Looks to me like shameless grandstanding to entertain barking seals. What’s the federal crime?
Where’s the protest of federal overreach? FBI got nothing else to do? Maybe Wray should put up an online suggestion box.
Just some possible crimes:
1. Income Tax Evasion if payoffs to victims deducted as business expense
2. Bribery if any federal official was given anything of value, including campaign contributions, to cover up his actions
3. Kidnapping if any of his victims were detained against their will
4. Communication from one state to another state with the purpose of covering up a state crime could become a federal issue. This could include conspiracy laws if some other person assisted in intimidation or payoff to cover up a crime.
