WEBVTT

00:04.872 --> 00:06.873
>>> DONALD TRUMP WAS JUST

00:06.874 --> 00:08.031
>>> DONALD TRUMP WAS JUST

00:08.042 --> 00:10.376
INDICTED IN A RICO CASE.

00:10.411 --> 00:13.489
THIS IS A WILD TURN OF EVENTS.

00:13.490 --> 00:17.194
IT IS ONE THAT HAD IT BEEN THE

00:17.195 --> 00:19.989
FIRST CHARGES WOULD HAVE FELT

00:19.991 --> 00:21.594
EVERYONE LARGE, BUT IT’S THE

00:21.595 --> 00:21.866
FOURTH.

00:21.877 --> 00:23.803
WE HAVE OUR FIRST SPECIAL REPORT

00:23.837 --> 00:26.505
ON RICO.

00:26.516 --> 00:31.161
A LAW TO TARGET SPECIFIC

00:31.172 --> 00:35.847
PROBLEMS WITH THE MAFIA.

00:35.882 --> 00:40.030
HERE IS ONE WAY TO UNDERSTAND IT

00:40.031 --> 00:44.592
AS EXPLAINED IN THE CLASSIC FILM

00:44.603 --> 00:46.063
"THE DARK KNIGHT."

00:46.098 --> 00:48.033
>> I’M GOOD WITH CALCULATION.

00:48.044 --> 00:49.150
I HANDLE ALL THE INVESTMENTS.

00:49.152 --> 00:49.639
ONE BIG PART.

00:49.640 --> 00:51.549
>> GOT IT.

00:51.560 --> 00:55.072
>> ONE MINUTE.

00:55.083 --> 00:56.246
>> RICO.

00:56.280 --> 00:58.679
THEY POOL THEIR MONEY WE CAN

00:58.690 --> 01:00.170
CHARGE THEM ALL AS ONE CRIMINAL

01:00.171 --> 01:00.663
CONSPIRACY.

01:00.674 --> 01:04.373
>> CHARGE THEM WITH WHAT?

01:04.375 --> 01:07.327
>> IN A RICO CASE IF YOU CAN

01:07.329 --> 01:08.844
CHARGE ONE YOU CAN CHARGE --

01:08.855 --> 01:09.681
>> THEM ALL.

01:09.692 --> 01:10.540
GOT IT.

01:10.551 --> 01:12.743
>> THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN HOW

01:12.777 --> 01:14.340
MANY CRIMINAL STATUTES WORK.

01:14.342 --> 01:16.323
IT STARTED AS A FEDERAL LAW, AND

01:16.334 --> 01:17.945
NOW DIFFERENT STATES HAVE THEIR

01:17.956 --> 01:18.645
OWN VERSIONS.

01:18.679 --> 01:20.124
WHAT I’M ABOUT TO WALK YOU

01:20.126 --> 01:22.489
THROUGH IS WHY DONALD TRUMP IS

01:22.500 --> 01:25.550
MORE LIKELY TO END UP IN AN

01:25.585 --> 01:26.593
UNPARDONABLE, UNREVIEWABLE

01:26.594 --> 01:29.414
PRISON SENTENCE THAN HE WAS

01:29.425 --> 01:30.190
YESTERDAY MORNING.

01:30.201 --> 01:32.034
THE LAW WAS FIRST DESIGNED TO GO

01:32.068 --> 01:34.384
AFTER THE MAFIA.

01:34.385 --> 01:36.096
OVER THE DECADES PROSECUTORS

01:36.107 --> 01:38.768
EXPANDED IT AS A POWERFUL TOOL

01:38.802 --> 01:39.928
FOR ANY ENTERPRISE.

01:39.930 --> 01:42.278
HERE’S THE FULTON COUNTY D.A.

01:42.289 --> 01:45.092
LAST NIGHT EXPLAINING ALL OF IT.

01:45.103 --> 01:47.178
>> RATHER THAN ABIDE BY

01:47.212 --> 01:49.237
GEORGIA’S LEGAL PROCESS FOR

01:49.248 --> 01:51.547
ELECTION CHALLENGES, THE

01:51.558 --> 01:55.372
DEFENDANTS ENGAGED IN A CRIMINAL

01:55.407 --> 01:57.704
RACKETEERING ENTERPRISE TO

01:57.705 --> 01:59.116
OVERTURN GEORGIA’S PRESIDENTIAL

01:59.117 --> 02:01.065
ELECTION RESULT.

02:01.076 --> 02:03.690
AS YOU EXAMINE THE INDICTMENT,

02:03.725 --> 02:06.187
YOU WILL SEE ACTS THAT ARE

02:06.198 --> 02:08.819
IDENTIFIED AS OVERT ACTS AND

02:08.854 --> 02:11.138
THOSE THAT ARE IDENTIFIED AS

02:11.149 --> 02:12.862
PREDICATE ACTS, SOMETIMES CALLED

02:12.873 --> 02:14.661
ACTS OF RACKETEERING ACTIVITY.

02:14.663 --> 02:16.027
THE RICO CHARGES HAS TIME THAT

02:16.062 --> 02:20.192
YOU HAVE TO SERVE, SO IT’S NOT A

02:20.193 --> 02:21.257
PROBATED SENTENCE.

02:21.268 --> 02:23.465
>> SHE KNOWS THE LAW.

02:23.476 --> 02:25.684
THE DEFENDANTS BETTER LEARN IT.

02:25.695 --> 02:28.183
SOME OF THEM MAY HAVE REASON TO

02:28.218 --> 02:31.271
NEED TO KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF A

02:31.272 --> 02:32.413
RICO CASE, BECAUSE IT’S VERY,

02:32.424 --> 02:33.539
VERY HARD.

02:33.572 --> 02:36.890
AS YOU HEARD THE D.A. LAY OUT

02:36.901 --> 02:38.622
THERE JUST THE ACTUAL LAW, AND

02:38.623 --> 02:40.834
THIS IS HOW IT WORKS, AND IN

02:40.845 --> 02:44.571
GEORGIA IT’S THE KIND OF CASE

02:44.572 --> 02:47.160
SHE SAYS DOES NOT ALLOW FOR

02:47.171 --> 02:48.743
NONPRISON PROBATION SENTENCES IF

02:48.744 --> 02:49.554
YOU’RE CONVICTED.

02:49.565 --> 02:51.961
I WANT TO SHOW YOU AN UPDATE TO

02:51.972 --> 02:53.291
A CHART WE HAVE SHOWN BEFORE.

02:53.292 --> 02:56.108
THIS IS NOW GEORGIA SPECIFIC.

02:56.142 --> 02:58.889
WHAT YOU SEE ARE THE ARROWS OF

02:58.900 --> 03:00.955
DIFFERENT PLOTS AND AS OF LAST

03:00.990 --> 03:02.703
NIGHT, THE RED ONES HAVE BEEN

03:02.705 --> 03:04.348
INDICTED IN GEORGIA, AND THE

03:04.359 --> 03:05.866
BOTTOM FEW ARE DIFFERENT THAN

03:05.901 --> 03:07.463
SOME OF THE PLOTS WE’VE SHOWN IN

03:07.474 --> 03:10.008
THE NATIONAL DOJ CASE.

03:10.010 --> 03:13.158
YOU SEE THE POLL WORKER CASE THA

03:13.169 --> 03:14.496
SAW IN DARK KNIGHT, HITS

03:14.531 --> 03:15.065
EVERYONE.

03:15.076 --> 03:17.022
THOSE MANDATORY MINIMUMS START

03:17.033 --> 03:18.313
AT FIVE YEARS.

03:18.314 --> 03:20.326
THIS INDICTMENT AND CHARGES

03:20.328 --> 03:24.366
COULD BE THE TOUGHEST FOR TRUMP

03:24.367 --> 03:26.291
TO DATE.

03:26.292 --> 03:29.708
>> 71 PAGES, 161 SEPARATE ACTS

03:29.719 --> 03:31.505
ALL DESCRIBED AS THE CONSTITUENT

03:31.516 --> 03:33.235
ELEMENTS OF THAT RICO CHARGE.

03:33.246 --> 03:35.098
>> D.A. WILLIS IS PURSUING A

03:35.109 --> 03:36.147
RICO CASE AGAINST THE FORMER

03:36.182 --> 03:36.493
PRESIDENT.

03:36.494 --> 03:38.293
>> YOU DON’T WANT TO JUST LOOK

03:38.304 --> 03:39.705
AT THE VERY TOP.

03:39.739 --> 03:41.695
>> REMEMBER RICO REALLY IS JUST

03:41.706 --> 03:42.992
BEING ABLE TO TALK ABOUT

03:43.003 --> 03:44.470
EVERYBODY’S DIRTY LAUNDRY.

03:44.472 --> 03:46.028
>> THE RICO STATUTES WERE

03:46.062 --> 03:47.764
DESIGNED FOR THE MOB, BUT THEY

03:47.775 --> 03:48.780
HAVE BEEN USED FAR BEYOND THE

03:48.814 --> 03:49.308
MOB.

03:49.319 --> 03:52.018
>> THE RICO CHARGE, WHICH SEEMS

03:52.053 --> 03:56.157
SO POWERFUL AND POTENT HERE, AND

03:56.168 --> 03:57.885
FOR DONALD TRUMP, PERILOUS.

03:57.896 --> 04:00.357
>> IT HAS BEEN SUCH FOR OTHER

04:00.358 --> 04:01.379
RICO DEFENDANTS.

04:01.380 --> 04:04.557
THIS D.A. HAS USED THESE RAKE

04:04.591 --> 04:08.066
TEARING LAWS FOR PROSECUTIONS OF

04:08.077 --> 04:10.192
GANG RELATED ACTIVITY AND PEOPLE

04:10.203 --> 04:12.685
IN COMPLETELY OTHER PROFESSIONS.

04:12.719 --> 04:16.377
YOU HAVE TO GO BACK, BECAUSE THE

04:16.388 --> 04:19.018
FEDS STRUGGLED TO DEAL WITH THE

04:19.052 --> 04:21.561
GROUP AND RACKETEERING RELATED

04:21.572 --> 04:23.501
PROBLEMS OF ORGANIZED CRIME.

04:23.512 --> 04:27.248
IF YOU GO BACK DECADES, AMERICA

04:27.282 --> 04:29.236
HAD A REAL MAFIA PROBLEM.

04:29.238 --> 04:31.807
IT HAD TO DEAL WITH THE WAY

04:31.808 --> 04:33.180
DIFFERENT MOBSTERS AND GANGSTERS

04:33.181 --> 04:34.734
NOT ONLY OPERATED BUT HOW THEY

04:34.735 --> 04:36.433
MANAGED TO KEEP A DISTANCE FROM

04:36.444 --> 04:37.597
THE UNDERLYING CRIMES, MEANING

04:37.608 --> 04:39.533
YOU COULD GET THIS THING OVER

04:39.544 --> 04:40.861
HERE OR MONEY LAUNDERING OVER

04:40.895 --> 04:42.323
THERE OR ONE OR TWO PEOPLE BUT

04:42.334 --> 04:44.626
IT WAS HARD TO GET THEM ALL.

04:44.637 --> 04:46.778
THIS GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO

04:46.789 --> 04:48.219
THE ’50s WHEN THEN ROBERT

04:48.253 --> 04:49.157
KENNEDY WAS LEADING THE

04:49.168 --> 04:50.315
CONGRESSIONAL EFFORT TO FIGURE

04:50.326 --> 04:51.584
OUT HOW THEY COULD BETTER TACKLE

04:51.618 --> 04:52.927
THOSE PROBLEMS.

04:52.928 --> 04:54.625
WE HAVE THIS OLD FOOTAGE,

04:54.636 --> 04:57.213
CONSIDER WE DUG THIS UP FROM A

04:57.214 --> 04:58.885
GOVERNMENT HEARING OVER 70 YEARS

04:58.896 --> 05:01.002
AGO, SOIT’S NOT PERFECT VIDEO.

05:01.013 --> 05:03.253
IF YOU LISTEN CLOSELY, YOU’LL

05:03.254 --> 05:04.965
START TO UNDERSTAND WHY THEY

05:04.976 --> 05:07.977
DEVELOPED THESE LAWS TO DO WHAT

05:07.978 --> 05:09.193
WITNESSES AND OTHERS WERE

05:09.227 --> 05:09.680
RESISTING.

05:09.691 --> 05:12.862
>> DURING THIS PERIOD OF YOUR

05:12.863 --> 05:15.495
CLOSE FRIENDSHIP, HE HIRED BENNY

05:15.496 --> 05:18.099
THE BUG ROSS.

05:18.110 --> 05:21.588
HE HIRES A LIQUOR BOOTLEGER, HE

05:21.623 --> 05:23.114
GOT A CHARTER.

05:23.125 --> 05:27.018
>> I CANNOT REMEMBER WHETHER HE

05:27.052 --> 05:29.487
WAS OR NOT, AS I SAID.

05:29.488 --> 05:30.665
I JUST DON’T RECALL.

05:30.666 --> 05:31.991
>> CAN’T REMEMBER WHAT YOU

05:32.002 --> 05:33.193
TALKED ABOUT AND CAN’T REMEMBER

05:33.194 --> 05:34.371
WHETHER HE WAS THERE?

05:34.382 --> 05:36.064
>> I CAN’T REMEMBER ANYTHING OF

05:36.075 --> 05:37.074
ANY IMPORTANCE, MR. KENNEDY.

05:37.108 --> 05:39.294
I CAN’T RECALL IT.

05:39.305 --> 05:41.531
>> THAT WAS THE DODGING,

05:41.542 --> 05:43.218
CONGRESS PUNCHED BACK.

05:43.229 --> 05:45.202
BY 1970, THEY PASSED THIS RICO

05:45.203 --> 05:47.672
LAW AS A WAY TO GO AFTER ALL OF

05:47.673 --> 05:48.480
THE MOBSTERS TOGETHER.

05:48.481 --> 05:49.972
EVERYONE’S CRIME IS SHARED.

05:49.983 --> 05:51.976
THIS IS A BROAD LAW.

05:51.987 --> 05:53.663
NOW, SOME ARGUE THAT WHEN YOU

05:53.674 --> 05:55.571
FISH WITH TOO BIG A NET, YOU

05:55.582 --> 05:56.391
RISK GETTING TANGLED UP

05:56.426 --> 05:56.950
YOURSELF.

05:56.951 --> 05:59.460
AND THERE MAY BE WAYS RICO

05:59.461 --> 06:01.101
PROSECUTIONS CAN BE UNWIELDY,

06:01.102 --> 06:03.350
BUT IT ALSO HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE

06:03.352 --> 06:04.333
AGAINST CRIME FAMILIES AS

06:04.344 --> 06:04.962
MENTIONED.

06:04.963 --> 06:08.348
IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER SS, IT

06:08.382 --> 06:09.954
WAS USED AGAINST 24 DIFFERENT

06:09.955 --> 06:11.564
MAFIA FAMILIES AND CONSIDERED A

06:11.565 --> 06:13.275
STRONG NEW WEAPON, CONVICTING

06:13.276 --> 06:14.519
PEOPLE LIKE GAMBINO BOSS JOHN

06:14.521 --> 06:15.193
GOTTI.

06:15.194 --> 06:17.716
THIS DA IS NOT THE FIRST

06:17.727 --> 06:19.338
PROSECUTOR TO TAKE THESE TOOLS

06:19.372 --> 06:20.662
WELL BEYOND THE MOB.

06:20.673 --> 06:22.434
THEN THERE ARE SOME PRETTY

06:22.445 --> 06:24.841
FAMOUS PROSECUTORS WHO TOUTED

06:24.852 --> 06:27.391
RICO AS THE WAY TO SOLVE CRIME.

06:27.402 --> 06:29.413
>> I DO THINK THAT THE WORK IN

06:29.447 --> 06:31.263
MY OFFICE AND OTHER PARTS OF THE

06:31.274 --> 06:32.219
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS CHANGED

06:32.254 --> 06:33.238
THE DEFINITION OF THE PROBLEM OF

06:33.249 --> 06:34.056
CRIME IN AMERICA.

06:34.090 --> 06:35.909
>> WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO ATTACK

06:35.920 --> 06:37.293
IT AS A BUSINESS, NOT JUST AS

06:37.304 --> 06:38.102
INDIVIDUAL CRIME.

06:38.137 --> 06:39.843
>> WE HAVE FOLLOWED UP WITH

06:39.844 --> 06:40.856
CIVIL RICO CASES.

06:40.858 --> 06:43.020
THERE WILL BE SOME POINT IN THE

06:43.031 --> 06:44.549
FUTURE IN WHICH WE’LL DESTROY

06:44.583 --> 06:46.257
THE POWER OF THE MAFIA.

06:46.268 --> 06:48.275
>> THEN PROSECUTOR RUDY GIULIANI

06:48.276 --> 06:49.664
SAYING RICO IS HOW YOU DESTROY

06:49.665 --> 06:49.949
CRIME.

06:49.983 --> 06:52.223
HERE WE ARE, AND WE CAN REPORT

06:52.224 --> 06:54.335
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, THAT

06:54.346 --> 06:56.239
SAME PROSECUTOR, THAT FORMER

06:56.241 --> 06:58.121
PROSECUTOR RUDY GIULIANI, WHO

06:58.121 --> 07:00.805
RICO, IF YOU FOLLOW THE NEWS, IN

07:00.806 --> 07:02.840
THESE LAST SORT OF 16, 18 HOURS

07:02.851 --> 07:04.670
BECAUSE WE JUST SHOWED THIS LAW

07:04.681 --> 07:08.960
THAT WAS BUILT TO GO AFTER

07:08.971 --> 07:10.979
ELUSIVE GANGSTERS AND MAFIOSOS

07:10.980 --> 07:12.901
THAT RUDY GIULIANI ONCE TOUTED,

07:12.912 --> 07:15.638
IS NOW BEING USED AGAINST RUDY
