>obstruction of justice Fair point. Personally I still think this is overreach but I can follow the legal footing on that.

  How is it an overreach to define finding who is a LEO and feeding them false information to deceive them and waste their time as obstruction of justice?

    Because protectionist taxi regulations enacted and enforced by local officials are a local issue. Just because the DOJ can shoehorn a legal argument together to assert jurisdiction doesn't mean it isn't yet another overreach by the already bloated bureaucracy known as the United States government.

      It's not a local issue when a multinational organization is doing the same thing across an entire country. Then it's rightly a federal issue.

        If you start with the assumption that the US federal government is bloated and overreaching as a principle, then no matter the facts, you'll still arrive at the conclusion that the US federal government is bloated and overreaching. Logic isn't really relevant.
