I think the United States is more about charging people with crimes and ruining their lives that way rather than disappearing people. Russia might kill you with Polonium and make sure everyone knows it, but America will straight up “legally“ torture you in prison via several means and then argue successfully that those methods were legal and convince the world you weren’t tortured. Anyone who’s a target for that treatment, though, knows that’s a lie.

The FBI will just interview you over whatever and then charge you for lying to a federal agent or dig up some other unrelated dirt. While the original investigation gets mysteriously dropped a year later.
