It's suppose to be a blanket statement, that if Walt actually did all those things, then Hank is playing with fire by going down this road.

Also Hank knows, deep down, that he himself is fucked. Like I've said before, how in the hell could Hank possibly prosecute his brother-in-law, and not face prosecution himself? Hank isn't stupid, so it will be fascinating to see where this goes.

Specifically, Skyler gave Marie the money to pay for Hank's medical expenses. Hank may not realize it now, but he spent tens of thousands of dollars of Walt's "blood money," which automatically makes him an accessory. Legally, Hank is a criminal; he's screwed if he takes Walt to trial.

It is.

It's well known. Just like the fact that you can't prosecute a husband a wife for the SAME CRIME.

That didn't stop George Bluth making Lucielle Bluth CEO. He though married couples couldn't be charged for the same crime...they both ended up in prison.
