“This is small potatos.”
Really?? In conspiracy cases yuo start with one or two easy cases and build. All along the line there are a few willing to cooperate and provide evidence and hopefully, in time, a crescendo, and the dream target’s head is in the noose. These cases don’t play out on a segment of “Cops.

That strategy works when the “easy cases” are stuff like drug trafficking or murder that carry huge sentences on their own so that the perps are highly motivated to cooperate. Not so much for stuff like lying to the feds that hardly ever carries jail time.
