      Have any legal scholars out there studied the potential applicability of RICO to the Clinton Foundation FBI probe? DM or mtracey8 @ gmail

      I know RICO is convoluted and applicability is difficult to establish. I'm also interested in whatever other statutes might apply.

          , conspiracy, obstruction and filing of false tax returns. All of those may apply. Could get them on deceptive trade practice too.

          They can yank your non-profit status and you pay back taxes which for them would be tens of millions of dollars.

          The number of charges if it's a deceptive charity could be enormous.

          But the thing to realize about the Foundation is it's incorporated all over. Every state has a charity fraud statute.

          Rico is 18 USC 1961. But basically it's just a way to charge a conspiracy that doesn't know itself. Racketeering is only one 1/2

          Predicate offense. Any act of fraud can be a predicate for a Rico case. Theft, also. And money laundering. All sorts of things.

          It's not much help here, though. RICO is for charging the leaders of a criminal syndicate for the stuff underlings do.

          As for other applicable statutes, it depends on what they catch them doing. Corrine Brown was indicted for mail and wire fraud 1/2

          They'd likely just charge for the predicate offense itself here.

          FBI got former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick on RICO, now in fed prison.On surface, pales in comparison to Clinton Family crimes.
