I know
@bamaEER isn't even going to attempt to accept my challenge to the Left of this forum in post #42...but just FYI...here's a portion of what's in Georgia's RICO laws that Trump is facing charges under:
(from above linked article in post # 46)
“racketeering activity” means to commit, attempt to commit – or to solicit, coerce or intimidate someone else to commit – one of more than three dozen state crimes listed in the law.
In Georgia, courts have found people guilty of RICO in employee embezzlement cases, Ponzi schemes, credit schemes, complex investment schemes, or a series of thefts that aggregate to over $100,000. The statute is also often used to prosecute commercial gambling cases, pain management clinics, and public officials".
I dare any of you Leftists to name
anything Trump has done regarding his challenge of fraudulent election ballots that comes even close to this definition of "racketeering activity"?
There's more...(again from article linked in post #46)
"There are many crimes that can be used to show a pattern of unlawful conduct. The predicate crimes that fall under the RICO statute in Georgia include
drug offenses,
homicide, bodily injury, arson, burglary, forgery, theft, robbery, prostitution and pandering, distributing obscene materials, bribery, witness tampering, perjury, evidence tampering, commercial gambling, distilling liquors and alcoholic beverages, firearm violations, securities violations, credit card fraud, computer crimes, kidnapping, carjacking, and making terroristic threats. There are other offenses that can also be considered racketeering activity."
Uh...excuse me? Where has Trump been charged with
any of this?
There is more....
"A person may be charged under the RICO statute if they participate in an interrelated pattern of criminal activity motivated by or resulting in monetary gain or economic or physical threat or injury. O.C.G.A. §16-14-4 outlines four ways a person can be guilty of violating the Racketeering statute:
a. It shall be unlawful for any person, through a pattern of racketeering activity or proceeds derived therefrom, to acquire or maintain, directly or indirectly, any interest in or control of any enterprise, real property, or personal property of any nature, including money;
b. It shall be unlawful for any person employed by or associated with any enterprise to conduct or participate in, directly or indirectly, such enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity;
c. It shall be unlawful for any person to conspire or endeavor to violate any of the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) of this Code section. A person violates this subsection when:
(1) He or she together with one or more persons conspires to violate any of the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) of this Code section and any one or more of such persons commits any overt act to effect the object of the conspiracy; or
(2) He or she endeavors to violate any of the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) of this Code section and commits any overt act to effect the object of the endeavor.
RICO is a crime that has a federal statute and a Georgia state statute. The Georgia statute defines racketeering more broadly than the federal law does. In addition, it takes less to prove a pattern of racketeering activity under the Georgia statute than the federal one. However, the largest difference between the two is that Georgia does not always require the existence of an enterprise to constitute racketeering.
It is important to understand that the scheme does not have to be successful for a person to be convicted under the RICO statute."
Can you all see how patently ridiculous this whole thing is? What on earth does any of this (RICO statute) have to do with
anything Trump is accused of? Do any of you Leftists even know?
Of course you don't! It's simply a made up charge, using obscure provisions in the Law, to try and draw some inference that Trump was engaged in a "criminal conspiracy" to overturn Georgia's election. It sounds horrible, and so "criminal" however
the charges are not anywhere specified or spelled out in the actual Law. Now do you see why none of these media mind numbed Leftists will even attempt to answer my challenge in post #42?
