Isn't this a bit like calling a federal prosecution after a state prosecution over the same events double jeopardy?
Doesn't the state (federal or not) only pretend to respect double jeopardy when the exact same prosecuting entity is attempting to prosecute under the exact same law?
These are different charges. The last impeachment was about Ukraine. These last 4 arrests were all about classified documents, January 6th, and the election. I don't see how it could be double jeopardy.
Not really. The Military is a fine example. The State will hit with State charges and the Military will also charge under Federal charges. With Jack Smith his charges are Federal and Congress came with Federal charges now you have double jeopardy. Many times the State will drop charges to save money and hand it over to Federal authorities.
