When Mumphrey laid out the terms it was that the Heckfire club doesn't cause their extremely nasty brand of trouble and the LL won't come down on them with force and public attention. Since a known associate of the Legion is coming down on them with public attention, then the natural reaction would be...
> > I don't think I want to be a family member of the judge that signed that search warrant, not to mention the judge himself. It's usually not healthy to go poke at a hornet's nest without a clear plan on follow-through... especially when you might prove allergic to being stung.

> That may be a moot point since any judge can sign a search warrant. If it's not one it's another. There's a very long trail of people that would have to be killed to close the investigation at this point, which is what Chiaki was counting on.

Who said anything about killing him? Worse would be waking up to find he had seduced a bus full of 5th graders.
And really, people in such positions of power as the Heckfire club don't wield it to end current investigations so much as to let people know what happens when one *opens* one against them. It's an object lesson, of sorts.
