I'm all for what your saying but think whoever does it will be toast.
I *think* that if a state-level criminal charge is tried in a particular county (like where the crime occurred), then the jury is pulled from that county. While Federal courts are indeed in cities, I would think that the jury would be drawn from that Federal "district", which of course would encompass much more than that liberal city alone (like podunk areas also).
From a little online research it appears that change of venue requests are not usually done by the prosecution, mostly by the defendant.
Since the Federal government wants to use the DoJ as a weapon, I am fully onboard with jury "escapades" like nullification or one person hanging it. Sad it has to come to this but we have to fight back however we can.
