Saw an earlier thread on the definition of "misprision" which caused me to use the google machine-here's something I found...

"United States law defines misprision of felony as a federal crime.[6] If one knows that one is a target of a Federal investigation, it is illegal under the Sarbanes–Oxley Act to erase one's browser history intentionally. Khairullozhan Matanov was prosecuted for erasing computer records about his friends, Dhzokar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev; he pleaded guilty to a lesser included offense in 2015.[7][8]

The term misprision can also be applied in some legal systems to a willful act or omission by a person who is involved in or has knowledge of the facts of a crime, which causes in the end result an innocent person to be punished for the crime; e.g., a frameup.[citation needed]

In some jurisdictions, such as New York and the military justice system, misprision also refers to the "intent to cause a false impression", for example, for the sale of fake drugs, such as oregano instead of marijuana." Wiki

Anyone else think Rudy and a bunch of Trump minions are in trouble??? Because this looks like catch 22 for those not directly implicated...
