292. I thought of RICO too, especially regarding Cheney's Energy policy,

but two things are in the way: can a public official be subject to
RICO (did they get the eccentric Chicago congressman on RICO?) and
would anyone in this government have the guts to bring a RICO charge
against Cheney and Bush and company.

If it went through the DOJ, forget about it.

If it went to the DC Federal courts, or DC appellate district, forget about it.The Supremes the same. The House of Reps will never bring articles of impeachment.

a real problem. they've got all corners covered with their lackeys/appointees.

The only way appears to be through the CIA/Military, and they won't bother with any RICO.

MEHR, I believe it was Rudi who used RICO first and successfully, and then continued its use, mostly against the Mafia.
