Like all long-lived Mafia bosses, Trump manages to insulate himself from direct involvement. I think he's fucked on the documents and Georgia cases, though.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 7 September 2023 16:10 (seven months ago) link
The Jan. 6 Committee made the case that by sitting and watching the rioters on tv and not saying anything for hours Trump was tacitly showing his support for the coup. Which is true, but probably hard to prosecute.

There's no realistic doubt that Trump asked for and was presented with a wide variety of ideas for stealing the election, that he approved of them, and directed people like Meadows, Eastman and Giuliani to actively pursue them. He did his share by loudly and openly claiming he won and that any evidence Biden won was based in voter fraud. He was well aware of the Proud Boys, Three-Percenters, Oathkeepers and QAnon because he was thoroughly briefed about them. His long term history shows how well he understands the use of threats, intimidation and violence as a tool for getting what he wants.
But mainly there's no doubt because he did it all in the open! It was reported in the news on a daily basis all through the months just before the election right up to January 6th, 2021.

For a more thorough understanding of Georgia’s RICO statute, its application and similar laws inother states, I encourage you to read “RICO State-by-State.” As a non-member of the bar, you canpurchase a copy for two hundred forty-nine dollars [$249].

My favorite bit: "Chairman Jordan, I tell people often “deal with reality or reality will deal with you.” It is time that you deal with some basic realities. A Special Purpose Grand Jury made up of everyday citizens investigated for 10 months and made recommendations to me. A further reality is that a grand jury of completely different Fulton County citizens found probable cause against the defendants named in the indictment for RICO violations and various other felonies. Face this reality, Chairman Jordan: the select group of defendants who you fret over in my jurisdiction are like every other defendant, entitled 10 no worse or better treatment than any other American citizen."

My favorite part of the letter might be its final pages and comments, which a header stresses were voluntary. Which is to say, she could have ignored his intrusion, or she could have just answered his questions, but she instead chose to go out of her way just to dunk on him some more.

My fear right now is that the Cop City RICO case is going to get challenged by the ACLU and others, quickly escalated to the US Supreme Court, and the conservative justices do a little about-face and invalidate the Georgia RICO statues on that one to look like they're not meddling in the election one.

I think using RICO statutes for an semi-organized group of protestors will not hold up in court at all... there's thing whole thing in the Constitution about 'redress of grievances' that covers protestors. They can be charged with trespassing, vandalism, etc., but that's not what RICO was set up for
