The question becomes: Is this crime pardonable? If yes, how likely the current administration will pardon those people?

- astrange 2y agoThey can't do anything about state AGs. Federalism is kind of silly but it works out here.
- alwa 2y agoCan state AGs prosecute federal crimes, like this one?
- astrange 2y agoNo, but if it affects someone in the state there's usually something to get them on.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoMy understanding is that anyone can sue anyone in theory. Ideally, yes. In practice, the State AG's are one of the most respectable powers to sue for a federal law being broken, which would then go to federal court. Ideally the SCOTUS would step in itself and injunction all this stuff so it doesn't get to this point, but Trump sure is working them overtime.
