Could RICO Afford a Key to End Trump's Criminal Enterprise?

The Giuliani interviews harkened back to a statement made earlier by Donald Trump at a news conference. The Republican presidential nominee was responding to a question relating to possible email hacking of Democratic Party campaign operatives by the Russian Government headed by President Vladimir Putin. Trump's response was that he hoped that alleged hacking incidents would continue.

Trump's response set off an immediate media firestorm within America and beyond. Analysts asked aloud if Trump was indeed advocating that a foreign government intervene in cyberspace to influence a U.S. presidential election. The parade of designated Trump paid toadies rushed onto the scene to "explain" that the Republican nominee was exercising his sense of humor and that the comment had been made in jest. A viewing of the incident in question displays anything but a humorous demeanor from Trump, whose expression and icy tone revealed hate and anger rather than someone delivering a joke.

The aforementioned events prompt attention to be devoted to Trump's unwillingness, as opposed to other recent presidential nominees of both major parties, to release his federal income tax returns. A concerned response was registered from both within and outside of political circles that Trump feared that such a disclosure would reveal a long and consistent pattern of tax avoidance.

While such concern was augmented by independent investigations that demonstrated such a long and consistent pattern, what has been heretofore ignored is another frightening possibility as to why Trump refused to release tax information. This involves the perhaps staggering and extensive activities in which Trump's American activities interlinked with foreign activity, or based on what appeared to lead investigators on a trail of interlocking international activity.

An example of such aforementioned activity can be conjectured based on how Rudolph Guiliani, Hillary Clinton's vigilant email critic, has been operating in the private sector as a practicing attorney and consultant. Giuliani not only has been busy on the international client front; it has been recently reported that foreign law firms with which he has done business included Saddam Hussein, Hugo Chavez and Abu Nidal. Is this the type of activity Trump has been citing in his quest to make America great again? Guiliani told Blitzer that he would not take the Fifth Amendment before legal tribunals while pointing the finger elsewhere. Would he in similar circumstances waive the attorney-client privilege?

While so much attention has been devoted to activity on American soil during the recently concluded election, it is time to shift the focus to an ever expanding colossus on the global scene. Occupying a major element in that picture is professional international cyber hacker Julian Assange. He has been vigorously involved in the hacking of Democratic political operatives.

An interesting name from the past that has surged to the fore with impish vengeance is Roger Stone, a proud and unapologetic Republican dirty trickster who began his career under none other than Richard Nixon, the nation's only president to resign after being handed the sword by Senator Barry Goldwater of his own party. Stone in his more veteran trickster days engineered the Brooks Brothers Riot in permanently disrupting the vote count at Dade County Courthouse in Miami, Stone's home territory. Stone, who remains prideful of his profession and his sundry activities, has openly stated his recent liaising with Julian Assange.

Trump would be expected to feel increasingly nervous as he prepares to take office in January over revealed connections involving himself and his campaign alongside Julian Assange's WikiLeaks contingent and the Russian Government headed by Vladimir Putin, a foreign leader of whom he has spoken highly. It would be understandable for Assange's legal team to seek assistance from Trump to improve their client's current situation as he remains ensconced in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
