From Balloon Juice:
Crash Course in Georgia RICO & the GA Indictment
The Elements of a RICO Charge in Georgia
RICO is a somewhat complicated statute. To prove the crime of RICO, there are very specific elements with their own specific definitions. The state must also prove separate underlying offenses beyond a reasonable doubt in addition to proving RICO.Specifically, the state must prove:
the defendant committed two or more predicate crimes (which are listed in *C.G.A. § 16-14-3);
that the predicate acts were committed as part of an enterprise engaging in a pattern of racketeering activity;
and that either:
one or more of the acts that form the pattern resulted in the defendant acquiring or maintaining control of any enterprise, real property, or personal property (including money),
or
the defendant was employed by or associated with an enterprise through a pattern of racketeering.
*O.C.G.A. § 16-14-3 defines and explains what these terms mean. An “enterprise” is defined as a person or business recognized under state law or some other legal entity (such as a partnership, corporation, union, etc.); or a group or association which is not a legally recognized entity but associate and identify as a group with a common purpose or goal. An enterprise can be legitimate or illegal and can also include governmental entities.
The fourth indictment of Donald Trump, just like the three which came before it, portrays a repeated pattern of criminal activity by the former president.

More about RICO in Georgia:
Terms Defined
“Racketeering activity” means to commit, attempt, or solicit another person to commit a specific crime listed in the statute, which includes over 40 different types of offenses. Examples of included offenses, often referred to as “predicate acts” or “predicate offenses,” are homicide, theft, fraud, perjury, commercial bribery, drug distribution, drug trafficking and dozens more. The state is required to prove at least two of these offenses beyond a reasonable doubt. The offenses do not have to be charged separately in the indictment. So long as they are listed in the indictment and proved to be a predict act, which is one of the elements to prove the RICO charge itself, that is sufficient. Furthermore, the state does not have to prove every single predicate act beyond a reasonable doubt. Proving at least two acts is all that’s required.A “pattern of racketeering activity” means engaging in at least two incidents of racketeering activity to accomplish at least one scheme or plan that have the same or similar intents, results, accomplices, victims, or methods of committing crime(s) or are otherwise connected by distinguishing characteristics and are not isolated incidents. For example, a group of individuals decide they need money fast by whatever means necessary and agree to split the profits. One steals debit cards and withdraws money from ATMs, another forges checks, and another robs supermarkets. While these are different crimes requiring separate elements of proof, they are interrelated for RICO purposes because they were all done to achieve a single goal: gaining money. If one of the individuals robbed a bank 10 years ago, got away with it, and then forged checks as part of the group’s scheme, the bank robbery likely wouldn’t be considered a predicate act because it was an isolated incident by a single individual and had no connection to the group’s plan and goal.
Predicate crimes that fall under this Act (and may be used to show a “pattern” of unlawful conduct) include the following: drug offenses, homicide, bodily injury, arson, burglary, forgery, theft, robbery, prostitution and pandering, distributing obscene materials, bribery, influencing witnesses, tampering with witnesses or victims, intimidation of a juror or court officer, perjury, tampering with evidence, commercial gambling, certain firearm offenses, illegally reproducing copyrighted material, various securities violations, certain credit card crimes, certain crimes involving titles, destroying or misrepresenting identification numbers, possessing automobile parts with missing identification features, various computer crimes, kidnapping, false imprisonment, terroristic threats, motor vehicle and aircraft hijacking, insurance fraud, usurious payday loans, deceptive commercial e-mail, and residential mortgage fraud.
A conviction under Georgia’s RICO statute will result in a 5- to 20-year sentence, a fine, or both. A judge may fine a defendant up to three times the amount of any money obtained by the defendant during the scheme.
The Georgia Indictments say there were zero "no bills." That means that the Grand Jury decided to indict in all cases that the DA (the prosecutor) sought. This is very very bad news for Trump, and likely others in his circle.

Trump stiffed his alleged co-conspirators, whose false claims brought in $250 million

Several of former President Donald Trump’s allies, including Rudy Giuliani, who are now facing criminal charges for helping him try to overturn the results of the 2020 election were never paid by the Trump political operation for work they did in late 2020.
The failure to pay Giuliani and his team came up last week in a private interview between special counsel Jack Smith’s team and Bernard Kerik, a Giuliani associate, according to an attorney for Kerik.
Trump and his allies raised $250 million off false claims that were peddled nationwide by people including Giuliani and Kerik, the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot said.
That money is now helping Trump pay a small army of lawyers defending him against criminal charges.

“I would advise Ron DeSantis to thank voters for their consideration and remove himself from the race,” said Alex Castellanos, a longtime Republican consultant (Bob Dole, George W. Bush) and CNN commentator. He elaborated: “There is no good way for DeSantis to attack Trump about Jan. 6 or anything else. There is no point in chaining a goat to a stake in front of a T. Rex, then asking the goat to assault the T. Rex. It has not worked out well for other goats, many stronger and smarter than this one.” Here, Castellanos’ response went into more detail about Trump’s electoral history. “So, no,” he concluded, “I would not advise the candidate who lost to the Mouseketeers to attack the T. Rex.” (Disney’s lawsuit against the state of Florida over DeSantis’ effort to revoke Disney World’s special tax status is ongoing.)
Joe Trippi, a longtime Democratic consultant (Howard Dean, Jerry Brown) who has also appeared on CNN, was more direct: “I would tell DeSantis the hard truth. In my 40 years in presidential politics, I have never seen a worse campaign and candidate. He should withdraw from the race.” Source

Judge dismisses suit to halt Biden’s student debt relief for longtime borrowers
By Danielle Douglas-Gabriel
August 14, 2023 at 7:53 p.m. EDT
A federal judge on Monday denied a bid by two conservative groups to block the Biden administration from canceling the federal student loans of more than 800,000 people who have been in repayment for more than 20 years.
The Cato Institute and Mackinac Center for Public Policy filed a lawsuit earlier this month, saying the administration violated federal law by failing to produce the forgiveness policy through the traditional rulemaking process and offer the public the opportunity to comment. The groups also claimed the policy would harm their recruitment efforts and asked the court to stop the federal government from canceling any debt as the case proceeds.
U.S. District Judge Thomas L. Ludington of the Eastern District of Michigan issued an 18-page order dismissing the case, concluding the groups lacked the standing to stop one of the administration’s latest efforts to alleviate the burden of student debt.

Over 800,000 student-loan borrowers are set to start seeing their debt wiped out following income-driven repayment reforms
Story by asheffey@businessinsider.com (Ayelet Sheffey) •23h
Over 800,000 student-loan borrowers are set to start seeing their debt wiped out.
It’s part of a one-time account adjustment for borrowers on income-driven repayment plans.
The future of the relief is uncertain after conservative groups filed a lawsuit to block it.
Student-loan forgiveness is set to begin for thousands of borrowers.
On Monday, student-loan companies are set to begin discharging the debt of 804,000 borrowers who have qualified for $39 billion in debt relief — part of the first batch of borrowers affected by the Education Department’s one-time account adjustment for income-driven repayment plans.
The department announced on July 14 that borrowers who had made the required 20 or 25 years of qualifying payments on income-driven repayment plans would be notified of their debt cancellation and that 30 days later, their servicers would begin discharging their loans.
“At the start of this Administration, millions of borrowers had earned loan forgiveness but never received it. That’s unacceptable,” Under Secretary of Education James Kvaal said in a statement at the time. “Today we are holding up the bargain we offered borrowers who have completed decades of repayment.”
What nonsense is this?

Trump announcing a “major news conference” on his ratchet social media app is why Alina Habba, Christina Bobb and John Lauro are the best lawyers he can get.

What I love about the Trump indictment is how BLACK it is. I know that is the worst nightmare of Trump and his sycophants.
From the lashes and 28-piece pixie cut, to the sleek bob, to the Rick Ross beard–
Thank you Fulton County, Georgia and Fani Willis, no matter what happens. https://t.co/id2V5kkKYu

I want to salute Fulton County @FaniforDA, a courageous prosecutor who has shown the mettle, the integrity & the fearlessness demanded by this moment. She has been threatened, maligned by Trump & his followers & underestimated by pundits. But she has faced down all of them.

All of those indicted by @FaniforDA has until noon Friday to surrender to Fulton County authorities. ALL, including @realDonaldTrump, will be handcuffed, fingerprinted and a mugshot taken. NONE will get preferential treatment. BOOYAH!

Today’s interview with Hillary Clinton proves why the country should’ve listened to Black Women in 2016.
94% of Black Women VOTED for Hillary.
The country voted for an INCOMPETENT man (including the 53% of White Women) to ever grace the White House. I’m still salty.

Hi I’m Bill Palmer. I’m the guy who told you along that Donald Trump was going to be indicted in multiple jurisdictions, and that his life was going to end up being all about criminal charges, criminal trials, and prison sentences. I took a lot of shit for it. But so be it 🙂

A reminder: Trump’s campaign manager, deputy campaign manager, national security advisor, foreign policy advisor, personal lawyer, top political advisor have all been convicted of felonies since Trump was elected. Campaign began as criminal enterprise & expanded to the entire GOP
