How is refusing to participate in an identity theft investigation not obstruction of justice?
Surely Ajit & co travel to NY from time to time... why isn’t there an arrest warrant? Why are the states being so toothless in responding to rampant criminal behavior?
I’d like to see how I would fare if I participated in mass scale identity theft and refused to participate in the subsequent investigation.
- marcoperaza 9y agoThe federal government is the superior sovereign and does not have any obligation to answer to a state investigation. Further, withholding cooperation from an investigation is not obstruction of justice, it is your God-given right as an American. You generally only have the obligation to cooperate when you are presented with a court order. And even then, you have the right to challenge the validity of that court order.
- JTon 9y agoPerhaps because the behaviour in question is not actually criminal. Since Ajit is a lawyer, I suspect he knows very well where the lines are drawn.
- cwkoss 9y agoI suspect he also knows very well how to go past the line without leaving enough evidence to be convicted.
- rhino369 9y agoRefusing to participate isn't obstruction. It's not obstruction of justice if you refused a cop who came to your office and asked for business records. That's what happened here.
