27. You are more optimistic than I am.

I expect that the Trump regime to claim that the incident related to the enforcement of immigration laws, which are areas of exclusive federal jurisdiction. Combined with the fact that the FBI has taken all the on-scene evidence relating to the actions of the agents away from the BCA, a state court prosecution will be difficult. I hope they do it, but I'm not hopeful that they will succeed.
