(112,139 posts)4. It appears they want to transfer her by extortion but if that fails bring a Federal charge...
But those made-up charges are extremely unlikely to result in anything but early dismissal. If they do manage a conviction which would allow them to eventually free her from Federal custody (pardon, commutation, or whatever)... she'd still have to go back to state prison to complete THAT sentence. So, I do not get what their big plan is. Maybe they are that damned ignorant to think the first part would end the entire matter.
