I wonder, Will Willis use RICO charges to nail the traitors.

[fightforfreedom]

She has used it before so she has experience. From what I have read about RICO you target the group not the individual. A conspiracy. A pattern of the group who are committing crimes covered under RICO laws. Georgia has their own RICO laws. It covers a wide array of possible charges. You basically just have to prove a conspiracy took place. There was definitely a pattern of a group of people trying to illegally over turn the election in Georgia.

It may be easier to nail Trump as part of a group, conspiracy. Instead of trying to nail him as an individual.

It will be interesting to see how she handles this, stay tuned.

Willis has been investigating Trump and the coup plotters. We now know she is going to indict people. It is fair to say she is going to indict the coup plotters. We don't who, how many, what the charges are. But the writing is on the wall.

1. NOT indicting Trump as part of a RICO charge would be entirely illogical.

IMO, it simply can't be done without gross incompetency at all levels. Willis hired RICO specialists as assistant prosecutors. RICO is designed to indict "ring leaders" who, under other circumstances, can evade the law because evidence doesn't reach the standard for criminal convictions as individual actors. Trump's money can allow him to bob and weave until the cows come home IF he's investigated as an individual. RICO laws make it much harder. So EXPECT a Trump indictment.

I suspect that, with over 70 million people voting for Trump in the last general election, prosecutors have been stealthily engaged in a public education process in which the public gradually ACCEPTS Trump's guilt and the need for him to be punished by the Courts. While many of us have been ready for years, tens of millions are going to feel alarmed and even enraged that their autocratic and fascist leader could end up sitting in a cell until he croaks. All of the prosecutorial delays serve to slowly spoon-feed those tens of millions a steady diet of "Trump is a criminal" memes so that they are not hit broadside with a public announcement that Trump is a defendant in multiple felony charges.

3. there are voices who question whether she will indict trump at all as an individual.....

His individual acts, while damning, may not be technically illegal under ga law (not my opinion, just others opinion).

If she does construct a conspiracy, then he could more easily be included since he becomes responsible for the acts of others under his influence.

It may be a requirement to indict him at all.

4. Do you have links to info in GA RICO laws?

If indicting on GA RICO laws is as easy as just “proving a conspiracy took place”, then why not indict for conspiracy?

Federal RICO laws are incredibly complex and rarely used criminally, and frequently abused civilly, so much so that judges often dismiss RICO civil suits out of hand.

7. Found this. Not sure it works for tfg. Perhaps the OP can elaborate?

The Georgia RICO Act makes it a crime for any person, through a pattern of racketeering activity or proceeds derived therefrom, to acquire or maintain, directly or indirectly, any interest in or control of any enterprise, real property, or personal property of any nature, including money.

6. Ah, so we are cool with NOT indicting tfg now.

Got it.

Because something.

8. HUH?

Your post is bizarre. Believe me, I understand you are defeatist. You attack any positive posts I write. You don't have to prove it to me any more. I understand.

You don't believe Trump and the coup plotters will be indicted. I get it.

[BlackSkimmer]

9. Feel free to call me defeatist Mr. fightforfreedom..

By all means, have at it.

[fightforfreedom]

11. When people declare no one will be indicted before the investigations are finished.

That is the definition of defeatists. I am stating a fact that is all.

[BlackSkimmer]

14. Sure thing.

I guess time will tell.

[NowISeetheLight]

10. Conspiracy

I'm no lawyer but I think these organized antics rise to the level of a criminal conspiracy. Mafioso Don should be the FIRST one indicted.

12. RICO is a federal law, is it not?

Unless Georgia has similar laws on their books, I don't think Fani Willis can use RICO.

[fightforfreedom]

13. Read my OP again.

Willis has used the RICO law before and convicted people.
