    She wasn’t convicted of a Federal Crime. That’s the issue. The federal system has no precedent for taking her into custody.

    The federal govt doesn’t run elections.

        Not even what’s happening. They’re trying to silently pardon her because she’s a Trump fanatic. They can’t pardon her, so are trying to abuse the system to get her out of custody.
