Because it happened before Congress, I doubt a prosecutor would touch it. There’s specifically a lot of latitude given for purportedly acting as an elected official. It would probably take her saying, repeatedly, that she wasn’t presenting it as a congressperson but as a private citizen to overcome that hurdle.
But I am not a lawyer, and I’ll defer to someone with better information who contradicts me.

Yeah, that was my thinking as well. This seems like a political football that DC prosecutors would hesitate to touch.
