"Federal Investigations"

That was the supra lede on the front page of NYT today. So many investigations, so little space.

Director Comey wrote in A Higher Loyalty that dealing with Trump reminded him of meeting gangsters of Murder, Inc. in his early days as a prosecutor.

It was an analogy pregnant with suggestion for the way to bring down a racketeering organization is...RICO, the racketeer influenced and corrupt organization act.

RICO is the criminal law weaponized. It was used to bankrupt the Klan (I don't think my brother was an officer I said I don't think). With all of those "Federal Investigations," with a Special Counsel involved, with the Southern District of New York involved, with the New York Attorney General's office involved (Oh...the Trump Foundation today was shuttered by NYAG for "rampant illegality"), with Mueller unable to indict Trump personally, a RICO indictment of all of Trump, Inc. would bankrupt all of the cells Trump, Inc. and Trump personally. It was to bring complex litigation against all of the parts of a sprawling criminal enterprise into one shootin' match that was the raison d'etre of the first RICO statutes. RICO has got Trump's name written all over it.

MAKE RICO GREAT AGAIN!
