“Illegal commercial gambling across state and international borders is a crime,” U.S Attorney Catherine Hanaway of the Eastern District of Missouri said.
This statement would be true if it were illegal. Using illegal as the first word in a sentence does not make it illegal. But commercial gambling across state and international borders is NOT illegal. Catherine needs to get her facts straight and quit using double talk. It is only illegal IF there is a law against it, NOT because she says so
That quote is the same as saying illegal shopping is a crime, or illegal eating is a crime.
