Aren't their laws against Aiding & Abetting a known criminal?

A criminal charge of aiding and abetting or accessory can usually be brought against anyone who helps in the commission of a crime, though legal distinctions vary by state. A person charged with aiding and abetting or accessory is usually not present when the crime itself is committed, but he or she has knowledge of the crime before or after the fact, and may assist in its commission through advice, actions, or financial support. Depending on the degree of involvement, the offender's participation in the crime may rise to the level of conspiracy.

For example, Andy draws a floor plan of a bank, knowing of Dan's intention to rob it. After Dan commits the robbery, Alice agrees to let him store the stolen money at her house. Both Andy and Alice can be charged with aiding and abetting, or acting as accessories to the robbery.

And how many of our elected officials are guilty of this so called crime? Isn't failure to stop bush aiding and abetting? Failure to impeach is the same thing.

2. How about "We the People"?

Are we also not every bit as guilty? Why have the truckers not stopped driving? Are they not aiding and abetting? How about the teachers? How can they carry on with these criminals in office? It isn't just politicians. It is how Americans choose to live...We love guns and violence and the Soprano's is one of the leading TV shows....We are a criminal nation and will continue to be so unless "We the People" put an end to it...
