I called it: RICO statute to take down criminal Trump organization

How Giuliani Might Take Down Trump

The parallels between the Mafia and the Trump Organization are striking, and Giuliani perfected the template for prosecuting organized crime.


Any onetime Mafia investigator who listened to the Trump “fixer” Michael Cohen testify Wednesday would have immediately recognized the congressional hearing’s historical analogue — what America witnessed on Capitol Hill wasn’t so much John Dean turning on President Richard Nixon, circa 1973; it was the mobster Joseph Valachi turning on the Cosa Nostra, circa 1963.

The Valachi hearings, led by Senator John McClellan of Arkansas, opened the country’s eyes for the first time to the Mafia, as the witness broke “omertà” — the code of silence — to speak in public about “this thing of ours,” Cosa Nostra. He explained just how “organized” organized crime actually was — with soldiers, capos, godfathers and even the “Commission,” the governing body of the various Mafia families.

Fighting the Mafia posed a uniquely hard challenge for investigators. Mafia families were involved in numerous distinct crimes and schemes, over yearslong periods, all for the clear benefit of its leadership, but those very leaders were tough to prosecute because they were rarely involved in the day-to-day crime. They spoke in their own code, rarely directly ordering a lieutenant to do something illegal, but instead offering oblique instructions or expressing general wishes that their lieutenants simply knew how to translate into action.

Those explosive — and arresting — hearings led to the 1970 passage of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, better known as RICO, a law designed to allow prosecutors to go after enterprises that engaged in extended, organized criminality. RICO laid out certain “predicate” crimes — those that prosecutors could use to stitch together evidence of a corrupt organization and then go after everyone involved in the organization as part of an organized conspiracy. While the headline-grabbing RICO “predicates” were violent crimes like murder, kidnapping, arson and robbery, the statute also focused on crimes like fraud, obstruction of justice, money laundering and even aiding or abetting illegal immigration.

This article ends on a happy, upbeat note. Well, not so much if you worship the Mango Mussolini:

"Indicting the whole Trump Organization as a “corrupt enterprise” could also help prosecutors address the thorny question of whether the president can be indicted in office; they could lay out a whole pattern of criminal activity, indict numerous players — including perhaps Trump family members — and leave the president himself as a named, unindicted co-conspirator. Such an action would allow investigators to make public all the known activity for Congress and the public to consider as part of impeachment hearings or re-election. It would also activate powerful forfeiture tools for prosecutors that could allow them to seize the Trump Organization’s assets and cut off its income streams."

There was NO embassy or consulate in Benghazi. There has NEVER been a US embassy or consulate in Benghazi.
 
https://www.quora.com/Was-the-Benghazi-attack-on-an-embassy-or-a-consulate


the plan was to make it into an embassy or consulate but the money was removed for it





The compound at Benghazi was neither of these. It was a plot of land owned (or leased) by the US State Department. At one time there seems to have been a plan to establish an office or even a consulate on that property (This is when the request for security was made: it was under the assumption that the property would be used for official business and thus need full time staff and guards. However, it was decided not to make this into a consulate.) So it was basically a piece of property owned by the US government with no official status.

That could be said about every terrorist attack on any US Embassy around the world throughout American History!

But, never did the House Of Representatives or Congress use the attack as an excuse to accuse our Secretary Of State of murder for the expressed motivation of campaign smearing just because the Secretary Of State was feared to have aspirations to run for president some day.

Do you need a list of attacks of our US embassies?

Trying to compare Trump to the mafia is about as insane as claiming he won the election with the help of Russians. It is moronic, it is repugnant and it is the new low bar the FAKE media and Democratic Party of the Jackass are willing to stoop.

Once the Mueller report comes out and the massive lies the media was willing to promote are exposed, the credibility of the media and the Party of the Jackass will dramatically decline and Americans will reject the media and the Party of the Jackass for at least another decade.

But hey, instead of licking their wounds and realizing they are dupes and morons, they want to double down on the failure of the Mueller investigations and conduct their own massive, unconstitutional which hunt. It is shameless and sad that a political party has become the party of lunatics and America haters.

You lying leftist morons on the left have been bloviating that for the last two years. Now that the Mueller report is wrapping up with NOTHING, you dishonest dumbfucks attempt to claim Trump is a mob kingpin. Liberals lack the basic intelligence to comprehend how stupid they look.

Benghazi was about American deaths and the desperate efforts by the Obama administration to cover it up by claiming it was spontaneous and the fault of an American you dumb fuck. That was REAL. This bullshit is nothing more than fantastical baloney dragged out of thin air by lunatics with a severe case of TDS.

Try to comprehend the difference if that low IQ brain of yours is capable of that. Moron.

Won't you look even more moronic when this doesn't happen. But you are protected by a low IQ which allows you to go on acting like a moron without embarrassment. Yay you! :clap:
