Snipped for response’s clarity.My bigger question is WHERE did BL use the card? Did he use it on federal land? If he took off in the van and then--down the road--realized her purse was still tucked under the seat where she kept it and took out the credit card and used it (after he was off federal land), would it still qualify as a federal crime?
The indictment (I believe) mentioned that the fraud interrupted interstate commerce. So imo it’s not that he committed fraud on federal land, but it’s the multi-state aspect of the fraud that makes it a federal offense.
