot force a defendant who committed a crime in Florida, to go to trial in Oklahoma, Alaska, or any other state.
Agree, but neither will they all be heard in the DC venue which is what other methods would require
May there be a difference between the venue of the criminal jury trial, and the venue of the grand jury which issues the true bill (the indictment)?
Offenses begun in one district and continued or completed in another district may be prosecuted in any district (18 U.S.C. § 3237).
So crimes committed in the political sphere by state politicians and probably the corporate (from the interstate commerce angle) can be prosecuted pretty much any federal court?
