He was crucified for rocking the boat. His crime was offering freedom to anyone who might want it.
so why crucify him. what boat was he rocking?

He was a renegade in the eyes of the religious hierarchy during his time.
OK, but that isn't what they killed him for. They never say you are a renegade, we're going to crucify you.

They had the Roman Empire do the dirty work.

Blasphemy. Also, they were given a choice between Christ or a murderer.
blasphemy for what?

Jesus was crucified by the Romans because he had caused trouble in the temple and was claiming to be the King of the Jews. Romans had very little patience with this sort of thing, and crucified a lot of people for causing this sort of trouble.
You left out the part of the Sanhedrins part and some jews in the supposed conspiracy

The Sanhedrin had no power to execute. Thus Jesus' execution was solely the responsibility of the Romans, who DID have that authority.
the sanhedrin played a part. simply because there is an executioner doesn't mean there wasn't a prosecutor
Bible tells this:
The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs. If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."...
John 11:47-53
Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?" For he perceived that for envy the chief priests had delivered him up.
Mark 15:9-10

I'm not talking about executioner. I'm talking about authority to convict and execute. The Sanhedrin had no power to issue an execution. Furthermore, if you believe the gospel account, there were numerous problems with the meeting of the Sanhedrin which render it an illegal court.
