“Why is this a federal issue?”
Because it’s Washington D.C., not in one of the 50 states.
The ASSistant US Attorneys, the IRS goons and the Postal dweebs thought they'd swoop in, do an asset freeze and seizure, and life would be grand for another fiscal cycle.
But the swag bag blew up in their faces, just like the dyed money bags from a bank robbery.
LOLOL!!!
