Misprision of Felony, Alexander Blair, and See Something Say Something

Alexander Blair is charged with "misprision of felony" for having knowledge of Booker's plot and failing to report it to authorities. The hosts note that this obscure common law offense has been abolished in most jurisdictions but remains a federal crime in the U.S. They argue this legalizes the "See Something, Say Something" campaign by making silence a punishable offense.
