Rstanley0312 1 #1552 August 3, 2016 billvon>Trump is fucked! Not at all! If he wins he can pardon himself. I don't think the POTUS can pardon himself in a civil case. Then again, the corruption in our government may make it possible.Life is all about ass....either you're kicking it, kissing it, working it off, or trying to get a piece of it.

DanG 1 #1553 August 3, 2016 That reminds me of a joke: 2016: "Donald Trump can't do that as a candidate, can he?" 2017: "President Trump can't do that, can he?" 2018: "Are you watching the Hunger Games tonight? I hope my district wins." - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trump, on the other hand, is facing trial for fraud. "Delay, delay, delay. The fix is in, bla bla. Its political, the DA is corrupt." aka trump. If necessary settle out of court. This election still has 98 days to go ... yikes. Who knew US politics could be so interesting. "Donald Trump's campaign says it raised $80 million in July to support his bid as well as the Republican Party. The numbers mark a significant upswing since May, when Trump was badly outraised by Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. He now has $37 million cash-on-hand. Clinton raised $63 million in July for her campaign, as well as $26 million for the Democratic National Committee and state parties, bringing her total monthly fundraising to about $90 million. Trump's $80 million includes approximately $64 million raised through digital and direct mail operations, the campaign says." http://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2016-08-03/the-latest-trump-claims-unity-in-his-campaign Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw something about it earlier today; here is what I found now with a quick search: http://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2016/06/donald-trump-racketeering-claim-trump-university-224517 http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/6/4/1534546/-Trump-In-Court-Over-RICO-Charges "Cohen, on the other hand, targets Trump through a provision of the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, more commonly known as the RICO Act—the same statute federal prosecutors use to bring down mob bosses."

ryoder 1,590 #1565 August 4, 2016 RICO contains provisions both for criminal charges, and for civli suits. I'm not reading anything about criminal charges being filed."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.
