Well he did just that. He's currently in Pennsylvania fighting extradition to New York. Plus he apparently lives in Honolulu, from which he traveled to the "bean counter conference" he knew Thompson would be at.
That sounds federal enough to me.
Too bad that the current president considers institutions and norms much more important than the health and happiness of regular people and the incoming one is enthusiastically in favor of and a perpatrator of predatory corporate practices, making the chances of a pardon from either of them literally nonexistent.
Crimes crossing state lines means he would have to kill someone in a different state as well. Committing a crime in one state and then just fleeing to another doesn't make the case federal.
What if he planned it in one state and carried it out in another? Would that count?
At least for murder, that would only apply if the guy was in New Jersey and shot someone in New York with a sniper rifle. For instance, the Unabomber got federal murder charges because he sent his bombs across state lines. The act itself has to cross state lines.
