The wire fraud was the sole purpose the case was pursued, in an attempt to establish a way to force the industry to accept Federal intervention. I understand that concept is difficult to grasp.
It was not only an overreach, but a perversion, coercing veterinarians without resources to testify and using a fully unreliable witness in Beattie. The taxpayers got bilked out of god knows how many hundreds of thousands to gain a handful of misdemeanors that will be overturned.
But the propagandists got what they wanted, allegations that everyone to ever send a horse out is a cheat.
