AOC claims ‘RICO is not a crime’ in testy exchange with Biden impeachment probe witness Tony Bobulinski
NY Post ^ | March 20, 2024 | Ryan King

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was mocked online after she claimed “RICO is not a crime” during a heated exchange Wednesday with President Biden impeachment hearing witness Tony Bobulinski.

Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) asked Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, whether he witnessed “the president commit a crime,” seeking to rebuff GOP narratives about the Biden family during the second public impeachment probe hearing.

“How much time do I have to go through it,” Bobulinski shot back before listing off several items such as “corruption statutes, RICO and conspiracy, [Foreign Agents Registration Act].”

“What is the crime sir, specifically,” the progressive darling pressed again.

Now days, an unlawful action may constitute a violation of law.

That depends upon the wide variation in the definition of, What is a judge?

Leftist judges "think" that they are not obligated to obey the law.

Rather, they "think" that have the neo-communist authority to economically, politically, socially, and spiritually judge - all in a god-like blast of power. And, as we now see in the news, leftist judges "practically" nullify criminal statutes.

Meanwhile, technically, "an unlawful action constitutes a violation of law," but that violation may not be a punishable crime - instead, it may be a wrong with no punishment.

'Ception: Hillary Clinton got out of jail free (in effect re document and info security violations), and other leftists have, because of the No Criminal Intent escape clause that leftist attorneys invoke (if a person can manage to find, from where that magic originates?!).

Somebody better explain to AOC that Bobulinski pitched a no-hitter during his rookie season with the Angels, so next time she can congratulate him about that before she starts asking questions about RICO and other mysteries of the universe.

Ohhh... kinda like the newer version of fairycorn law; only manifests itself when summoned by the feelings driven ideological lawfare union. Got it.

This ‘debate’ highlights but one example of why our justice system is so corruptible and why people have so little faith in it. It's not about right and wrong, guilt or innocence, or finding the real truth.

It's about nuanced language, suppressing/limiting the other side's ability to make their case, picking juries for their assumed ability to be manipulated vs their inherent wisdom or their representation of a defendant's ‘peers’, grandstanding by judges and attorneys who too often use the courtroom as a political stepping stone, and supplanting the intention of the law with legal maneuvering.

RICO: Racketeering,Influence Peddling,Corruption,Organization

Its a crime which has several predicate crimes taken together.

RICO is a crime.

The Dem Left is afraid of it as a crime, Thats why they say "Its not a crime."

You see RICO is not a crime when its being used against another leftist treasonous bastard like Biden, who uses RICO as a crime as a fascist tyrant, against his political opponents via lawfare and a weaponized DOJ/FBI.

BUt try that on any Dem, and all of a sudden RICO is not a crime. F*ck them!

But RICO is a crime when used against Republicans in Georgia.

BUahahahahahaha!

It is to laff. Hard.

Its the old Dem lefty trick, "Is" is not what "is", was used by Bill Clinton in reference to his sexual trysts with Monica Lewinski. Sex is not Sex, pizmo, wingo, I am a jedi knight,nothing to see here move on? BUahahahahaa!

And that logic by AOC revealed in the impeachment hearing means one thing: " We got 'em dead to rights."

And now is the time to go ahead with the case.

Meanwhile, in LA, shiplifting under $900.00 is "not a crime" either. BUahahahahaha! The People of America are getting sick of "Its not a crime!" and soon will start forming Committees of Safety.Or they are moving to places like Texas.

NOT A CRIME has become the wailing wall of every sadistic , unamerican idiot dem lefty this side of the Pecos River.

Guess what? IT DOESN"T WORK

And TRump is now going to win in November because "Not a crime" doesn't work.

Need your car hijacked with not a crime?

It can be arranged.

Need you daughter raped by an ilegal alien with not a crime?

It can be easily arranged.

NOT A CRIME is so weird that we are all continually suprised how people can get sucked in by it.


Homicide is not a crime. MURDER IS ! BUahahahahahahahaha!

"Is" is not what "is" IS, you see!


We have seen it all before.
