'chuck mcgill fine without source of electricity one' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'see right through it' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'see' could be 'c' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers) and 'c' is found in the answer.
'through' could be 'in' and 'in' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'can' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
