if so Trump or one of his goons could walk in there and gun down democratic leadership then be pardonned by Trump.
Would not these murders be federal crimes and thus pardonable ?

His goons would go through the administrative screening process. Therefore no gun

. . . wherever it may occur.

DC or congress are federal grounds so the only crime would be federal and it can be pardoned.

(9,313 posts)7. Hmmm. What about D.C. Superior Court jurisdiction?
With the logic of it also being under state court jurisdiction, wouldn't it also be under D.C. Superior Court Jurisdiction if it occurs in D.C.? I don't think D.C. Superior Court is considered a federal court, but the system in D.C. is a bit of a mystery to me.
