1. Within the law? Armed revolutions sometimes work, but with all

the mob-control high techitry the gummint has at its disposal, I don't know that that's an option.

3. I was looking at these juicy parts of the RICO law and...

Snip...

"(relating to embezzlement from pension and welfare funds), sections 891–894 (relating to extortionate credit transactions), section 1028 (relating to fraud and related activity in connection with identification documents), section 1029 (relating to fraud and related activity in connection with access devices), section 1084 (relating to the transmission of gambling information), section 1341 (relating to mail fraud), section 1343 (relating to wire fraud), section 1344 (relating to financial institution fraud)"

2. I posted the exact same thing last night on GD..

and I keep thinking about the scene in "The Firm" where Tom Cruise's character lectures the FBI agent about how he got every member of his firm on multiple counts of mail fraud and how tough the statutes where. I sure hope to hell that they are going after these guys under RICO, wire fraud, mail fraud, securities fraud, etc., etc. but I have little faith they are.

4. If they don't go after the criminals THEY are part of the mob.

5. I would like Rachel Maddow to ask Turley that question.

Let's all send her this ......ask her to have Turley discuss it.

That's a good idea.
