The purported invite to the FBI from Transnistria led me to google "does the FBI operate overseas?" I came up with the text below from the FBI's website which leads me to the interesting question of whether the FBI could respond to a request from an entity that the United States doesn't recognize as a state. Sounds like the invitation would have to come from Moldova (not really sure.)
"A number of U.S. federal laws give the FBI authority to investigate extraterritorial criminal and terrorist activity. The FBI, however, conducts investigations abroad only when invited by the host country. In most cases, our international partners gather evidence and make arrests on behalf of, or in close cooperation with, the Bureau.
Each legat is established through mutual agreement with the host country and is located in that nation’s U.S. embassy or consulate. FBI personnel abroad serve under the authority of the Department of State, chief of mission at U.S. embassies, at the pleasure of ambassadors and host country governments."
I am in town for several weeks. I understand you are managing the Tap Room. I can drop in some afternoon next week if that is convenient for you. Carla
There is much to contemplate. Spring has sprung, today felt like wintrr to me. I have been in Chisinau for going on two weeks and am interested in meeting you.
