AOC Claims RICO is Not a Crime
Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from New York has reiterated her stance that the RICO Act is not a criminal offense.
Bobulinski Testifies against Biden Corruption
Tony Bobulinski, a whistleblower in the Biden Crime Family case, testified before Congress about Joe Biden’s involvement in international influence-peddling alongside Hunter Biden’s former business partners. During the hearing, AOC, a prominent figure in the Democratic Party, pressed Bobulinski to specify the crimes he directly witnessed Joe Biden committing. Bobulinski cited various offenses, including violations of the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), a federal law that carries severe penalties.
AOC’s Controversial Stance on RICO
In a move to defend Joe Biden, AOC controversially asserted that RICO is not a criminal statute despite its clear designation as such. Harvard Law School graduate and Republican Senator Ted Cruz criticized AOC’s statement, emphasizing that RICO is indeed a crime under US law and often results in significant felony convictions. Cruz highlighted AOC’s apparent eagerness to protect Joe Biden despite the legality of RICO.
AOC stood by her position, insisting that RICO serves as a vessel for considering specific offenses such as kidnapping, robbery, and arson, necessitating the naming of crimes to substantiate RICO claims. She challenged House Republicans to provide evidence of RICO crimes in the Biden case.
Backlash Against AOC
AOC faced backlash from legal experts and conservative commentators who criticized her understanding of the law. Some commentators pointed out that RICO requires predicate offenses to establish criminal activity, highlighting wire fraud and money laundering as potential crimes within the Biden family’s RICO framework. AOC’s legal acumen was scrutinized, with commentators contrasting her background as a former bartender with the legal expertise of critics like Ted Cruz.
