BREAKING: Georgia DA expected to charge Trump under anti-mafia RICO law

"Signs are certainly pointing in that direction."

A 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.

Good Lord.  This is really becoming pathetic.

This should be funny.  Sad, but funny.

I'd love to know what they think the predicate acts are for RICO purposes.

Chances are they'll indict him again.  Yes it is ridiculous but as most of us agree on, they are out to hang him and hang him high.

Desperation is rarely pretty.

Who was  the famous DA that claimed he could indict a ham sandwich if he wanted?

Wasn't he from NYC?

DEVELOPING: Atlanta Locks Down Courthouse Ahead of Looming Racketeering Charges
by Cristina Laila Aug. 7, 2023 5:03 pm

The Atlanta courthouse locked down ahead of Fani Willis’ decision to charge Trump over his efforts to challenge the 2020 election in Georgia.

“Law-enforcement officers surrounded the Fulton County courthouse on Monday in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, amid closed roads and traffic barriers put up to boost security ahead of a possible indictment of former U.S. President Donald Trump,” Reuters reported.

A judge last Monday denied Trump’s second bid to quash Fulton County DA Fani Willis’investigation into Trump’s efforts to challenge the 2020 election in Georgia.

Meanwhile, Fani Willis is reportedly ‘ready to go’ and gearing up to indict Trump possibly this week.

Fulton County prosecutors are preparing sprawling racketeering charges against Trump over his effort to challenge the 2020 election in Georgia.

According to a leak to The Guardian, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will likely indict Trump in the first two weeks of August.

Fani Willis based her investigation on President Trump’s call with Georgia officials that was later doctored and leaked to the fake news outlet Washington Post. The WaPo published a completely fraudulent text of the call. These phony charges have already been debunked by The Gateway Pundit and others.
