Far-left Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez opted into a fight with Harvard Law School graduate Ted Cruz regarding her declaration that "RICO is not a crime." AOC made that statement during the questioning of a witness in this week's House impeachment hearing.
"You asked me to answer the question. I answered the question. RICO, you're obviously not familiar with. Corruption statutes. FARA," Bobulinski said.
"RICO. Is not. A Crime," AOC shot back animatedly.
"Wrong!" she wrote on X. "RICO is a statute under which specific crimes may be considered - kidnapping, robbery, arson, etc." "You need to name the crimes in order to substantiate RICO," AOC continued.
"So since you're the expert, what RICO crimes and evidence does House GOP have? Since they don't seem to know." Immediately Dragged You can almost feel the pride coming off that post on X. No doubt AOC made her point about RICO, gave a triumphant tap of the mouse to post it, and likely re-laminated her economics degree from Boston University.
Robert Barnes, a high-profile trial lawyer answered her question: "Predicate acts under RICO by Biden crime family include wire fraud & money laundering." In federal law, predicate acts are themselves crimes which are components of a larger crime.
AOC once had to argue about a tip left for her when she was a bartender and thinks RICO was a song by Gerardo from the '90s.
