The Racketeering and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act is a federal law that is designed to combat organized crime. Â It was first used to prosecute the Mafia but its later application has been more widespread and includes political obstruction of justice, fraud and general racketeering.
In a just-released videotape, James O’Keefe of Project Veritas, captured the comments of Scott Foval, the National Field Director at Americans United for Change.  In this videotape, Mr. Foval admits to creating conflict and promoting anarchy at the Trump for President Rallies.  Significantly, Foval states that these activities were coordinated with the Presidential Campaign of Hillary Clinton and the Democrat National Committee on a regular if not daily basis.
Under normal circumstances, Mr. Foval’s comments might be dismissed as political exaggeration.  The problem is that the facts back up his admission of violence.  There have been attacks on attendees at Trump rallies, attacks on individuals wearing Trump paraphernalia, attacks on the cars and other property of Trump supporters, and most recently the bombing of a GOP HQ in North Carolina (which is under criminal investigation at this time).  These attacks go beyond the mere theft of campaign signs; they are violent attacks designed to intimidate voters and to blame the disorder created on Trump.  Per Foval’s own statements, ethics and law don’t matter, a winning end justifies the use of any and all means.
Although Democrats are screaming foul, and trying to deflect the blame, the fact is that they have been caught in a vise of their own making.  If we believe Foval’s video, then he is admitting to criminal behavior that is coordinated with and by the Clinton Campaign and the Democrat National Committee. Unfortunately, it is doubtful that a federal investigation will take place. Â
Nevertheless, the Congress and the several States do have a role to play in upholding the rule of law.  They can hold emergency sessions to address what is an ongoing criminal assault on the American political system.
RICO has handled political corruption cases before. Â The question is can it handle criminal collusion aimed at undermining the American Constitution, the freedoms and rights of the American people, and the American presidency?

Okay . . . because confession is good for the soul, I’ll confess: We Democrats are stuffing ballot boxes right and left. Here are the details.
I’m responsible for stuffing ballot boxes in Indiana.
You Trumpsters have figured out the plot: We Democrats will load up buses with
illegal immigrants who will pose as registered dead people voters. Setting this up was a real trick because we had to match up all the death notices of the1.8
million dead people with registered voter datbases, get the lists of
names, match up the illegals with the list of names they are
supposed to use at the different polling places and get them assigned in
groups to the buses that will hit those polling places.
Now, I figure we can fit them on school
buses, two to a seat, which works out to be 72 per bus, tops.
We are planning to give them one hour per poll to unload, vote, get back on the bus,
and go to the next poll. This way, each bus can hit, say, a dozen polling
places.
So, for each busload, we get 864 votes.
Now, the margin between Romney and Obama in Indiana was over 267,000 votes, which will require 309 buses to break even.
So, my problem boils down to this: Where will all these buses be
chartered, who is driving them, and can I trust them to keep our secret?
Do any of you republicans know anyone in the bus charter business in Indiana? Can you tell me if they will be able to keep their mouths shut?
What brand of aluminum foil do you use to make your hats?
Slavery is just so much fun. People tell you exactly what to do and then kill you if you don’t do it. At least that is the history of the 20th century.
It was worth it to unblock you to see this stupid comment. FYI: My parents told me what to do and yet didn’t kill me.
And yet you say my comment is stupid. If I read you correctly, government is now your parental,figure.
The world is not surprised to find out that you read me incorrectly. Away you go again.
What does that mean Bruce?
Seriously?
Yes, seriously.
Who do you find to be crazy enough that you would accuse them of wearing a tin foil hat, and why?
Why don’t you just make a coherent statement, instead of whipping out an over used colloquialism that doesn’t explain what you mean?
He is a provacatur. He has nothing to say that amounts to a coherent though. A perfect useful idiot for the socialist left.
This piece of crazy horsecrap sticks out…
Exactly what can they do in “emergency sessions” to prevent this “ongoing criminal assault (that really isn’t much of an assault)”?
They can empower the State attorney general to prosecute these democrat party thugs if any of their activities involved violence in their State. You apparently believe the States are powerless – they aren’t.
There’s already laws on the books for that, you nutball.
Then why is Herring not using them? Some of the criminal behavior occurred in Virginia and conspiracy to commit violence was involved in it. By the way, please go back to blocking me. Your inability to think beyond the immediate is really boring.
Because it’s a local issue, and not at the state level.
If Fovall and Creamer don’t at least get a grand jury investigation in one of the states they have been active we may as well quit bothering to vote.
This is no longer about Party. It is a movement about the People’s sacred right to retain their soveriegnty. We face cruelty, corruption and criminality, yet we must and will prevail.
NEED people to be poll watchers on election day.
Done. And I suggest you look at the latest Project Veritas videos that implicate Hillary directly in a criminal conspiracy.
Democrats don’t prosecute other Democrats for election fraud. Eric Holder corrupted the DOJ, very early in Obama’s first term, refusing to prosecute the Black Panthers for blatant voter intimidation. J Christian Adams, the federal prosecutor, resigned in protest. Since then it has been open season for election fraud. Even the IRS has been allowed to attack Republicans with zero consequences. These videos will simply be ignored by the corrupt DOJ and the media.
But not ignored by the voters.
Our current state of corruption has all been accurately documented in large distribution mass media print and electronic. The audit trail of Wikileaks emails and documents in the tens of thousands laying out in the Progressive Democrat’s own words their efforts has been brought to light. Vote corruption and fraud, organized violence against supporters of the opposing nominee, foreign cash campaign pay for play infusions into the Clinton campaign election cycle, and the whole massive international financial kick back scheme at the base of the Clinton Foundation has been documented.
The enrichment of the Clinton’s themselves and their cronies at the expense of the nation and the citizenship has been thoroughly exposed yet not only is the perpetrator of these well documented crimes just a non indicted individual but is still competitive in the national electoral vote.
Still I believe a significant portion of American voters in large swaths of the voting population across the nation appear more then willing to not only ignore this mountain of evidence regarding gross financial misconduct and what could without a large stretch fall under the heading of crimes of high treason but outright support the perpetrators and condemn those that bring these crimes to light.
Look at the reactions over the past 90 days as these crimes have spilled out into the light of day and then compare those events to the speeches and media output produced by not just Democrats but key Republican leadership and other elected officials regarding unfolding events. News cycles and national leadership in both parties have been more focused on denying Trump the Presidency then the addressing the deep and extremely dangerous rot that has been exposed within our political institutions.
What are there priorities, what are their attitudes regarding these acts if they either can’t or don’t care to look past their personal agendas and face not suppositions but the hard factual reality of the political corruption they are so ardently attempting to ignore? This can’t be simply laid at the feet of the main stream media and it’s openly partisan manipulators spreading spin. This is an open, outright attack on the Republic and the core premises of our constitutional government.
If we lose this battle what will be the long term outcomes for the American people? How will we be living in a Clinton state? Will it be any different substantially then in Vladimir Putin’s post soviet nationalized oligarchy? Many just don’t seem to care and can’t quite grasp that what you have today (freedoms and economic achievements) under this potential brave new world could just as easily be capriciously taken away at whim or ruler prerogative in their brave new future. We know who the proponents of this future are just be constantly on your guard for the layers of quiet enablers that share their end goal out of personal agenda as they in many regards are the most dangerous to our constitutional future..
Simply the best, thank you.
In summary, your article states: “In a just-released videotape, James O’Keefe of Project Veritas,. . . ”
If it’s from James O’Keefe, it’s phony. Looks as though you are not familiar with O’Keefe’s record of convictions. As far as I know, he is still on probation from his last federal conviction.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. The messenger doesn’t matter but the message does – and it is your message.
By the way, it does not surprise me that you justify crime. For all your protestations, the Party end justifies everything you do. You and Hillary make fine companions in the world where America no longer exists.
How did he get those democrats to read his lines on tape? Why did one get ‘fired’ and another a vaca from ‘distraction?’
Are you wearing your partisan hat or your ‘fair and balanced’ electoral official hat now?
Nice Alinsky tactic attempt.
As with the MSM, he wants the message hidden. I checked nbc, cbs, and abc yesterday – not a single story on this situation and very little on Wikileaks. The truth lies with the alt media although I give credit to o’reilley for showing some of this last night.
It is truly horrifying that the Democrats, in order to perpetrate their crimes of violence, recruited the homeless, the mentally handicapped and the berserkers. Is it any wonder that people are buying guns to defend themselves?
I see; ignore the truth that has just smacked you in the face because you dislike the messenger? Let’s see; corrupt Obama Administration brings trumped up charges against O’Keefe because he exposes their corruption, then uses the corrupt DoJ and AG to prosecute him, and you take their side?
Wow!
Do you deny Foval and Creamer said the things they said in the video? Maybe those were just actors?
Did we REALLY go the moon?
Here is another truth. HIllary screams that Trump should never have the nuclear football and then reveals the highly classified nuclear launch time. Remember the 4 minutes? Everybody in DoD knows that this is one of the national secrets that needs to be protected.
Wrong again, Don. If it was “one of the national secrets that needs to be protected”, it wouldn’t have been openly discussed in this article…
http://foreignpolicy.com/2016/08/05/our-nuclear-procedures-are-crazier-than-trump/
Whoops.
Have you actually read this article? It speculates based on modeling. Hillary wasn’t speculating.
Bruce,
If you actually knew anything about protecting classified information, you would know that classified information appears in open source all the time, however that does not make it unclassified.
Personnel who possess or have in the past been read into classified programs, and hold or have held security clearances are bound by Federal law to protect classified information regardless of whether or not it appears in open source, and regardless of whether or not it is marked as classified.
It is also a crime (felony) to confirm the veracity of classified information appearing in open source.
Clinton has committed several felonies involving disclosure and/or exposure of classified information to real or at least potential exploitation by our adversaries.
Are you cool with that Bruce?
Good lord.
That’s what I thought….
Little Known influential man behind Barack Obama and the Democrat Party

Nationally known political consultant, author, and progressive activist, Robert Creamer is a convicted felon. He pleaded guilty to defrauding banks out of 2.3 million dollars in a check-kiting scheme along with violations of federal tax laws. Robert Creamer, lobbyist for ACORN group Illinois Public Action Fund, has been known for such illustrious past times as over a dozen charges of bank fraud to the tune of $2 million among other crimes in which he took a ‘forced vacation’ in prison. While there he wrote a book called “Stand Straight Up,†which follows the Obama Administration’s scare tactic blueprints for pushing through health care exactly!
And,
who is the Governor of Florida?
Rick Scott, but I don’t think he’s part of the corrupt democrat cabal revealed by #projectveritas or Wikileaks. Has he been visiting Obama an average of once every eight days?
To quote Hillary “what difference does it make?”
