Why The Trump Organization Now Risks Being Charged As A Criminal Enterprise (Witch Hunt Part II)
Forbes ^ | March 6, 2019 | Steve Denning

Posted on 03/09/2019 6:57:10 AM PST by BurgessKoch

I have already suggested "What The Mueller Report Will Say" about the Russia investigation, including the possibility that President Trump will be found to have become involved, wittingly or unwittingly, in multiple criminal conspiracies. But President Trump’s legal troubles are far from over, even if, as some implausibly suggest, that the Mueller Report turns out to be a “dud.”

Beyond Russia, Michael Cohen’s testimony last week before the House Oversight Committee pointed to the possibility of wide-ranging criminality within the Trump Organization before, during and after the 2016 presidential campaign, including election finance violations, bank fraud, charity fraud, tax fraud, insurance fraud, obstruction of justice and suborning perjury.

Some of these possible crimes are already under investigation by relevant Federal prosecutors, such as the Southern District of New York, State and District authorities. Just yesterday, we learned that New York state regulators have subpoenaed documents from Trump Organization’s insurance broker. Investigations are also under way for financial irregularities in Trump’s inaugural committee, while Congress has called on the FBI to investigate the employment of undocumented workers at Trump’s properties.

The Trump Organization As A Possible RICO Enterprise

Even if only some of these multiple crimes were to be proven, then the Trump Organization would be at risk of being charged as a “RICO enterprise”, i.e. a racketeering enterprise within the meaning of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly referred to as the RICO Act. If that were to happen, then the Trump Organization, its leaders and its members could, as the New York Times suggests, be subject to draconian financial and other penalties, that could threaten the Trump Organization's very existence.

if this happens I would assume we will see the FISA info released and a true counter attack by the Donald.

He will certainly point out the dual standard of giving immunity, letting people destroy evidence etc by the FBI / Justice Department.

Also it wouldn’t surprise me if he releases the long hidden list of congress critters who have had payments made from the secret sexual harassment fund...

this will be his firewall against those who feel they need to vote for impeachment for the good of the country.

Armageddon will happen.....

Democrats have not realized what they have unleashed. If a democrat is elected president what is to prevent republicans and republican governed states from going after that newly elected POTUS with bogus investigations in search of any potential crimes. Imagine if this was undertaken against the Clintons, or Obama?

I believe that is the only solution. These RATS are not misguided, they are evil.

All of this crap because the smelly old bag didn’t get her way...

(shaking head) honestly I thought she was a human, grown up woman, I think she is something else that doesn’t belong in the woods, or on another planet, the aliens won’t have her and those of us humans on Earth don’t want her, Satan has barred up hell so she can’t get in and God won’t even acknowledge her...

Go away old smelly bag, nobody likes you or wants you ever!!!

“If a democrat is elected president what is to prevent republicans and republican governed states from going after that newly elected POTUS with bogus investigations in search of any potential crimes?”

The answer: Republicans.

There is absolutely no evidence that The Stupid Party will ever do anything other than pay lip service to the crimes of the left and Democrats.

It may be a witch hunt, but keep in mind they burned those who they claimed were witches.

The control of trillions of dollars is at stake. If burying Donald Trump means keeping control and not upsetting the apple cart, they will bury Trump any way possible.

The guy who wrote this is a World Bank Globalist.

The article points out the Mulehead report suggesting even if it’s a dud then maybe z, y, then to bone that up speculates using a proven liar, Cohen. Vacuous speculation.

Never happen.Their is no "deep state". It's our rulers circling the wagons against an outsider.The Ds and Rs are like pro wrestling. High drama to fool the gullible rubes.

A deft touch, very nicely done.
