RICO for the Mob Boss

There is a Mob in this nation that is more criminal than the mafia.  They are the Republican Reich, and the Mob Boss is their Fuhrer, the Cantaloupe Criminal.  RICO is short for the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.  It gives prosecutors the power to charge a Racketeer for leading a criminal organization, even they could not prove that the mob boss was guilty of the individual crimes committed by its members.

On Tuesday night’s edition of MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House,” Nicolle Wallace laid down a bold theory of President Donald Trump’s legal situation: rather than investigating him and his allies as individuals, she said, it is possible that the whole group, along with Trump’s own family business, is being investigated as a single criminal scheme.

“A legal theory that has long been whispered about by legal experts and veteran prosecutors has spilled out into the open in the wake of Michael Cohen’s explosive testimony,” said Wallace, “the possibility that Donald Trump and the Trump Organization are being investigated as a criminal enterprise.”

“The undercurrents have been there all along, with federal law enforcement officials and lawmakers comparing Donald Trump’s conduct to that of a mob boss,” Wallace continued. As examples, she showed clips of Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and former FBI Director James Comey all making that exact comparison.

And in a piece out in The New York Times today, Garrett Graff describes how pursuing Trump World as a mob operation could take down Trump and his entire empire,” she said, citing a passage from the article that suggested a “corrupt enterprise” indictment of the Trump Organization could sidestep the whole issue of whether a sitting president can be indicted…[emphasis added]

I fully agree.  Use RICO on Trump and every Republican that enables him.

  1. “spocko” writing for Crooks and Liars made an interesting comparison between Trump and his organization to the Broderick Crawford-played character in “Born Yesterday” (1950.) (Yes, it was remade later, but the 1950 one was made during the McCarthy era, which gives it special depth.)

  2. WOW!
    I’m glad to see that prosecutors are going this way, (or thinking about this effective line). An effective tool, in taking down dt, and his mob fools. What a way to go down!! The only disgrace is that he is poutus!
    Great video.

  3. This is very exciting! I would love for SDNY to take down the entire corrupt nest of crooks.

  4. Go baby, go!!!!!!!!!

  5. I’m praying that they are finally coming to their senses to start investigating tRump and his cronies.
    What they have been doing ever since he stepped into the W.H. is pure 100% evil,
    We have been watching things falling apart all around our country because of his evilness. Finally I too pray that they do use RICO against tRump and his cronies. They need to be removed from their positions and prosecuted for everything they have put our country through, Once they do, hopefully our country will be turned back around in the proper direction and continue moving in a positive direction forever..

  6. The fact that prosecutors/the law are talking about pursuing RICO ought to give Diaper Don and those who have attached their wagon to his, conniption fits. Now, in whose bed is the horse’s head?

    I wonder about his base . . . will they remain like ostriches with their heads in the sand or will they finally see the light? And these militia types that have threatened violence and civil war, how will they react when Trump goes down.

    This is a dog’s breakfast!

  7. Love the smoking cigar GIF!

  8. Thanks, Hugs, and Amen to all! 46
