McGarrity says otherwise. No statute to charge.
You're wrong. Again. It's now a trend. You are on a roll with getting educated.
Next time, don't become so emotional and post your nonsensical twaddle trying to entrap BoyGenius in your childish "gotcha" games.

BG's post seemed very clear to me......
McGarrity: "You're not going to find a charge of actual terrorism... if you look at Title 18. There's a statute, but it defines domestic terrorism, it's not a statute you can charge... like under 23-39 for foreign terrorist."
McGarrity goes on to explain the FBI uses multiple statutes to go after domestic terrorists ranging from weapons of mass destruction charges to gun charges and drug charges... that is according to McGarrity.

Yes, I came to the same conclusion as well.  It's defined and the criminal laws broken don't say domestic terrorism, etc. but what happens are statutes broken which can viewed as committing a domestic terror act. The rep from NY was wrong as with most things coming out of her mouth and the FBI guy was right.

First time for everything.
To this day, she still doesn't understand the law...

Her voters don't know either. Neither do they care. The vote for her solely because she is Hispanic.
The America, and the American Military, that you once knew is gone.

That is why I asked the question, repeatedly, for understanding.
It seems a bit semantic to me, they charge for crimes committed under the act and define domestic terrorism in it for some reason, but they charge for the specific incident.

Domestic terrorism is already defined under federal law — there just aren†t any criminal penalties associated with the definition. Federal law defines domestic terrorism as actions dangerous to human life that:
violate federal or state criminal law
appear intended to intimidate or coerce civilians; to influence government policy by intimidation or coercion; or to impact government conduct by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping, and
occur within the U.S.
There are cases in which domestic extremists can face federal terrorism charges. Michael German, who infiltrated extremist groups as a former FBI agent, wrote a report last year identifying 51 terrorism charges that could apply to both international and domestic acts. But most of those charges relate to hyper-specific scenarios — things like destroying an airplane, producing the smallpox virus, taking a hostage, making a threat involving weapons of mass destruction, or attacking a mass transportation system.

and asked again after explanation was given? Which isn't abnormal behavior.....and should give you indication as to why people get frustrated. It's not because you ask questions, it's because you ignore the answers and keep asking the same questions. The 'discussion' doesn't progress based on information provided. Which ultimately is illogical.

She's Hispanic and likable.

One would think McGarrity, a career FBI agent, is well versed in terrorism law vs some guy on the internet.

I missed an explanation, probably my fault.

AOC demanding higher pay, threatens she will become corrupt if not paid more... https://www.redstate.com/bradslager/2019...-rewarded/
Yep. Voting against cost of living increases for members of Congress may sound nice, but doing so only increases pressure on them to keep dark money loopholes open. This makes campaign finance reform *harder.* ALL workers deserve cost of living increases, incl min wage workers. https://t.co/fCdgHKx4G1 — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 11, 2019
