Trump presided over a systematically corrupt administration in the White House. Could he ever be charged retroactively under the RICO act?

RICO is a complex cause of action and I have very little experience with it. It’s technical enough that I don’t really know whether it could be successfully used against Trump. Here’s a prosecutor who thinks it’s possible. https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/u ... -rcna51925.

I can't help getting the sinking impression that Because of Trump and Republicans who continue to support and make excuses for him, the Republican party has devolved into or is at least in danger of devolving into just another organized crime syndicate.Res Ipsa wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 4:04 amRICO is a complex cause of action and I have very little experience with it.

That hub chart presented in this video is such a great tool for understanding the scope of this criminal enterprise.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/08/us/p ... s.amp.htmlThe same LLC that Michael Cohen used to funnel the payoff to Stormy Daniels also took in $500,000 from a firm linked to Russian Oligarch Viktor Vekselberg. It took in $4.4 million just before Trump was elected.
"Financial records reviewed by The New York Times show that Mr. Cohen, President Trump’s personal lawyer and longtime fixer, used the shell company, Essential Consultants L.L.C., for an array of business activities that went far beyond what was publicly known. Transactions adding up to at least $4.4 million flowed through Essential Consultants starting shortly before Mr. Trump was elected president and continuing to this January, the records show.
Among the previously unreported transactions were payments last year of about $500,000 from Columbus Nova, an investment firm in New York whose biggest client is a company controlled by Viktor Vekselberg, the Russian oligarch. A lawyer for Columbus Nova, in a statement on Tuesday, described the money as a consulting fee that had nothing to do with Mr. Vekselberg."

Republicans say they will vote for Trump if he becomes the 2024 nominee.
They say they'll vote for a guy who recently said we should burn the Constitution.

this one is fun - Trump had a hidden near 20 million dollar loan from a N. Korean linked company during his campaign that was paid off while he was in office.

Why would an alleged multi billionaire need a loan of a measly $19 million from a communist country?¥akaSteelhead wrote: ↑Mon Dec 05, 2022 7:57 pmthis one is fun - Trump had a hidden near 20 million dollar loan from a N.
