Re: probation violation
If you're asking whether the time you served on a federal charge can now be credited against so-called "back up" or suspended time on a separate D.C. charge for which you were convicted and eventually received some form of probation of which you are now being accused of violating, I would say, no way, as long as the D.C. charge underlying the alleged probation violation is separate and unrelated to the federal charge for which you actually served time.
Re: probation violation
Probation violation is a serious matter especially in light of your underlying convictions. Time served applies against all charges related to a conviction. Where several convictions apply the sentence applies separately. You should consult an attorney licensed in Washington DC.
