Alpo Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 That would normally be a state offense, correct? But if someone were attempting to blackmail a United States congressman, would that be a federal offense? Plot point in a book - made me curious.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 There are many ways to give the crime an interstate aspect and make the crime federal. Blackmail or extortion of a congressman would likely be federal anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
