My question has been for some time “can private attorneys act as prosecutors on RICO against people like the Clintons?”

Only if “Justice” actually existed in our so-called “Justice” system.

The cultural Marxists destroyed the meaning of “words”-—to make them meaningless-—all we see is a “dog and pony” show EVERYWHERE, especially in all “court” cases.

There is no Truth/God allowed ——no Constitution-—the “...laws of nature and nature’s God” have been totally ejected for Stalin’s document. (which is unconstitutional-—but what the hey!!!)

I am afraid Just Law was jettisoned a hundred years ago and we have been reaping the rewards. Cicero stated when Just Law is no longer Just and promotes evil and vice, the system will eventually collapse. Just Law ONLY promotes “public virtue” and “equal” under the law.

Congress is corrupt-—as all our branches—and our SCOTUS is now the most convoluted, irrational and evil of them all. Many people should be in prison for Treason if we had “Justice”.

Exactly but,

Socialists desire to practice legal plunder, not illegal plunder. Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help. - The Law; Frederic Bastiat
