Two-Thirds of the Country Has Known How Disgusting the GOP is For Decades. The Interstate Anti-Corruption Compact Put Them in Prison, and It’s 100% Constitutional.

You don’t need more evidence. You need a prosecution strategy. Here it is.

Author’s Note: This is a 5-8 minute read. It looks longer because of the contact information for all 23 Democratic state attorneys general and governors at the end, which you will need when you are ready to help put these people where they belong.

Bottom Line Up Front: State attorneys general can prosecute Donald Trump for crimes committed in their states right now. They can prosecute Tom Homan for documented bribery. They can prosecute Kristi Noem for contract fraud. They can prosecute every person in the Epstein files. The Interstate Anti-Corruption Compact gives them the framework to coordinate across state lines, share evidence, and build cases that stick. They do not need permission from D.C. The power exists today.

You already know who he is.

You knew when Trump was named as a co-defendant with Jeffrey Epstein in a 2008 civil case involving a thirteen-year-old girl. You knew when flight logs showed who traveled to the island. You knew when the Access Hollywood tape dropped and sixty-three million people voted for him anyway. Two-thirds of this country has known for over a decade, and we have watched the federal government protect him and everyone around him instead of prosecuting them.

This is not another article about what Trump did. We are done rehashing evidence that has been public for years while waiting for institutions that will never act. This is about every single person who belongs in handcuffs and the completely legal mechanism that puts them there.

Trump makes everything about himself. We are not going to do that. He is one name on a long list of powerful people who have escaped accountability because federal institutions chose protection over prosecution. The border czar who took fifty thousand dollars in cash from FBI agents. The Homeland Security Secretary who funneled contracts to her allies. Every participant in Epstein’s operation whose name sits in documents that prosecutors have ignored for years. Every member of Congress who committed crimes in states with Democratic attorneys general. All of them.

The Interstate Anti-Corruption Compact is how we get all of them.

Every participating state creates a dedicated task force with career prosecutors and full investigative authority. They coordinate across state lines, sharing evidence regardless of where crimes occurred. When California finds evidence touching New York, they send it to New York. When New York documents crimes involving New Mexico, they refer it to New Mexico. Every referral becomes public. Every declination by a red state attorney general gets documented as protection of corruption.

Congress authorized interstate compacts for criminal law enforcement in 1934. Under the Crime Control Consent Act, states can enter agreements for mutual assistance in preventing crime and enforcing criminal laws. All fifty states already use this authority to coordinate on probation, parole, and sex offender registries through the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision. The legal framework exists and has been tested for decades. States can use it to prosecute everyone who deserves prosecution. They just have to decide to do it.

The jurisdiction is clear. New York Attorney General Letitia James has authority over crimes committed in Manhattan. Florida has jurisdiction over what happened in Palm Beach County. New Mexico has jurisdiction over crimes at Zorro Ranch. Every state where Epstein operated can investigate and prosecute sex trafficking and conspiracy that occurred within its borders. The evidence sits in court filings that are now public. The witnesses are available. State attorneys general have everything they need except the will to act.

The current administration provides no shortage of additional targets. Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, was recorded by FBI agents accepting fifty thousand dollars in cash from individuals seeking government contracts in Dallas on September 20, 2024. Six independent news organizations confirmed the details. Internal DOJ documents showed prosecutors believed charges were warranted. Trump’s political appointees shut down the investigation anyway. The evidence exists. State attorneys general can investigate and prosecute bribery that occurred within their jurisdictions.

Kristi Noem, Homeland Security Secretary, directed portions of a two hundred twenty million dollar DHS advertising campaign to a firm run by her spokesperson’s husband through subcontracting arrangements that bypassed competitive bidding requirements. ProPublica documented the scheme. Federal oversight that would normally catch this fraud no longer exists because Trump fired seventeen inspectors general within days of taking office and gutted the DOJ Public Integrity Section from approximately thirty prosecutors to fewer than six. State attorneys general can investigate contract fraud involving their state vendors and prosecute the conspiracy.

Federal accountability is gone and it is not coming back under this administration. Republicans control Congress and will not impeach or investigate their own. The FBI and Department of Justice cannot be relied upon to execute their duties in good faith. The Supreme Court is captured and will continue granting immunity claims that shield corruption from consequences. Traditional mechanisms have failed.

What remains is state sovereignty. Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general with hundreds of career prosecutors, subpoena power, and jurisdiction over crimes committed within their borders. That is not nothing. That is an enormous amount of power sitting unused while we watch criminals operate with impunity.

State attorneys general are institutionalists. That is how they got elected. They rose through legal systems by following rules and respecting procedures. They believe institutions matter and norms constrain behavior. That worldview made sense when everyone operated within shared democratic constraints.

It does not work against people who have abandoned those constraints entirely. Filing briefs while the administration dismantles the rule of law is not sufficient. Appealing to precedent while Trump appoints judges who ignore precedent is not sufficient. Playing chess while the other side pours gasoline on the board and lights a match is not sufficient.

German democrats followed procedures while Nazis abandoned them. By the time democrats realized the rules had changed, it was too late. We do not have time to wait for several cycles of stolen elections before we acknowledge what we are facing.

Yes, Trump will retaliate. He already indicted Letitia James. The cost of acting is real. The cost of not acting is everything.

The strategy requires launching hundreds of investigations simultaneously across twenty-three states. Overwhelm them. California investigates financial crimes touching California institutions. New York prosecutes crimes that occurred in Manhattan. Illinois charges conspiracy involving Illinois banks. Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, every blue state plus D.C. running parallel criminal investigations.

Every investigation forces corrupt officials to hire lawyers, sit for depositions, face subpoenas, and testify under oath. They spend money on legal defense instead of enacting their agenda. They spend time in courtrooms instead of consolidating power. Some flip on others to save themselves. Fear spreads. Every official wonders whether they are next.

Civil litigation has its place. California Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed forty-six lawsuits against Trump administration policies. States have won cases and restored billions in federal money. That work matters.

But civil litigation accepts the premise that these officials are legitimate actors who sometimes exceed their authority. Criminal prosecution asserts what we already know: they are criminals who belong in prison. We do not sue criminals. We arrest them.

The Existentialist Republic has nearly forty thousand subscribers. If half of us execute the full contact strategy below, that means twenty thousand calls, twenty thousand emails, twenty thousand public social media posts, thousands of contacts to governors, and thousands of notifications to national publications. That volume creates a political crisis that state attorneys general cannot ignore and a story that media cannot avoid covering.

Here is what we do. Contact your state attorney general through every available channel. Then do the same with your governor. Then contact the media. Make three specific demands everywhere: First, create a Public Corruption Task Force with dedicated prosecutors and investigators focused exclusively on federal crimes. Second, join an interstate coordination agreement with other states to share evidence and coordinate investigations. Third, begin criminal investigations immediately of Trump administration officials who have committed crimes touching your state, including everyone implicated in the Epstein files.

THE FULL CONTACT STRATEGY:

Start with the easiest actions and work toward the ones requiring more effort. Even if you live in a red state, you can contact these officials on social media and tell them to step up.

Put the following scripts into your own words. Research shows that doing so results in your contact being taken much more seriously. Add emotion and authenticity into what you send.

Step 1: Post on Social Media (Easiest)

Twitter/X: Tag your AG’s official account and post: “I’m demanding @[AGhandle] create a Public Corruption Task Force and join an Interstate Anti-Corruption Compact to investigate federal crimes in [State]. Trump officials are operating with impunity. #StateCorruptionCompact”

Facebook: Find your AG’s official page and post in comments: “Our state AG must join the Interstate Anti-Corruption Compact and begin criminal investigations of Trump administration officials who committed crimes in [State]. Federal accountability is gone. State prosecution is all we have left. #StateCorruptionCompact”

If you are in a red state: Post on blue state AG accounts saying “I’m in [red state] where my AG won’t act. I’m asking @[BlueStateAG] to investigate Trump administration corruption. Someone has to enforce the law. #StateCorruptionCompact”

Step 2: Use Online Contact Forms

Find your AG’s official website contact form by searching “[State] Attorney General contact.” Write three to five sentences stating your demands clearly. Explain why this matters to you personally, because form letters get ignored while personal stories do not. You can attach this article for more detail. Request a written response.

Step 3: Email Your Governor

Use the same strategy with their official website contact form. Make the same three demands. Explain why this matters to you.

Step 4: Contact Local Media

Email your local newspaper, TV station, and radio station. Template: “I just demanded our state attorney general create a Public Corruption Task Force to prosecute Trump administration crimes. Federal enforcement collapsed. State AGs have jurisdiction and they’re refusing to use it. Tom Homan took $50,000 in cash from FBI agents and the case was killed. Why isn’t anyone investigating?”

Step 5: Make Phone Calls (Most Impact)

Call both your AG and Governor using numbers below. When you reach a staffer, say: “I’m calling about three things: First, create a Public Corruption Task Force for federal crimes. Second, join an Interstate Anti-Corruption Compact with other states. Third, begin investigating Trump administration officials who committed crimes in our state, including everyone in the Epstein files.” Add why this matters to you. Ask what they are doing about federal corruption. Document the response.

Execute all five steps if you can. Document your actions. Post screenshots. Tag #StateCorruptionCompact so others can see and join.

This is how we build it. Not a single prosecution that fades from memory. Not a symbolic victory that changes nothing structural. Twenty-three states with coordinated criminal enforcement capacity that outlasts any single administration. A permanent infrastructure of accountability that makes the next generation of corrupt officials think twice before they act, because they know states will prosecute what the federal government protects.

We are not asking anyone to do anything radical. We are asking state attorneys general to use legal mechanisms that already exist to hold powerful people accountable for documented crimes. That is their job. We are asking them to do their job.

Multi-platform contact from thousands of constituents forces every attorney general to calculate whether the political cost of inaction exceeds the risk of retaliation. It makes every corrupt official in D.C. wonder if they are next. It shifts the psychology from impunity to fear. It generates media coverage that amplifies pressure. It creates momentum.

This is what opposition looks like when we are serious. Not defense. Not litigation. Criminal investigations leading to arrests. State attorneys general working together across twenty-three states to prosecute everyone who belongs in prison, from the Cabinet secretary who took cash from FBI agents to the billionaire who trafficked children to every participant whose name has been protected for too long.

That is the country we are building. One where no one is above the law. Where state sovereignty means something. Where accountability is the norm instead of the exception.

Let’s get after it.
