Donald Trump and 18 allies have been indicted in Georgia over efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state.
We hit the Superfecta! This one is big. DA WIllis is charging this as a criminal conspiracy and prosecuting Trump and his 18 co-conspirators as a *group*.
Here's the TLDR version: The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) was created to go after the mafia. The bosses would always escape prosecution because they relied on henchman to do the actual dirty work. So RICO looks at the whole thing as one big crime and thus *anyone* involved has committed a crime even if they didn't metaphorically "pull the trigger".
In this particular case, we're calling the attempt to overturn the election results the main conspiracy. The indictment says this conspiracy involved 161 (!!) individual criminal acts - But it is all part of the same Conspiracy Stew. It's a concerted effort by a large group of people, engaging in a myriad of activities that taken alone might not be a major crime, but when you put them all together, they add up to a serious offense. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
