Expressing an idea is criminal?

Nope. It's evidence. But.. when it can be demonstrated that the idea was executed it's evidence that the defendant knew what he was doing. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. And, as has been discussed earlier, committing that crime on advice of counsel won't get Fat Don off the hook because other 'counselors' told FatDon that the idea, if executed, is illegal.
