the point is the intent of both GA’s and the federal RICO statutes were to go after organized crime, not people who challenge elections.
Well that wasn't the point of bringing up "interstate commerce", which started the federal/state discussion tree.
But, again: tomato/tomato.
If the allegations are proven, this was a criminal organization/enterprise. Same as organized crime.
ETA: had to bold so sky screamers didn't melt down

This RICO thread reminds me of a book called "Three Felonies a Day". Premise is under the monumentally large collection of Federal Statutes [criminal] on the books today, any prosecutor could potentially charge ANY citizen with 3 Felonies a day. Somewhere in beginning of the book it discusses prosecutors bragging and betting on such things, if I recall correctly.

Nope, that’s not what was said. The argument was that politics was not commerce, nothing to do with interstate.

By ‘proven’ you mean getting a jury of leftists to convict republicans no matter what.
