This play seems to me like its the Al Capone model, You can't get them on the big charges so you get them on tax evasion. If you're a celebrity or bad actor and youre donating the bail out protestors or funding law firms etc than clearly you have something to hide. We wont be able to get you on satanic ritual sacrifice but we will get you on finding a terrorist organization. This is why Rudy Giuliani is such a big player on the Trump team. He did it NYC in the 90s.
