It is a crime to fail to report a federal crime, but it's not against the law to discuss committing a crime if you don't take any steps toward doing it. Even if I saw you agree with someone to kill the President, I haven't seen the crime of conspiracy until one of you does something like purchase a gun or begin to implement the plan.

That's well nuanced. But then again, most laws, and the interpretations thereof, are pretty well nuanced.
