And the feds have what authority to investigate state governments?
If something is corrupt, it always has to be investigated by a higher up. That’s in any business or anything...basic common sense. It’s the whole reason we have the Supreme Court, really.
The indictment cites violations of a number of federal laws:
Conspiracy to violate federal laws
Bribery related to use of federal funds
Fraud
Racketeering
Money laundering
False statements
Witness tampering
Oh, and by the way....if you read the Federal Indictment, the Alabama State Government is not listed as a defendant. It is not an investigation of the Alabama State Government. It is an investigation of individuals, who are being charged with committing several Federal crimes. The Alabama State Government has not been charged with anything.
