Don't see it in notables so if it's a repost my apologies, but FBI Vault released a doc today on Insane Clown Posse investigation from 2011. Clowns caught my attention. Federal criminal investigations in SLC UT also caught my attention.
"USAO District of Utah, is very aggressive in the prosecution of Hobbs Act robberies. "

The Hobbs Act prohibits actual or attempted robbery or extortion affecting interstate or foreign commerce "in any way or degree." Section 1951 also proscribes conspiracy to commit robbery or extortion without reference to the conspiracy statute at 18 U.S.C. § 371. The statutory prohibition of "physical violence to any person or property in furtherance of a plan or purpose to do anything in violation of this section" is confined to violence for the purpose of committing robbery or extortion.

I can't help but wonder this show we are enjoying will include actual clowns being perp walked in handcuffs. Please let it be so.
