I say put ‘em in Barney Frank’s DC apartment — he’ll know just what to “do” with them......what they really “need”

"Probably not NYC after today."

This is what's laughable about this whole idea of trying them in Federal Court. People - to include the administration - are pretending that they have some control over where they'll be tried. They don't. It's a matter that, for all practical legal purposes, is left entirely to the Court. And, Federal Law gives great deference to the right's of the accused with respect to where the trial will be held. Essentially, the government could file the indictment in Alaska, then the defendant could (and would) move to change venue. In all likelihood, that motion would succeed.

This is but ONE of the thousands of things that can (and probably will) go against the government in Federal court.
