    Tesla is not owned by the government, the cars being burnt are not leased to the Feds, and it’s unclear if Tesla is receiving Federal financial assistance in the sense meant in this law. So the law doesn’t appear to fit the facts of the case. Looks like a malicious prosecution.

      Yeah, I hope the defense attorneys run circles around it. I think Bondi is overreaching and that she’s more concerned about politics than getting a conviction. Hopefully that hurts those cases.
