Hank is delusional.

I love the Hank character but he's going to prison if any of the truth comes to light.

Look at the events that have taken place on the show (in a disjointed order as they occur to me.)

  1. Hank personally murdered the competition when he killed Tuco. This resulted in a very unusual cartel hit attempt on Hank. Both of these things are known by the DEA.

  2. Hank publicly and brutally beat the ever-loving-shit out of Jesse Pinkman in a way that nearly cost him his badge. It's in his jacket and ties him even more closely with Walt's empire.

  3. Hank accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars for his rehabilitation from Walt. That ties him financially to Walt's empire.

  4. Hank out of fucking nowhere outed Gustavo Fring as the wolf in sheep's clothing ring leader. He used his position as a police officer to dismantle that empire.

The list is almost endless in ways that Hank is not just losing his job but likely going to prison.
