"It's never RICO" is basically the lawsplainer version of house's '"it's never lupus'".
When you think about it, its really a demented fun house mirror. Trump sought desperately to find evidence of nefarious voter fraud to overturn the election and couldn't, because it didn't exist. There was no beef. He tried and tried and turned up nothing. Democrats sought desperately to find evidence of nefarious collusion between Trump and Russia, of tax cheating, of a riot conspiracy, of whatever the ukrainian led impeachment nonsense was. And couldn't. There was no beef. They tried and tried and turned up nothing.
So I guess what democrats are doing are a bit like if Trump had clung to power, refused to leave the white house and ordered the national guard to detain the democrats in congress as the despotic tyrant they always accused him of being. But he didn't. He told everyone to go home in peace. Democrats meanwhile keep racking up a body count of murdered Trump supporters.
This kind of aggressive game theory makes me figure that if Joe Biden is put into a nuclear brinksmanship scenario, he'll shoot first, even if we're not even at the edge.
#1 lawyer advice, shut. the. fuck. up.
trump and his team were incapable of that.
constantly claiming SPECIFIC officials and voting companies were corrupt, lying, burying evidence, conspiring against democracy, etc.
the claims, as you said based on ZERO evidence, were so wide ranging that it built the case for the prosecution.
now it's a case of who will turn on who, classic mafia prosecution. bring in everyone and see who buries who.
Powell, Guiliani, etc were all directly an agent legally for Trump, and their action he's likely liable for to some degree unless they wen't completely rogue.
and on a 4d chess level this case isn't design to sink trump, it's to sink the election fraud narrative. trump used the cases being tossed due to lack of evidence to further the deepstate narrative, instead the deepstate will bring him to court to expose just how little they had.
