Adam Schiff hires organized crime expert to lead Trump investigation

[Lakhota]

Representative Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, has hired a veteran prosecutor with experience fighting Russian organized crime to lead his investigation of the Trump Administration. Last month, according to a committee source, Daniel Goldman, who served as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York from 2007 to 2017, joined the committee’s staff as a senior adviser and the director of investigations.

Goldman seems well suited to lead this effort. As deputy chief of the organized-crime section of the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office, Goldman supervised the prosecution of more than thirty defendants accused of racketeering, gambling, and money laundering. During his decade in the office, Goldman convicted individuals associated with Russian organized crime of securities fraud and health-care fraud, and convicted leading figures in the Genovese crime family of racketeering and murder.

I'm also hearing more and more talk about RICO:

Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Law

The federal Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) law was passed in 1970 as the "ultimate hit man" in mob prosecutions. Prior to RICO, prosecutors could only try mob-related crimes individually. Since different mobsters perpetrated each crime, the government could only prosecute individual criminals instead of shutting down an entire criminal organization. Today, the government rarely uses RICO against the Mafia. Instead, because the law is so broad, both governmental and civil parties use it against all sorts of enterprises, both legal and illegal.

RICO allows for prosecution of all individuals involved in a corrupt organization. For mob prosecutions, that means that the government can go after top leadership as well as the hit men and capos. And RICO established much enhanced sentences, as well. John L. Smith described the impact of RICO in an article for the Las Vegas Review-Journal: "After RICO, mob families began to crack under the very real threat that members and associates could be indicted en masse for a wide range of criminal activity. ... [E]ven the strongest stand-up guy would have trouble fading the 20-year (and more) sentences that began accompanying RICO convictions."

While RICO was originally aimed at the Mafia, over the past 37 years, prosecutors have used it to attack many forms of organized crime: street gangs, gang cartels, corrupt police departments and even politicians.

I hope the fake media cleans up their soiled (with repeated examples of Leftist bias) reputations by following Shifty Schiff and watching him like a hawk.

Sometime between now and the end if this fellow's "investigation," Shifty is undoubtedly going to make a purchase at the "Plausible Excuses" store to fill up on their best plausible excuses to explain to the media why this Sherlock Homie will have found NOTHING.

I think it's more bullshit from your kind. Sounds like the gutless soulless democrats are doing everything they can to impede this country.

I said since the 1980s that Trump needs some RICO intervention. Maybe he will finally see some.


As far as RICO itself is concerned, I knew of a (drug) case that hit close to home. The Feds subpoenaed about 100 folks. Of the 100 witnesses 6 testified against the defendant at trial. There was no drug contraband evidence aka no seized drug evidence. The testimony of those 6 witnesses put the defendant away for a 15 years sentence. This was from a 1982 case.

The only thing you will see is more fake news and more democrat lying and cheating, while you nod in approval.

I'm also hearing more and more talk about RICO

And just think...you used to “hear talk” about Russia. Until that fizzled.

By “hear talk” he means the media elites told him.

I'm sure they'll find a crime to go with the punishment they want, if they get enough time.

So, you don't trust law enforcement to do their job? You believe investigators are not objective? Are you Paranoid?

When did Mueller's report come out? I guess I missed that.

Well, it sure looks like they got the right man for the job.

When it became obvious that Mueller hasn't come up with the goods. Now, Congressional Democrats are creating NEW investigations out of whole cloth instead of finding a real legislative agenda that would help Americans. So, they'll lose the gains of 2018 and dumbbutt Trump will get re-elected in 2020.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

The Democrats are insane with hate.
The Voters are going to reject them even worse in 2020.

You pinned all your hopes on Mueller, and he failed. So you tried Cohen the Clown appearing live at the Dem's Circus, and he failed - miserably. So you try yet again, same song third verse, same results. Makes you wonder why the Dems don't do what they REALLY want...

Please provide "credible" proof that Mueller has failed. Have you seen his final report?

 

[Lakhota]

Democrats should ignore Trump and his supporters screaming and whining about witch hunts and presidential harassment - and just follow the facts where they lead. Just like with Nixon - the public needs educated about Trump. Follow the facts!

Schiff and other Dems are now fearing they too will be investigated for their failed coup attempt. This means they are desperate to change the narrative.
