No, "it would be like being acquitted in Russia and then charged in Moscow" or "it would be like being acquitted in Argentina and then charged in Buenos Aires".

Actually, it's precisely not like that because they are not separate sovereign entities, like the states are separate sovereign entities from the federal government.

This is exactly why it is not like being acquitted in russia and then charged in moscow. Being acquitted in russia and then charged in moscow would be double jeopardy.
