Insert middle-person in the transaction and it’s okay? The law doesn’t (or at least shouldn’t) work that way. You don’t have to commit the primary crime directly to be guilty of a secondary crime, i.e. conspiracy to commit an offence, procuring someone to commit a crime, etc.
And if US Supreme Court Justices are still lawyers following their appointment to the Court, can they be disbarred? If their little fraternity and their GOP friends won’t throw them off the bench, at least mete out some presumably embarrassing ego-bruising justice.
