6. but is is a federal crime?
being a hate crime does not automatically make it a federal case. Now if some group of 6'4' black guys sues her for it (please, that would be a GREAT class-action suit!) in federal court that is different, but if she is only charged for filing a false police report (anyone know about the local persecutor? is he/she a RW'er who may quash it?) in local or state court, even if under hate crime provisions, it still would not be in the presidents jurisdiction. All speculation on my part BTW :)

2. No way, no how.
She either needs to be in a state hospital, or, if she is just a garden-variety sociopath, a state prison. Someone could have died from a stunt like that, and if she is left to walk among us she will only come up with something even more dangerous and irresponsible to pull.

4. She may not but it sends the message that there aren't repercussions
for actions like these.
