Haberman: Trump is preparing for an indictment

CNN's Maggie Haberman says that President Joe Biden's summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin really underscored to former President Donald Trump that he's no longer president while he and his advisers are preparing for a criminal indictment.

Of course he is scared. Presidential protection gone. Bring on the indictments.

I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m so exhausted. Watching Trump and his enablers getting away with so much and no accountability. 😫🤨😤😖

I never like to wish ill will on anyone but this man not only needs the indictment he needs to be convicted

The RICO statute was created specifically for criminals like Trump and his criminal organisation.

In order to be found guilty of violating the RICO statute, the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt: (1) that an enterprise existed; (2) that the enterprise affected interstate commerce; (3) that the defendant was associated with or employed by the enterprise; (4) that the defendant engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity; and (5) that the defendant conducted or participated in the conduct of the enterprise through that pattern of racketeering activity through the commission of at least two acts of racketeering activity as set forth in the indictment.

A pattern of racketeering activity requires at least two acts of racketeering activity committed within ten years of each other. 
The government must show that the racketeering predicates are related, and that they amount to or pose a threat of continued criminal activity. Racketeering predicates are related if they have the same or similar purposes, results, participants, victims, or methods of commission, or otherwise are interrelated by distinguishing characteristics and are not isolated events.

Continuity refers either to a closed period of repeated conduct, or to past conduct that by its nature projects into the future with a threat of repetition.

As to the continuity requirement, the government may show that the racketeering acts found to have been committed pose a threat of continued racketeering activity by proving: (1) that the acts are part of a long-term association that exists for criminal purposes, or (2) that they are a regular way of conducting the defendant's ongoing legitimate business, or (3) that they are a regular way of conducting or participating in an ongoing and legitimate enterprise.

The government need not prove that the defendant agreed with every other conspirator, knew all of the other conspirators, or had full knowledge of all the details of the conspiracy. All that must be shown is: (1) that the defendant agreed to commit the substantive racketeering offense through agreeing to participate in two racketeering acts; (2) that he knew the general status of the conspiracy; and (3) that he knew the conspiracy extended beyond his individual role.

I think you guys need to turn around and understand president Biden did apologized so get over yourselves media needs to turn around and stop comparing Trump to President Biden because President Biden is doing his job not playing golf...

[waynejackson]

Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment now is the best time to invest and make money 💯

[CrazyAboutVinylRecords]

He should be preparing for indictments, as in more than one. Prosecutors are coming for him and hell is right behind them.

[zollen]

Trump: I know more about indictment than anyone else.

[poisontoad]

Any civilised country would have him and the rest of his crime family locked up already. It's disgraceful how this is playing out.

[secretsquirrel]

The difference in the reactions of other world leaders towards Biden and towards trump speaks volumes.

[mrjp]

You're still talking about Trump LMAO 🤣. please stop this is too funny!

[tylerwood]

Lock him up, lock them all up and throw away the key.

[sharondavis]

I see nothing has changed with trump. He is still lying!

[MrJonesy]

The last time that Donald Trump met Putin Trump had a dog collar on and Putin was leading him around

[katelaloba]

Yes. He's lining up everyone he is going to throw under the bus as his preperation

[williammudloff]

October 2020: "If I lose this election, to sleepy Joe Biden, I promise to leave the Country, and you'll never see me again". What's he still doing here? Go away already.

[jimwedge]

I’m having a hard time suspending disbelief. One observation, Stormy Daniels, the adult entertainment star, operates on a higher moral plane than the former president. WTF.

[jensenchuaphotography]

Finally, justice will be served. You can't keep committing crime and think " I am rich and powerful. I am untouchable" .
