Trump would serve a Minimum Jail Term of Ffive years, if found Guilty under Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, as part of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' (D) Election Interference Investigation, a Legal Expert has said.
Elie Honig, a former Federal Prosecutor and CNN's Legal Analyst, was discussing how Trump many of His allies may soon face Criminal Charges.
There has long been speculation that Willis will use the State's RICO Charges in Her Case, a Statute commonly used in Organized Crime Cases, that allows Prosecutors to Charge Multiple People with separate Offenses while working towards a common Goal.
It is believed that Willis will present Evidence to a Grand Jury and ask them to bring forward an Indictment, in Her Investigation of Trump and Others by Tuesday, August 15th, 2024. Trump has long Denied any Wrongdoing in Connection to Willis' Probe, and Accused it of being a Politically motivated "witch hunt."
The Probe has since widened significantly: it is looking into Allegations that Trump and several other Members of His Inner Circle, plotted to send a Group of Fake Electors to Falsely claim that Trump had Won the State in 2020, as well as claims of Intimidation of Election Workers and alleged Attempts to access Voting Machine Data.
Generally speaking, under RICO Laws, Prosecutors have to show Two Things: First, the existence of what we call a Racketeering Enterprise, meaning a Group, that doesn't have to have an Official Name, but a Group that gets together in order to do the Second thing, which is Commit a Pattern of Racketeering, which means Two or more Crimes for some sort of common Purpose.
So we'll see if Prosecutors are able to fit Trump and His Organization into that Legal Definition. Sometimes Groups do, they're called such and such Gang or the such and such Organization, but it also can be a Group that is an Informal Association, just People working Together for a Common Purpose.
It is unclear exactly Who may also face Charges alongside Trump, if an Indictment against Trump happens.
Previously, a Special Grand Jury that spent months hearing Evidence and Witnesses' Testimonies as part of Willis' Probe, suggested that it would Recommend that Charges be brought forward for several People in the Investigation, without naming Individuals.
In May, it was reported that Eight of the 16 People who were under Investigation over an alleged Fake Electoral Plot in Georgia, have been granted Immunity.
