Yes but they can also charge it as a state crime. In fact if they want to be real bastards and the state and federal statute are somewhat different you can be charged both state and federal. Next time rob a local 7-11. Stay away from anything federally insured; do NOT rob post offices.

Yes. They are insured by the FDIC and they are in the business of finance, which affects interstate commerce and is therefore within the purview of federal jurisdiction.
