The prosecution has to be where the crime occurred. If the crime is unlawfully accessing the NSA database located in Utah, that may be a sufficient “nexus” to the crime to allow for jurisdiction in Utah. If the crime is leaking to a reporter based in VA who printed it in the NYT and it was distributed worldwide, jurisdiction could be valid in multiple places. In such cases, the defendant can bring a motion for lack of jurisdiction, and if jurisdiction exists, but there is a more appropriate place for trial, a defendant can bring a motion for change of venue.

The 6th amendment doesn’t stop Huber from trying a case anywhere; it just says he has to have the trial where the crime occurred.

Perhaps that explains Lindsey Graham’s questions to Judge Kavanaugh about military tribunals.

But...no one has said anything about ^prosecutions^, regardless of location. Not even Q.

Huber is investigating and gathering evidence for GJ trials. He is a member of the US DOJ and, as such, Huber can command 470 lawyers throughout the country, in every circuit. He can recommend a GJ in any state or territory of the US. He doesn’t have to prosecute in those venues.
