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.

That would have been pre-alcohol/wet brain Rudy.
But didn’t that fat water buffalo looking broad do the exact same thing, but for YEARS and YEARS, in fact she might still be claiming she won...
The revolution WILL be televised.
I’ve noticed a pattern. Every time they indict Trump, some bad news comes out against the Biden Family the day before.
Channeling certain FR posters: “This never would have happened if Trump didn’t run in 2015”
Not that it really matters, in Rudy Giuliani’s case, he used Federal RICO laws to put the mafia leaders in jail, this case is using state RICO laws, even though the article said the state laws are modeled after the Federal Laws, I’m sure it has some differences, the article also mentioned this particular prosecutor has successfully used state RICO laws before.
Blinded by fear and hatred.
Giuliani is just a shell of the lawyer he used to be.
Are you referring to the Ghettopottimus Stacy Abrams?
they always accuse you of exactly what they themselves are guilty of....
Not for long, the mainstream media are double bonus point targets.
In other words, another “throw spaghetti at a wall” type of indictment(s)
“Fani Willis”
Let me guess. Ghetto trash affirmative action promotion?
THE DEMOCRAT LEFT UNDER BIDEN AND THE DEEP STATE IS IN REBLLION AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION. THIS IS A TRUE INSURRECTION.
The Democrats KNOW that the Joe Biden Administration is a complete disaster
ALL OF THIS is about rigging the 2024 election
Despicable.
Pure abuse of the legal process by scumbags.
“I’ve noticed a pattern. Every time they indict Trump, some bad news comes out against the Biden Family the day before.”
Trumps attorney explains just that:
Trump attorney and spokeswoman Alina Habba told reporters Donald Trump is “under siege” as the former president prepared to face a third arraignment in four months.
ALINA HABBA: The fact that I am standing here for the third time in five months is not a coincidence. This is the Biden political lawfare that we have seen time and time again. It is a deflection from everything they have done. and if you don’t believe me, look at the facts.
On March 17, Hunter accidentally admitted it was his laptop from Hell. The next day, DA Alvin Bragg indicts President Trump.
On June 8, an FBI document is released showing that the Ukrainians paid the Biden crime family millions and millions of dollars. The next day, the Mar-a-Lago raid and the Mar-a-Lago indictment.
Last week, Hunter Biden’s sweetheart plea deal fell through when the judge realized it had blanket immunity. The following day, a superseding indictment against Donald Trump.
July 31, Devon Archer goes to testify in front of the House. That was only after they failed to put him in jail prior to the fact. What happens the next day? The January 6 indictment we are here for today.
This is not a coincidence. This is election interference at its finest against the leading candidate right now for president for either party. President Trmp is under siege in a way we have never seen before. President Trump and his legal team and everyone on his team will continue to fight, not for him, but for the American people.
...
I think a witch hunt is really the way that we should describe this because it is not anything we’ve seen in our time. This is not even political, this is beyond that. A witch hunt is when you relentlessly attack your opponent, relentlessly attack the thing you are most afraid of. People are afraid of somebody who can not be ought by Washington. People are afraid of somebody who is independently wealthy and has given up his good life to fight for this country. And that frightens a lot of career politicians because he’ll get back there and fight for every one of us so this doesn’t happen to us.
Once again, the WORTHLESS DOPES IN THE GOP STAND THERE LIKE A DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS THE GOP HAS PROSECUTORS. START PROSECUTING DEMOCRATS FIR GOD’S SAKES!!!!
