Willis had a deadline of Midnight, Tuesday, September 12th to present her plan to try all 19 defendants at once. She has now done so.

It’s more meant to solve a problem in criminal law.
Before RICO, they weren’t able to get the mob bosses, and leadership. They’d never do anything illegal themselves.
They’d get other people to do it, but they themselves were never guilty. “I wouldn’t know anything about that. I was having dinner at Giovanni’s. Plenty of witnesses!”
So, now RICO becomes law, and it closed that loophole.
Sure, trump didn’t sign any sort of fake electors, but he definitely lead a conspiracy to do so. Sure, trump didn’t lead anyone to Jan 6… but he certainly meant to, and would have, and uh, he lead that conspiracy too
And having it all in one trial prevents parallel finger pointing. “That guy in the other trial is the real boss.” Well, you all worked together, so it really doesn’t make much difference who was management and who was a lackey.
Yup.
It’s very useful for sticking it to someone like trump.
Even if he’s the most incompetent wannabe mob boss ever.
Although, Trump did directly ask the governor to “find” extra votes for him. So he is directly complicit in this case.
He did.
Most incompetent wannabe-monster ever, yes.
Lol
RICO for Trump sounds like a perfect fit. If he isn’t convicted & sentenced to prison then our country is truly lost in corruption.
