Replying to a message of Tony Ingenoso to John Cuccia:

 TI> From: "Tony Ingenoso" 

 TI> Conspiracy is a federal crime.

There are only three legitimate federal crimes:  treason, piracy and
counterfeiting.  All of the others have been usurped from what properly are
state crimes.

In any case, I suspect that the conspiracy would have to involve something
of federal interest.  Conspiracy in and of itself is no crime at all,
unless one is conspiring to violate a law - and absent some criminal act or
acts to implement the conspiracy's goal there still isn't a crime.
