How does the Mann Act work in the District of Columbia?

[FarCenter]

Are the boundaries of the District of Columbia "state lines"?

If a politician in DC hires a hooker from Maryland or Virginia, is that a Mann Act offense?

Clearly, if a politician in Bethesda hires an Arlington hooker, he's in big trouble (or vice versa).

Maybe DC is considered part of Maryland? Or maybe it is a "free trade" zone?

Wasn't there a case where politicians took hookers out on a yacht in the Potomac?

Better be sure your GPS is working!

1. I hadn't heard the Mann Act referenced since I was a kid

in the 1950s. If he gets nailed on that it is a major comment on the politization of justice.
Sounds mostly like he is a sleaze and a hypocrite and an idiot. If those were crimes we'd have few politicians.

4. Unless you think the FBI has no power in DC - your point is dead. Of course it counts.

5. I think he is in trouble over the way he split $$ transfers to avoid the law

You can't transfer over $10k cash without doing extra paperwork.
