OOOOOHHHHHH, I was wondering where the hook came in for the EO issued earlier today. More favors and corruption. Trump is trying to get back into NYC.

Since you can’t convict somebody for the same crime twice (double jeopardy) the state and the federal government have to decide together which to charge. Usually they go with whatever has the greater punishment. When charges are dropped like this it just opens for the next guy to pick them up, in this case NY.
To be clear, IANAL
A state can’t, and fed can’t, but both can, exclusively to each other.
