If it’s a federal crime, why does it have to be tried in DC? Based on the charges, couldn’t he tried in any federal court?

“Bull” Durham’s up in Connecticut, isn’t he?

Have the trial there.

Still a democrat shithole, but not as bad as the District of Corruption.

6th Amendment: In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

If the criminal conduct occurred in DC, then it is required to be tried in DC.

I believe that was Barr’s intent in appointing Durham to investigate spygate, Fisa, and other related matters. He will be tried in Fairfield county, the most republican leaning county in Connecticut. They can find a fair jury in that district.
