What makes this a RICO case

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

This latest indictment in Georgia ties together all the loose ends of Trump's desperate, attempted coup.
A guy like Trump, once installed in The Oval Office, had no intention of ever turning his little fiefdom over to anybody else. Ever.
Election be damned!
His narcissistic hubris allowed him to believe that he could actually get away with STEALING a U.S. election, and the Covid-19 pandemic gave him the perfect "crisis" backdrop to try to pull it off.
These plans for this coup were actually developed long before election day 2020. Trump and his freakish ensemble of indicted co-conspirators were putting together the plans to steal the election in the event Trump lost WAY before the first ballots were even cast.
This was a sweeping, multi-faceted, illegal conspiracy to subvert U.S. Democracy and seize power through illegal means up to and including violence as evidenced by Trump's minions storming the U.S. Capitol in a hail-mary, last ditch attempt to keep the votes from being certified once stealing the election through pseudo- "legal" avenues had failed.
This attempted coup had numerous moving parts....and these Georgia indictments are going to put them all together with overwhelming EVIDENCE showing that none of it happened randomly....in isolation.
It was a HUGE criminal conspiracy with Trump's lust for absolute power right at the center of a tangle of evil syncophants.
And now they are all going down!

As the indictment notes, Trump "made a nationally televised speech falsely declaring victory in the 2020 election" on Nov. 4, 2020 — days before the vote-counting was actually complete. When the ultimate tally showed that Democrat Joe Biden won both the popular and electoral votes, Trump began falsely claiming the election was "rigged" with fraudulent votes.

But according to the indictment, that message was one he had planned even before the election took place.

From the indictment: "Approximately four days [before the 2020 election], on or about October 31, 2020, Donald John Trump discussed a draft speech with unindicted co-conspirator number 1, whose identity is known to the Grand Jury, that falsely declared victory and falsely claimed voter fraud. The speech was an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy."

Donald Trump Wanted to Write a Speech Declaring Voter Fraud Days Before 2020 Election

Hope they have a better argument than that. Trump was warning people a year out that they were going to try to steal the election, then Time Magazine published this article after the election where they admit to stealing it, and using Trump's consternations as the basis for doing so! Then they name names, from many people in business to many in government plus a whole bunch of shadowy leftwing organizations who all conspired together in one massive organized effort to make sure Trump lost (in effect, stealing the election as Trump warned by determining its outcome regardless of the voters!)! Of course, they try to spin it as if they "saved" America! Saved America by making sure people didn't get to actually pick who they really wanted!

Because walking out the door was preferable to being carried out by the Secret Service.

Read the post I was responding to, please. My point stands.

 

[mudwhistle]

Being "wrong" was not the crime.
Trying to steal an election was the crime.

Trying to?

What's the crime for actually stealing an election?

You assholes claim there was no fraud, but Trump and his lawyers proved there was fraud, and now they're arresting him for proving it.

If Trump could have barred Biden from entering the Whitehouse, I have no doubt he would have. Trump does not play by the same rules and laws as the rest of us. He does not do what he thinks is legal, constitution, or in good taste. He does what he thinks he can get away with. He has done this all of his life.

From the 1980s until he was elected president in 2016, Donald Trump and his businesses were involved in over 4,000 legal cases in U.S. federal and state courts, including battles with casino patrons, million-dollar real estate lawsuits, personal defamation lawsuits, and over 100 business tax disputes, far more that other businesses this size. Until he became president he has been able to buy off those that threaten criminal action but that doesn't work anymore.

By contrast, neither Joe Biden nor Obama, nor any president has been charged with a criminal act. In fact there have been very few lawsuits against any president prior to entering office in recent history.

The OP said Trump would never relinquish the White House. Reality proves him wrong. End of story.

Fake news.

Yes they did. That's why they arrested them a couple of weeks ago.

The Biden Administration has been taking money from China, so they're corrupt as they come.

Biden is trying to be a dictator.

That's why he raids the homes of his critics and arrests his political opponents.

I doubt there has every been an elections without some fraud. However, thanks to our electoral college, a successfully planned campaign of fraud to elect a presidents would be almost impossible. Hindsight being perfect, it is very easy to determine exactly how many votes were need to be stolen and where. However, doing this prior to an election which would mean selecting the means, the number of votes to steal, the states and precincts to seal them all without setting off audit alarms would be just about impossible. If we were dealing with just a popular vote, the job would be much easier.

Trump's lawyers were able to prove that were some likely cases of voter fraud. Of course, there are always cases of voter fraud but the numbers are much to small to swing an election. There were over 60 court cases where judges, including judges appointed by President Trump and other Republican presidents, looked at the evidence in many cases and said there is not widespread fraud." Many of the other cases were dismissed because there was no evidence presented, just claims with no supporting evidence.

Results of Lawsuits Regarding the 2020 Elections

The various claims of evidence alleging a stolen 2020 election have been exhaustively investigated and litigated. Judges heard claims of illegal voting and found they were without merit. (Learn more about how the changes that have happened since 2020 will affect the 2024 election and...

I spent some time look for those arrests in 2023. The ones I found were 16 republicans arrested in a false elector scheme. How about a link.

What does arrests in Michigan have to do with Georgia....and why are they arresting people for protesting a stolen election?
Didn't the Democrats try the same exact thing in 2016?

Christ, if you knew what the Obama/Biden and the DOJ have been doing since 2016 you'd shit yourself.

Obama isn't the only president that got caught spying on private citizens and journalists.
Biden is doing it now.
That's why they're pulling all of these raids using the FBI and the IRS.
Nevermind the fact that they just murdered hundreds of people in Maui and tried to do the same thing in East Palestine Ohio.

No, I don't know nor am I interested in all the bad shit that Biden, Obama, George Bush, Clinton, and other presidents have done because it is not germane to a dissuasion of the 91 felony charges Trump is facing. In a court of law and the court of public opinion, deflection will not save Donald Trump.

Again....what does this shit in Michigan have to do with Trump?
Did someone there wear a MAGA hat?

OMG!!!

We can't have people wearing MAGA hats!!!

That's like Garlic is to a vampire to a Democrap.
