How inconvenient for the narrative.

The narrative makes perfect sense for those who willfully ignore the timeline of events and evidentiary proof of Trump’s wrongdoing during the 2+ years before declaring his candidacy.

Oh the outrage we'll see if Lindsay Graham is on the list.

What happened in Coffee Co with access to the voting machines is a necessary element of the RICO charge.

 

Conviction on a RICO charge carries a mandatory minimum of 5 years prison time.

I imagine the question is how much of the activities in question can be blamed on the actions of Trump’s lawyers as opposed to being traced directly back to Trump himself?    
 

But one huge consideration:   it’s my understanding that the protection of executive privilege and attorney/client privilege does not extend to illegal or unlawful activity.  
 

If the prosecution can demonstrate that what Trump and/or his legal counsel were doing was illegal….then any meetings, conversations, and/or electronic communications related to said activities would become admissible.

That's the point of the RICO charge. They have to establish the criminal enterprise then they just need to prove that ANY member of that enterprise committed an overt act towards their corrupt goal.

 

ie they need to prove Trump is a part of the criminal organization. They do not need to connect him directly to that overt act. It's why RICO is used against mob bosses.

 

And Fani Willis apparently has a history of getting convictions with RICO charges. She's somewhat of an expert in that realm.

 

So connect Trump to the organization and then prove someone in that organization made a move towards their corrupt goal.

It's my understanding that in a RICO conspiracy, that each conspirator can be changed with anything that any of the others have done.

 

Similar to how the getaway driver can be changed with murder committed by the trigger man in an armed robbery.

Throwing out all other crimes, this right here should make a candidate ineligible to run.

That isn't exactly subtle and is very possibly sufficient to get his bail revoked if he tries this on the J6 case...
