There is no statute of limitations on ‘conspiracy’ if it is continuing. I think we can agree that this particular conspiracy IS CONTINUING.
“STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
Federal crimes typically have a general statute of limitations that is a period of five years. What that means is that any federal prosecution has to start within five years from the end of the crime. Federal conspiracy charges share the same five-year statute of limitations as many other federal crimes. The statute of limitations for federal conspiracy starts from when last overt act committed in furtherance of the conspiracy happened. If a conspiracy statute does not require an overt act, then the statute of limitations starts from when a conspiracy accomplishes its objective, when someone withdraws from the scheme, or when the scheme is abandoned altogether. The burden of proof in regard to withdrawal or abandonment is on the defendant to prove when and how the withdrawal or abandonment happened.”
“There is no statute of limitations on ‘conspiracy’ if it is continuing.”
As if Durham ever had any intention to charge someone with conspiracy. That’s a knee slapper.
