Will SDNY RICO the Trump Organization?

Post by _MeDotOrg »

Increasingly this seems like a real possibility. Ironically, one of the people who used the RICO act to great effect was Rudy Giuliani. A lot will have to do with testimony from Trump Organization employees, both past and present. Allen Weisselberg or Rhona Graff could be the Joseph Valachi of the Trump Family.

Someone said Federal Prosecutors are motivated by the idea of DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. Expenditures are justified not just by the prosecution at hand, but also the message it sends to others. That spirit led Trump's attorney to prosecute some underworld figures. That same could be motivating Federal Prosecutors today.

If the Feds bring down RICO charges, where would it leave the Russian investors? Could the Kremlin countersue?
