1.)What is it you have a problem with?
2.) Please explain to me why this is a federal case.
3.) The feds can't just come in and take a case over when they have no jurisdiction.
4.) Was the victim a federal employee or did this happen on federal property?
5.) This was a local assault case period.
6.) I haven't checked it out, but an earlier poster said the feds can come in of the local case fails.
7.) Please show me where the local case was even filed, let alone failed.

In the United States, a federal crime or federal offense is an act that is made illegal by U.S. federal legislation. In the United States, criminal law and prosecution happen at both the federal and the state levels; thus a “federal crime” is one that is prosecuted under federal criminal law, and not under a state's criminal law, under which most of the crimes committed in the United States are prosecuted.
Hate crime laws in the United States protect against hate crimes (also known as bias crimes) motivated by enmity or animus against a protected class. Although state laws vary, current statutes permit federal prosecution of hate crimes committed on the basis of a person's protected characteristics of race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)/FBI, as well as campus security authorities, are required to collect and publish hate crime statistics.
like i said your post about what the feds can do is factually wrong
now i will ask the question s you keep dodging and running away from AGAIN and i bet you dodge them again.
Your question is what is holders "motivation" and i told you i dont know it seems the FEDS are doing thie jobs by law unless you have other info
so i ask
A.)What have his(holders) comments been? what as he said?
B.) is there something off topic you read that you want to discuss?
C.) was holder even mentioned in the OP?
D.)Maybe it was in the video i didnt watch the video all i read in the OP was this
"Hate crimes tear at the fabric of entire communities," U.S. Acting Assistant Attorney General Jocelyn Samuels said Thursday in a Justice Department statement announcing the charge against Barrett. "As always, the Civil Rights Division will work with our federal and state law enforcement partners to ensure that hate crimes are identified and prosecuted, and that justice is done."
Maybe that answers your question? does it?
lets see if you answer and now understand the feds can do this
