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.<\/font><\/p>\n

On Tuesday night\u2019s edition of MSNBC\u2019s \u201cDeadline: White House,\u201d Nicolle Wallace laid down a bold theory of President Donald Trump\u2019s legal situation: rather than investigating him and his allies as individuals, she said, it is possible that the whole group, along with Trump\u2019s own family business, is being investigated as a single criminal scheme. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd 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<\/strong>,\u201d she said, citing a passage from the article<\/a> that suggested a \u201ccorrupt enterprise\u201d indictment of the Trump Organization could sidestep the whole issue of whether a sitting president can be indicted…[emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
