Could Georgia DA Fani Willis turn Donald into Little “RICO” Trump?

About a month ago, I would’ve said there’s no chance Donald Trump
will be indicted, and I still think that you’re not gonna see that
on a federal level. But Trump may yet see the inside of a prison
cell, thanks to the efforts of Fani Willis, the first woman to hold
the office of District Attorney in Fulton County, Georgia. Because
of the Georgia Republicans’ zeal to put Democrats like Stacey
Abrams behind bars — Democrats who are guilty of registering
hundreds of thousands of voters in Georgia — the state created its
own racketeering laws, which make it a lot easier to prosecute
people than under the federal RICO statute. Specifically, Georgia
made interference in the election process count as a “predicate
act”, which is a prerequisite for RICO prosecutions. Ironically,
this now leaves Trump open to a racketeering prosecution in
Georgia, and a grand jury has been impaneled in Atlanta, which is
looking into whether the former president and his cronies
interfered with and tried to overturn the legal vote count in
Georgia. Beyond the attempt to use a slate of phony electors to
overturn Joe Biden’s win, the grand jury may also be investigating
Trump’s role in instigating and organizing the violence that took
place not only at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., but also before
the January 6th insurrection at the Georgia State Capitol and
Governor’s Mansion. In the latest Election Crimes Bulletin, first
broadcast on Pacifica Radio’s FlashPoints News on July 28, 2022,
host Dennis Bernstein and I discuss the political and technical
reasons why it’ll be easier to indict Trump for a racketeering
crime in Georgia. To learn more, and for a transcript of this
