Speaking of smears, that's a smear by Andak.

An unindicted co-conspirator is someone who the government knows is related to or involved in some way with what the government believes to be a crime (and has charged someone with something regarding). However, there is not enough evidence, at this time, to indict them for their personal participation.

A good example would be in a money laundering case, where there was a business owner who had a portion of the business that was used by an employee to launder money, but, there is no evidence that the owner was directly involved. He was involved in the operation of the business, of the unit, but not necessarily with the laundering part. Could have been, but right now we don't know. His name will be mentioned as part of the conspiracy, but he won't be personally charged, unless and until evidence comes up that would be enough to possibly get a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.
