This stinks of RICO

[malaise]

In most democracies Nunes would have resigned already, along with Mulvaney and a plethora of others caught up in this madness.

[spanone]

1. Criminals, one and all.

If the senate okays this behavior, we are a banana republic

[malaise]

5. To sum it all up

This government is the absolute definition of a KAKISTOCRACY

[burrowowl]

16. Yes, trend towards banana hood started with RayGun!

[Raster]

36. Yes it did. The Great Bullshiter, Ronnie the Raygun*...

...racist and liar.

[msongs]

2. agreed. RICO against organized crime nt

[Zorro]

3. The party of Criminals, Cowards, and Traitors

Unfit to govern.

[Stuart G]

4. "The time will come the walress said,"...& Nunes's time is coming.

[Baitball Blogger]

6. If this isn't RICO, what is?

[malaise]

7. Precisely

Lock them up!

[SWBTATTReg]

9. Absolutely! nt

[Marie Marie]

8. If Nunes did what he did but was a Democrat, the party would have pressured him to resign.

[guillaumeb]

10. Does your contention not require that these people have some concept of integrity?

Recommended.

[malaise]

11. Silly me

[mucifer]

12. What's encouraging is as a federal prosecutor Adam Schiff won some cases of

organized crime.

[Newest Reality]

13. So,

The guise of "draining the swamp" was a cover or ruse for installing a septic tank chock-full of floating crime turds, then.

I don't like the smell of that

[malaise]

15. Correct

It stinks indeed

[lpbk2713]

14. If the GOP had any morals they would have cleaned their own house long ago.

But we all know by now that is expecting way too much from these scumbags.

[malaise]

17. For starters they would not have welcomed the racist Tea Party

but they hated Obama that much

[Hermit-The-Prog]

18. they believe they have permanent rule locked up, now ...

They have Barr's Dirt Services (formerly DoJ) and the Justice Beer Bong Weenie Waver gang in the SCOTUS, they have Moscow Mitch and they have Traitor Trump. I'm sure that some believe that if they just tough it out, elections can be rigged enough to let most of the Gangsters Of Putin stay in power.

We have to chip away until their idols crumble.

[malaise]

21. I have experience with these wanna be authoritarians

and their charm always fails - just when they think they are in control.

Never rule out the impeachment of some of these judges because if ReTHUGs love ém, there are crimes and other unethical goings on to be discovered.
The system is stronger than these two bit crooks

[Hermit-The-Prog]

26. their screeching gets louder and more desperate

I'm hoping for a record number of convictions for this regime.

[paleotn]

19. Not when their voters don't care....

about things like the rule of law or corruption. To them and their votes, the Constitution is just so much toilet paper.

[JoeOtterbein]

20. And we would...

...Lock Them UP!

[EveHammond13]

22. Frank Figliuzzi said so on MSNBC

[MFGsunny]

23. and he KNOWS of what he speaks .....

[C_U_L8R]

24. That stink is one hundred percent Trump.

It’s kinda his trademark.

[Still In Wisconsin]

25. Back in the days when the USA was governed by rule of law, Nunes would have been in trouble.

I mean, REAL trouble. Like, resign and prepare to enter the Federal prison system trouble.

As it is, though,he's got nothing to worry about. RICO? Who cares? RICO is for Democrat chumps. Nunes is a Republican, IOKIYAR, and besides the Kavanaugh court will save his ass, or Trump will pardon him if it ever comes to that.

[Wounded Bear]

27. The RICO-lican Party...

[malaise]

28. That is very good

very, very good - the RICOlican Party

[Wounded Bear]

29. Came to me earlier listening to Nicole Wallace's show...

somebody brought up RICO charges and it just sort of popped into my head.

[malaise]

30. Love it - Ari looks good this evening - David Corn on now

[Wounded Bear]

31. Kind of taking a break from the news today...

with some exceptions, obviously.

But right now, TV is off.

[stillcool]

32. yup...organized crime...

but no government .

[malaise]

33. A lot of people will end up in prison

This report is huge

[BlueTexasMan]

34. Curious behavior

You wouldn't think that all of those conservative fellows would be so united in defense of the current resident. Makes me think the powers that be have something on every one of them. Or maybe it was just a simple kiss on the cheek. It is bizarre. We live in interesting times.

[malaise]

35. They are all in this mess together

John Boehner and Lyin Ryan must have smelled the rat.

[PNW-Dem]

37. Start using legal terms

I agree. Need to stop using meaningless words like “collusion” and “quip pro quo” and start using conspiracy, extortion, racketeering, etc.

[democrank]

38. THUGS

MOBSTERS

[SunSeeker]

39. The Trump administration is certainly a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization.

So yeah, RICO applies.
