I get the feeling that crimes like conspiracy would be pretty easy to make the venue "pliable" lets say. Corruption related conspiracies might be hard to pin down to an exact location. There could be multiple venues depending on the number of conspirators, the location of the company or organization, etc.

Let's say, for example, a politician from Arizona wouldn't necessarily have to be charged in DC. He could be charged maybe in Arizona, his place of "residence."

I think the venue argument is overthinking the situation.

I'm confident that the Trump/Q/Sessions/Horowitz/Huber team can work with the venue problem. They have hashed this out more thoroughly than we have, I'll reckon.

I know next to nothing about law, but I think I read somewhere that crimes of treason (aiding and abetting the enemy) had quite different rules. I’m guessing those who are charged with treason are going to be tried by military tribunals. Gitmo?

Hope so.
