If that were true it would make a mockery of the presumption of innocence. I'm not sure at what point the SOL would take effect--it's possible that it could run into next year--but I have no faith in Durham bringing charges against anyone who could implicate significant players in mark wauckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247066866195200890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608697421187043479.post-465802846031812142021-08-26T18:00:21.299-05:002021-08-26T18:00:21.299-05:00I think it is a very safe assumption that the co-c...I think it is a very safe assumption that the co-conspirators in the FBI, DOJ, CIA, etc. are still covering up the criminal conduct of all those involved.<br /><br />It appears to me that RICO charges should be available.
