can rico be used against the jan 6 thugs?

[DonCoquixote]

as I understand it, that is the way lower rnaked people can be used to get the hiugher ranked. If a mobster kills someone, to godfather is reapasonsible.

1. I would think. Because the mobster boss doesn't even have to give direct orders to be convicted

They speak in the same kind of cold the trump does

2. No.

The so-called lower rank people have been charged already, mostly with misdemeanors. That will be the end of the story for them.

3. There's plenty of Conspiracy felonies that were committed. just need DOJ to have the will to indict

Haven't seen anything to give a glimmer of hope that they will. And I'm talking about ring leaders not low level scum, they're being charged.

4. Maybe, mail fraud, credit card fraud and electoral fraud could be proven if so,

A RICO case could be explored. Don’t know if it could be made, but could be explored. The problem is that it would be seen as an very political prosecution but the Republican Party is turning into one big Ponzi scheme.

5. Will be sweet if DOJ traces it to Rupert Murdoch. Follows with giving

Fox News the corporate death penalty, revokes Murdoch's US citizenship and puts him in a prison for life.

7. A crime to consider is Misprision of Felony

How many Republican members of Congress knew about the conspiracy to prevent the election certification and did not report it?

18 U.S. Code § 4 - Misprision of felony
Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
