Thanks for that.

The proesecution's question does NOT recite the elements of the crime, but at least it makes a naked (that means unsupported) allegation that there was probable cause that the crime was committed.

That gruel is so thin, it resembles stone soup, before the ingredients are added.

Here's a statute, some people violate it, this defendant associates with a group, some of whome conspire illegaly under the statute, therefore he probably conspired.

Promotions and glory for the government and the judge.
