grand jury is set to consider whether to indict 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump in connection with alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia. If indicted, this would be his fourth this year.
Lawyers who have followed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ investigation, including some who have worked with her in the past, expect her to invoke Georgia’s RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) Act, which is modeled after the federal act of the same name, according to the Wall Street Journal.
“Signs are certainly pointing in that direction,” said law professor at Georgia State University Anthony Michael Kreis.
Under the RICO Act, if prosecutors show that there is an organization of people committing crimes together on a recurring basis, then members can be prosecuted for the crimes of the group. The federal statute, which the state act is modeled after, was enacted in the 1970s to help take down the mafia.
When Willis launched her investigation in 2021, she retained John Floyd, one of Georgia’s leading experts on racketeering charges, to advise the investigation.
Clint Rucker, a former Fulton County prosecutor who worked closely with Willis on the Atlanta school-cheating case, said the investigation team in the Trump case had been sent to a hotel for a week to study the RICO Act.
" gang case,” said Rucker.
Rucker said he expects Willis to use the RICO Act in the Trump case, as she has already used it with success in the school cheating case.
The list of charges that prosecutors are weighing also includes criminal solicitation to commit election fraud and conspiracy to commit election fraud, as well as solicitation of a public or political officer to fail to perform their duties and solicitation to destroy, deface or remove ballots.

“Oddly”, it’s rarely, if ever (IIRC), been used against the organized criminal enterprise known as ‘government’
That’s not what he said, and it’s not worth arguing with sleazy liars like you.
Somebody told me you like killing, cooking and eating newborn babies.
Prove me wrong.
There does appear to be a pattern, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence.
However, this one doesn’t really fit the mold. Willis announced her timeline 2 months ago.
These idiotic Leftists are terrified of a populism with a charismatic leader.
It’s a joke at this point and we’re deep into the USA’s version of Germany’s Weimar Republic. Evil people selected to smash down the populace.
I think you are right with one additional point I’ll add; none of these prosecutors want legal discovery and they really don’t care to have a trial that would require there being actual evidence of a crime. No, they just need sufficient legal pretext to put President Trump through a media grinder and knock him out of the race. They think.
What crime????
Obama’s Delusional Lying Left is completely unhinged. And the DA is a girl.
Delusional Lying Left females: truly no reason or accountability.
I hope we are not being played.
How?
1. The legal attacks against Trump are securing the GOP base for Trump, in reaction to those attacks.
2. Making the GOP general election narrative about Trump and against corrupt Joe Biden more than against the Democrats policies merely invoked by Joe Biden.
3. But what if Joe Biden is not the Dim candidate. Most are not aware that at this point in the 2024 election cycle Joe Biden has all of seven people employed by his official reelection campaign. That is not possibly a serious campaign.
4. The Dims will put up a younger, likeable, smart Dim, not Biden, steeling all the negatives about Biden out from under the GOP, while they continue to make Trump, not policies, their primary narrative.
Just my speculation.
You can hear Trump ask them to find 11,000 votes. Do you have a video of me killing, cooking and eating newborn babies.
So auditing an election is a crime?
What’s the going rate for you sleazy whores?
So you’re so sleazy you are pretending Trump was asking for fraudulent votes to be found?
I give up trying to figure out what will happen next during this sick, engineered political drama.
I can’t believe this is happening.
What about-isms are choking me.
We will never recover from the Biden/Wray/Garland cabal.
Stacy Abrams...I thought was sent by a heavy airlift as last defense of Ukraine.
I also noticed a pattern.. every Trump is hit by an indictment his popularity goes up.
Praise the Lord and pass the indictments
Affirmative action DA ignoring her violent, lawless cesspool city to grab cheap headlines by vomiting up a worthless indictment against a clearly innocent man.
Exactly. We’re seeing it in real time, in the light of day. It’s happening now.
She is going to charge more than Trump. Perhaps if she charges enough elected Republicans they will grow a spine.
