Episode notes
Georgia RICO Case Significance
- The RICO prosecution in Georgia poses the biggest legal threat to Donald Trump.
- A state-level conviction prevents presidential pardons, unlike federal cases.
RICO Indictment Strategy
- The Georgia indictment uses the RICO Act to target Trump and 18 alleged co-conspirators.
- This allows prosecutors to connect various activities into a single narrative, but it doesn't confirm criminal intent.
RICO vs. Conspiracy
- RICO targets overarching criminal enterprises rather than isolated conspiracies.
- This allows prosecution of individuals within an organization without proving direct involvement in each crime.
