Well he's citing the federal law and Georgia is relying on its state version which I'm sure does not have that requirement
a. It shall be unlawful for any person, through a pattern of racketeering activity or proceeds derived therefrom, to acquire or maintain, directly or indirectly, any interest in or control of any enterprise, real property, or personal property of any nature, including money.
b. It shall be unlawful for any person employed by or associated with any enterprise to conduct or participate in, directly or indirectly, such enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity.
c. It shall be unlawful for any person to conspire or endeavor to violate any of the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) of this Code section. A person violates this subsection when:
1. He or she together with one or more persons conspires to violate any of the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) of this Code section and any one or more of such persons commits any overt act to effect the object of the conspiracy;
or
2. He or she endeavors to violate any of the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) of this Code section and commits any overt act to effect the object of the endeavor.

My questions are:
1. How does the indictment define the enterprise?
2. How can you be indirectly involved yet charged with racketeering? That is very broad, don't ya think?

Ask Rudy, who built his career on this authoritarianism

If you have questions this specific about the indictment, just read it yourself It’s long but it’s not dense or legalese.

The usual rote response from the mechanistic "law and order" types has been "if you aren't a crook, you've nothing to worry about."
