>>So how will this resolve?
They will try divide and conquer. Very low profile arrests - one here - one there, and no jail time. Just heavy fines.
Yup. They will use this to hang felonies around the neck of political enemies. But my guess is they make a terrible example of just a few picked targets, high profile, but people they have other kinds of dirt on. Sex, drugs, moral failure of religious types. Then everyone else caves.
