Giuliani: Enough Evidence Now For RICO Case Against Clinton Foundation
2016-11-01
[Real Clear Politics] Saturday evening on Fox News Channel's 'Justice with Jeanine Pirro' former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani suggested that a grand jury already has enough evidence, from WikiLeaks and the FBI, to charge "Clinton Incorporated" with racketeering under the RICO laws that were originally designed to go after the mafia.

"I was shocked, back in July," Giuliani said about FBI Director James Comey's recommendation against charges for Clinton. "He laid out almost a prosecutorial memo and then came to a conclusion that he shouldn't come to--that the Justice Department should--that she shouldn't be indicted."

"A special prosecutor should be appointed. A special prosecutor --a non-Republican, non-Democrat-- should redo this whole investigation. And Obama should be requred to promise he is not going to pardon any of these Clinton Incorporated-- I think it's a racketeering enterprise honestly," he said.

"I have a whole bunch of statutes they've violated," he said. "This is racketeering. This is a RICO statute--Clinton, Inc. I think it was one of the WikiLeaks that said this was 'Clinton Inc.' He does the speeches, they put the money in the pocket, she does the favors in the government. It all links up. Why did they destroy 33,000 emails? Because it shows the link."

"Whatever caused this [FBI announcement] is something very serious," he concluded.

#9  If we had an Attorney General that had any integrity there would already be grand juries for all of these cases, with proecutors assigned to them. Obama is running the most crooked and corrupt Justice Department in recent history.

#8  All the heads of all the federal agencies, the DNC, the cabinet members, leaders of the congress and the president all need to be brought up on RICO charges. Along with some RINOs.

#7  Prominence isn't a required skill-set. Don't see anywhere where I listed it.

#4  Well, that leaves out the Russians and Saudis, so maybe the Swiss? the Finns? Otherwise it'll be look looking for 3 wise men and a virgin there.

#2  Giuliani, Gowdy, Chaffetz or Christie could be a special prosecutor. However, the job is kind of a dead-end. SPs are not well-liked--kind of like Internal Affairs cops or tire-biter prosecutors--people are reluctant to co-operate with them.

#1  I see a potential future as a special prosecutor for someone.
