I think the fact she used Rico will be her undoing.

RICO has long been subject to criticism.

Rudolph Gulianni was the master of RICO centered prosecutions.

He’s gonna have a field day with this 2-bit AA gronee prosecutor.

So all of us who contributed and got a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat are now co-conspirators?

MAGA hats are red.

What color are RICO hats?

The guy is trying to get RICO status (in my opinion) just to
drive home how “serious” this is.

He wants people to see Trump like they would Capone.

You know, karma is a bitch. Some of these people are stacking
up a mountain of it.

When it falls in on them, I’m going to have the popcorn
ready.

She is not concerned about losing her case v Trump, if that is what you mean. She has already won, at least in her mind, by being a compliant servant. She has reason to believe her place in the anti-MAGA world is secure, that she may even be nominated one day for the USSC, or perhaps at least as a backup to K.Harris.

As Rowdyone points out upthread her current mission statement is to tie Trump up and disable his political campaign, and RICO is the most effective vehicle.

Trump's biggest concern going forward is likely not time or money but staying out of jail and his health.

Y’all remember the RICO charges and court hearing with obamy and the property next door in Chicago? Hmm, I don’t, either.

Because the left decreed that it would be the case. Of course, this is a Rupert Moloch paper so they don’t say the full truth.

RICO has also been used against judges, sheriff’s, governors, state district attorneys, corporate officers, etc.

There is also provisions for civil RICO cases.

This could open Pandora’s box against corrupt politicians.

Pandora's box is huge and overflowing with corrupt politicians.

It a crime to participate in, acquire or maintain control of an “enterprise”.

What enterprise did he have control of

Asking questions isn’t an enterprise.
