(6,386 posts)I'm not a lawyer...so, make sure you got a big grain of salt with ya on this one...
IIRC, RICO is a list of about 13-14 illegal activities (some of which on the surface seem pretty minor) that, when done in an organized manner among 3 or more people...that's RICO.
Lawyers...have I got that anywhere near right ?

(252 posts)the panel is so partisan. The republicans aren't even asking questions relevant to the investigation. They are way off on a tangent about leaks from FBI and CIA.

(3,256 posts)They will drag out the investigation forever and it could be a whitewash. The only hope is that foreign intelligence has enough dope that they are forced to cover their own ass. My confidence in the FBI has been zero for about 50 years.

(4,033 posts)When Watergate broke and everything was revealed, it was a Republican who went to the White House to tell Nixon he had to resign. Can you see Gowdy or McConnell or Ryan ever getting to that point?

(28,811 posts)calls for today: no SC nomination until this is cleared up.
of course my senators are both republican tools. but i'll make the calls dammit.
question: does only the Senate consider SC nominees? i know i should know this but i don't.

(1,570 posts)if the DOJ is not willing to press charges it means nothing. Though more likely Comey is just going to rubber stamp a clean bill of health.

(3,208 posts)I am loving this! I knew the trump people would be caught doing something, maybe not this big nor this soon.
I called my Senators today to remind them Gorsuch is not a good person for that office. I don't really see how they are going to proceed with that considering where the pres. and executive office is right now.
(now if I could just find the remote for the fart machine that my grandson lost yesterday, today will be put down as a perfect day all around!)
