The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Well, former president Trump is officially accused of being the head of a criminal organization. Trump was charged with 13 counts in the indictment.

Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Ken Chesebro, Jeff Clark, Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, a couple of Trump campaign staffers, and a bunch of Georgia state defendants were indicted on RICO and other charges.

The indictment laid out eight ways the "enterprise" obstructed the election: by lying to the Georgia state legislature, by lying to state officials, by creating fake pro-Trump electors, by harassing election workers, by soliciting Justice Department officials, by soliciting Vice President Mike Pence, by breaching voting machines and by engaging in a cover up.

The racketeering case extends to conduct in Michigan, Arizona and Pennsylvania as overt acts in furtherance of a conspiracy.


The Trump Counts:

Count 1: Violation of the Georgia RICO Act

Count 5: Solicitation of Violation of Oath by Public Officer

Count 9: Conspiracy to Commit Impersonating a Public Officer

Count 11: Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree

Count 13: Conspiracy to Commit False Statements and Writings

Count 15: Conspiracy to Commit False Filing False Documents

Count 17: Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree

Count 19: Conspiracy to Commit False Statements and Writings

Count 27: Filing False Documents

Count 28: Solicitation of Violation of Oath by Public Officer

Count 29: False Statements and Writings

Count 38: Solicitation of Violation of Oath by Public Officer

Count 39: False Statements and Writings
