We discuss semantic intricacies of conditioning, a main feature in probabilistic programming, and propose how to deal with these issues in an operational way and in a weakest pre-condition semantics. This includes the interplay between conditioning and possible non-termination as well as between conditioning and non-determinism. Furthermore, we propose a program transformation that eliminates conditioning from programs at the expense of introducing loops.
