Subject: Re: Selective prosecution
It's like a group of bank robbers who plan to bust open a nigh-impenetrable vault using a crowbar (which we postulate is physically impossible) - the valuables in the vault were never in danger, but they're still guilty of plotting a bank robbery.



Those charges will be made against the the prybar crew that entered the bank, AND also the lookout guy on the rooftop across the street, AND the getaway driver waiting at the curb even though they never entered the premises of the vault.
