BREAKING: Word in Chicago: Patrick Fitzgerald heading RICO investigation of ACORN and BHO campaign
hillbuzz via Hillary Clinton Forum ^ | 10-9-08 | unknown

Posted on 10/08/2008 11:40:53 PM PDT by Anti-Hillary

Tonight we talked to someone who works in the federal courts here in Chicago.

The buzz in those corridors is that federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has been leading a team of FBI investigators in 10 states working on a RICO case.

Today, it was announced that ACORN is being investigated in 10 states.

That’s one Hell of a coincidence.

We asked why Fitzgerald would be involved in this, because he’s the prosecutor on the Tony Rezko case and we aren’t aware of ACORN being investigated in Illinois.

We were told that ACORN was investigated in Illinois years ago, and it was a Fitzgerald case then. This means ACORN’s activities today, involving a conspiracy to commit multi-state voter fraud on SoetorObama’s behalf, are an extension of that previous ACORN case.

Our source in federal courts said, “Any crime that involves more than two people and is carried out across state lines qualifies as a corrupt organization. The fact that those “Goodwill” donations were made in Texas and received at Obama headquarters in Chicago or Washington means it qualifies for RICO.”

The “Goodwill donations” referred to above are the $228 million in undocumented, unverified campaign contributions the SoetorObama camp has received — which the McCain campaigned filed a complaint to the FEC on this past Monday.

We’ve also heard that the Clinton campaign filed complaints to the FBI and other federal agencies over SoetorObama’s fraud in the Iowa, Texas and other caucuses: voter intimidation, registration fraud, and other illegal activities.

The last thing we were told tonight in regards to all of this was that “the meme here is a tying together of all these various threads. That’s what you will see in the last weeks of the campaign: all things being tied together”.

If everything rumored here is true, it looks like David Axelrod, Howard Dean, Donna Brazile, SoetorObama himself, and possibly even Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were all involved, together, in massive RICO violations, and thus federal fraud, if the DNC and party leadership knew what the SoetorObama campaign and ACORN were up to and allowed it to proceed. Knowledge of federal crimes being committed makes all parties accessories to those crimes — and part of the conspiracy to defraud the public.

THAT would certainly be one Hell of a shock tomorrow morning.

People should not underestimate the clinton faction in the DNC. I believe that nobama has plans to oust them from the party. The clintons won’t allow it. Quite simply, the clintons own the federal bureaucracy, and these leftist bureaucrats will not want to give nobama and his thugs a cut of the action.

The nobama mob won’t even get across the bridge and into DC. We’re about to see blood in streets.

You really care about this ACORNy country, I take it?

I sure do. And the evil he is capable of could destroy what's left of the entire free world.

Did Rezko spill the beans on some dirty laundry about Acorn and Obama? Maybe, just maybe.

Rezko is looking at some very serious time in prison - most of the rest of his life. He'll name anyone that might help him reduce his sentence. The main thing is, he must tell EVERYTHING he knows or the deal goes away.

Tim Blair’s blog. It’s where I go to get the what’s up on the down under.

It’d be kinda sweet if a local Ozlander did the clue spreading, I think.

Joe Biden played a major role while chairman of the judiciary committee in introducing at least one law related to public corruption

Karma?

Joe Biden could be BO'S undoing? Comical irony.

"I have a bracelet too! It's Sergeant uh, uh ... Let me see here ..."

"Clean and articulate!"

"My plane smells bad?"

Seats still available to watch Thugs and Plugs! "Stand up Chuck!"

Watch Obama's secret Banking Committee solve the Bailout Crisis. They'll inflate checking accounts with Biden's mouth and Obama's magic air pressure gauge.

The wackiest, ACORN'iest comedy act in all 57 states!

And they're READING ABOUT IT IN TOKYO!

I'm NOT surprised. The whole world is looking at the US and asking - how could the Americans make such a mess of things. The REAL REASON must be exposed!

ACORN-FRAUD! It's not just voter registration fraud they are after, imo it's the massive mortgage fraud that will be exposed.

Patrick Fitzgerald will find that REPUBLICANS committed the VOTE FRAUD!! He’ll have John McCain AND Sarah Palin on the stand AFTER being Frog-marched out of a rally! PATRICK FITZGERALD is a HUGE DEMOCRAT!!! He has been shielding Gov. Blagoveich.

If I’m not mistaken, RICO is designed to move fast in order to throw a net over mobsters. But yes, if this report is correct, there would be a knee jerk temptation to ‘new tone’ this ‘close to the vest’ into the ‘sweet by and by’.

While that is the general pblic perception, only about 25-30% of RICO prosecutions involve what is traditionally called "organized crime". It was also specifically designed to go after corruption in government, including law enforcement agencies and courts amongst other organizations.

Right. We Americans have a responsibility to choose our leaders wisely. I apologise for such tension to result from an obvious no-brainer choice. Unfortunately, many folks don’t trust a thing a conservative says. They’ve been brainwashed and confused by RINOs.

While the Libby prosecution was a travesty, Fitzgerald goes after corruption on both sides of the aisle.

But while RICO is designed to move quickly, I imagine that Bush could meddle for the sake of the ‘new tone’, right?

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (commonly referred to as RICO Act or RICO) is a United States federal law that provides for extended penalties for criminal acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. It also provides a civil cause of action for those injured by violations of the act. RICO was enacted by section 901(a) of the Organized Crime Control Act of 1970 (Pub.L. 91-452, 84 Stat. 922, enacted October 15, 1970). RICO is codified as Chapter 96 of Title 18 of the United States Code, 18 U.S.C. § 1961–1968. It was intended to make it easier to prosecute organized crime figures, but has been applied in several other cases as well.
