Remember when W Bush who was accused of ordering torture at black sites pointed at then AG Alberto Gonzales and was all 'this guy told me torture was ok'
I think thats where the fact-check thing is going, it will be used as an excuse to claim that when you do crime, you thought it was lawful (because fact checkers insist it was) therefore you shouldn't face penalty.
You cant just segment criminal or terrorist acts between multiple parties and then escape liability entirely.. but this is happening as long as people let it happen.
