General Discussion

In each count, they alleged either direct violation of a specific federal statute - or conspiracy to violate the identified statute.

For example, narco-terrorism is Title 21 , United States Code, Section 960a. (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/21/960a)

They are working on two fronts - the big bully strongman who is talking gibberish but has the power to order military compliance - and the much more dangerous (and carefully thought out) background legal strategy. As to the law, they are evil, and stretching the laws to places they were never intended to go (challenging the courts to tell them no), but they aren't stupid.
