Legally speaking, the crimes of conspiracy come in 3 types.
You’ve got your classic neighborhood Bank Robbery model:
You’ve got your hierarchical of model of conspiracy, the Mafia model:
And you’ve got your need-to-know, Grifter’s model — the Hub-and-Spokes type Conspiracy:
The advantage of the Hub-and-Spokes model is that it has a loose organizational structure. Anyone can join, if they got a contact inside. And best of all, this model of conspiracy does not require that the ‘right hand to know, what the left hand is doing’ to be part of the club.
Every Spoke has it’s own role in supporting and propping up the Hub. To help ‘the wheel’ get to where it needs to go.

I’ll give you one and a half guesses, who is the Hub is in Trump-world “Stop The Steal” conspiracy.
Here’s a hint: the “axis” is buried in the name. Without it, the whole lamebrain plan collapses — like the anti-constitution power-grab attempt it truly was and continues to be.
“Spokes” beware: Your role was pivotal, despite your claims of never fully being in the loop.
It was designed that way. To distribute the pain … to distribute the blame.
Tag you’re it. You’re in on the culpability. Legally speaking.

Fun Fact: "A Conspiracy is just 2 or more people, who agree to commit a Crime. And then 1 of those people, doing at least 1 thing towards the commission of the Crime -- what is legally called, an ‘Overt Act’."
Seems to be a lot of that going around in Trump-world — “Overt acting.”
