The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is a United States Federal Law passed in 1970 that was designed to provide a tool for law enforcement agencies to fight organized crime. RICO allows prosecution and punishment for alleged racketeering activity that has been executed as part of an ongoing criminal enterprise.
Activity considered to be racketeering may include bribery, counterfeiting, money laundering, embezzlement, illegal gambling, kidnapping, murder, drug trafficking, slavery, and a host of other nefarious business practices.
James Comey and The FBI will present a recommendation to Loretta Lynch, Attorney General of the Department of Justice, that includes a cogent argument that the Clinton Foundation is an ongoing criminal enterprise engaged in money laundering and soliciting bribes in exchange for political, policy and legislative favors to individuals, corporations and even governments both foreign and domestic.
FRANK COMEY .
“The New York Times examined Bill Clinton’s relationship with a Canadian mining financier, Frank Giustra, who has donated millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation and sits on its board. Clinton, the story suggests, helped Giustra’s company secure a lucrative uranium-mining deal in Kazakhstan and in return received “a flow of cash” to the Clinton Foundation, including previously undisclosed donations from the company’s chairman totaling $2.35 million.” ( Bloomberg)
Initially, Comey had indicated that the investigation into Hillary’s home brewed email server was to be concluded by October of 2015. However, as more and more evidence in the case has come to light, this initial date kept being pushed back as the criminal investigation has expanded well beyond violating State Department regulations to include questions about espionage, perjury and influence peddling.
Here’s what we do know. Tens of millions of dollars donated to the Clinton Foundation was funneled to the organization through a Canadian shell company which has made tracing the donors nearly impossible. Less than 10% of donations to the Foundation has actually been released to charitable organizations and $2M that has been traced back to long time Bill Clinton friend Julie McMahon (aka The Energizer). When the official investigation into Hillary’s email server began, she instructed her IT professional to delete over 30,000 emails and cloud backups of her emails older than 30 days at both Platte River Networks and Datto, Inc. The FBI has subsequently recovered the majority, if not all, of Hillary’s deleted emails and are putting together a strong case against her for attempting to cover up her illegal and illicit activities.
A conviction under RICO comes when the Department of Justice proves that the defendant has engaged in two or more examples of racketeering and that the defendant maintained an interest in, participated in or invested in a criminal enterprise affecting interstate or foreign commerce. There is ample evidence already in the public record that the Clinton Foundation qualifies as a criminal enterprise and there’s no doubt that the FBI is privy to significantly more evidence than has already been made public.
Under RICO, the sections most relevant in this case will be section 1503 (obstruction of justice), section 1510 (obstruction of criminal investigations) and section 1511 (obstruction of State or local law enforcement). As in the case with Richard Nixon after the Watergate Break-in, it’s the cover-up of a crime that will be the Clintons’ downfall. Furthermore, under provisions of title 18, United States Code: Section 201, the Clinton Foundation can be held accountable for improprieties relating to bribery. The FBI will be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that through the Clinton Foundation, international entities were able to commit bribery in exchange for help in securing business deals, such as the uranium-mining deal in Kazakhstan.
It is a Federal Crime to negligently handle classified information under United States Code (USC) 18 section 1924. It is a Federal Class A Felony under USC 18 section 798. Hillary certified under oath to a federal judge that she had handed over to the state department all of her emails, which she clearly did not. In spite of her repeated statements to the effect that everything that she did with her home brewed email server as Secretary of State was above-board and approved by the State Department, the Inspector General Report vehemently refutes this claim. Hillary refused to be interview by the Inspector General’s office in their investigation, claiming that her upcoming FBI interview took precedent but it seems more likely that Hillary is more concerned about committing perjury or admitting to anything that can be used against her in a court of law.
“Secretary Clinton should have preserved any Federal records she created and received on her personal account by printing and filing those records with the related files in the Office of the Secretary. At a minimum, Secretary Clinton should have surrendered all emails dealing with Department business before leaving government service and, because she did not do so, she did not comply with the Department’s policies that were implemented in accordance with the Federal Records Act.”
Inspector General Report
Hillary Clinton is guilty of exposing classified documents to foreign governments by placing them illegally on her server, of sending and receiving classified documents and conspiring with her staff to circumvent the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by avoiding the use of the State Department run servers. Some of the documents were so highly classified the the investigators on the case weren’t even able to examine the material themselves until they got their own clearances raised to the highest levels.
While there is an excellent cast to be made the Hillary committed treasonous actions, the strongest case the FBI has is charging both Bill and Hillary Clinton as well as the Clinton Foundation of Racketeering. There’s no wonder why it’s taken this long for the FBI to bring forward a recommendation.
The rabbit hole is so deep on this one that it has taking dozens of investigators to determine the full extent of the crimes that have been committed. Perhaps the most interesting question here is whether or not the FBI’s investigation will be able to directly link The Clinton Foundation with The Hillary Victory Fund. If this happens, the DNC itself may be in jeopardy of accusations of either being an accomplice or of being complicit in racketeering.
That would be good for Trump. So it won't happen.
The last Dem Primary is June 14: Washington D.C. The FBI will not issue any report to Justice before then.
The Dem Convention starts July 25th. IMHO, the FBI will issue their report and hand it to Loretta Lynch before that date but no sooner than June 15.
What will Lynch do when she gets that report? Easy answer: Request a meeting with Obama.
What will Obama do? Now that is the question isn't it.
Your theory is sound: Lynch may punt by recommending an independent prosecutor, and that may work out very nicely.
IMHO.....Hillary Clinton i finished as a POTUS candidate!!! Obama & the DOJ (AG, Lortta Lynch) will offer her a “Mafia” deal she cannot refuse....withdraw from the POTUS race for ill health reasons or, go to jail!!! Obama is in panic and fears Clinton will destroy what tiny positive legacy he still holds. Plan on “Plugs”, Biden & “Pochantas” Warren as the POTUS & VP “Obama” team!!! Californians....do not waste your Democrat vote....cast it for Bernie Sanders next Tuesday, June 7, 2016!!!
The story has nothing new in it. Just a lot of assumptions. No meat here.
According to the Brietbart piece,“Huffpo has yet to respond to my request for an explanation,” Huguenard tweeted at this Breitbart News reporter Monday morning. “I’ve got my sources, they never asked.”
I read this as he claims to have sources, but the Huff editor didn't ask about them, and just killed the story. Is Frank Huguenard a credible reporter?
I'm not wishing for Hillary to fade away quietly. Creepy Uncle Joe/Fauxcahontas would be a more formidable ticket. A few days before the election (as with W's DWI) might be a good time for an indictment.
I think this was a shot across the bow from 0bama to Hillary. If she doesn’t follow the party line she would be indicted. And if she continues to fall in the polls she may be indicted as well. At any rate they can’t allow Trump to be elected or a lot of insiders are going to prison.Having said that, I expect to see 0bama pardon everybody, including himself, on the way out the door. Sad, but none of these crooks will ever pay for their crimes. And I would gladly eat my hat if I’m wrong. Gladly.
RCG, I think that has been discussed here already. In deference to their age, and the length of sentences do you really lock up a former 1st couple? One solution discussed was House Arrest in Chapaqaw. In terms of them not leaving the facility, or not having vistors ( the "Battery" type for Bill ) it maybe poetic justice that they have to learn to live with one another for the rest of their days...
It’s time to Clean Up Hillary’s BS !
Hillary is giving Americans a slap in the face.
WE THE PEOPLE must ban together and call for a Citizens Arrest of Hillary Clinton. We, as Americans, should legally be able to do this right. People are needed in every city, where Hillary campaigns, to move forward to arrest her. What else can we do? This act will surely move and expedite the investigation of Hillary’s criminal activities. As Americans, we have this right, however unorthodox it may be. At a minimum criminal charges should be directed at Hillary’s obstruction of justice.
Americas future depends you.
Place Hillary under Citizens Arrest!!
I agree that she skates.
In the meantime, operation “sand bag” proceeds apace. We will now witness a release of the worst facts about what she has done wrong vis-à-vis influence peddling and comprising our national security. An air of inescapability will surround her. The walls will be closing in.
Then, soon after she secures the nomination the justice department or, more probably, the political appointees in the FBI will declare that “despite what you may have read or heard” Mrs. Clinton has not engaged in any “chargeable” wrongdoing or some such “meaning of is, is” type parsing.
Abra Ca Dabra, she will be deemed cleansed by the MSM.
I can see the breathlessly written stories and headlines now (especially since they have already been written). “Unprecedented Scrutiny Directed at Clinton Yields Little and Provides Vindication.” Move on, nothing to see here. Drown out inevitable whistleblowers in the FBI and intel community who were involved in the investigation and can’t see how she skated. Drown out dissent or disgust. Oh no, she has been cleansed of the latest chapter of the VRWC.
If Obama becomes convinced that Hillary is too damaged to win, and therefore unable to continue his policies, he just might tell Loretta Lynch to go ahead with the indictment. He could then hold a press conference where he thanks Hillary for her service to the country, but “very reluctantly” and “regrettably” feels in would be it the best interest of the country if she withdraws from the race. It makes Obama look like a hero for putting the best interest of the country ahead of the Democrat party, and then allows him to orchestrate Biden’s nomination behind the scenes. In exchange for stepping down, Obama grants Hillary a full pardon before any prosecution takes place, just as Ford did with Nixon.
No, there are no sources in the original article and there is nothing we haven’t seen for months except the writer’s opinion that RICO charges could be appropriate in this situation.
After Huffpo took the article down, the writer claimed “I have sources” but has given no indication or hints regarding any sources.
Because to do so would establish an uncomfortable precedent for Jarrett/Obama who are likely doing much the same as the Clintons.
I heard on Fox News (for what it's worth) this morning that the "Huffington Post" reporter was sticking by his story.
I once held the same view and scenario as you outline with Biden/Warren replacing Hillary. My problem is just how the rats could sell this to the Bernie supporters without huge riots and a tremendous backlash on election day.
A new theory that I have not heard is that _resident Obama will wait until its to late to allow substitute nominees before having Hil’liar’y indicted.
He will then suspend the elections until such time as the process for a subsequent election can be created, say about oh, 4 years or so.
The _resident, being very _residential will pardon everyone related to the incidents for the good of the country and let all his friends (pronounced political lackey’s) skate free and clear.
YOU HEARD IT HEAR FIRST - AND - You can choose for yourselves whether or not to put on your tin foil hats.
“I fully expect Obummer to pardon Clinton but her career is (almost) over.”
Obama going forward with any prosecution will be his legacy. If anything, it will mean he saved the rat party. He will then pardon her, as he can.
I honestly think the rats ar absolutely lost right now and have no idea how to replace Hilarity with another candidate. Would that candidate need to be on all 50 ballots? This may be the problem. The only candidate that they can replace Hilarity with is Bernie since he is the only their candidate on all 50 ballots.
HRC’s personal email server seems to be the tip of the iceberg: the real scandal probably will be the Clinton Family Foundation, which is a big slush fund/money laundering/pay-for-play scheme. Why would Obama want to link himself to THAT?
To me it all starts with Billy Jeff campaigning for O. O more than likely told them , I know you are disappointed by not getting the big job, but heres the deal. Set up your foundation, Hilly gets SOS, you leverage that into $$$ for yourselves and thats your reward , just don’t get me involved.....
Yep, there’s the rub. Nobody besides Bernie can run besides her. Otherwise it’s mostly a write in campaign. Same goes with Kristol and his b.s.
Then, soon after she secures the nomination the justice department or, more probably, the political appointees in the FBI will declare that “despite what you may have read or heard” Mrs. Clinton has not engaged in any “chargeable” wrongdoing or some such “meaning of is, is” type parsing.

highly likely due to the Dems knowing how crooked she is.
Last hope for America. All those R’s who didn’t vote last time see to it that they do so this time to prevent this criminal from ever reaching the White House as President.
Also that enough of the Bernie supporters see how she has been covered for and express their disgust by voting against her.
After all those super delegates will be covered also by exonerating her......
