My question about RICO indictments was not rhetorical — I was dead serious. If there were ever government operations that resembled a Mafia run conspiracy, it must be Fast & Furious and Castaway. We need to be putting a lot of highly paid “suits” into orange jumpsuits, including Dear Leader.

RICO charges certainly can be brought against him. Yes.

They just need a special prosecutor to do them. The justice department normally handles them, and they would be unable to because of the obvious conflict of interest.

Congress can assign a special prosecutor to do them and empower him in every aspect to do the charges.

BTW - just IMO - I don;t think that they have enough for a true RICO case .. (yet) but I think that Issa is doing a good job of establishing grounds for one.

I have been following this pretty close. I think he has done an amazing job. But what he woudl need is more than just someones testimony that zero was in on it.
Some notes that he had, or transcripts from a meeting where he was told would be more than enough to meet the threshold for conspiracy though.

Right now, I think (just me again) that zero has insulated himself to this point of being able to claim some plausible deniability. But given time I think Issa and Grassley will lock him in.

I am betting that when people were involved in this, they kept notes or some evidence of his involvement in case it all unraveled and they needed to save their own skins. Rats unlike patriots will not be so happy to take the hit for dear leader. Especially something this big.
