(102,263 posts)already brought. It is at least conceivable that one or more states have charges prepped for that eventuality. Double jeopardy can't attach (to the extent that it DOES apply) if not charged on the specific offense in Federal court, so if Mueller is being judicious in those charges he brings and leaving some in reserve, this is at least a possibility. it has been reported that Mueller was coordinating with Schneiderman before his dismissal. If so, the Acting AG may well have progressed on those plans.
NY is not the only jurisdiction that may be similarly preparing charges. Those states like NY, NJ, CT that have much experience prosecuting organized crime, have considerable experience and capabilities in producing indictments under seal. Those can be acted upon fairly quickly.
So, I'm not so sure he's going to make it on that plane to whichever "NO EXTRADITION" paradise he may have picked out. Not to mention the reported very real risks to his life from those oligarchs to whom he owes big $$$.
