racketeering enterprise. so i suspect that is what she will be looking to do. we also saw a significant change in this investigation in georgia last week when 16 folks involved in the quote unquote fake electors went from being witnesses in this probe to potential targets and they received those target letters. they had already informed the head of georgia s republican party that he s a target and a number of the other folks i mentioned. i just wonder how significant that is in your assessment of that in this state, that all of those folks, as it pertains to potential future charges, went from being their witnesses to potential targets? i see this in two ways. there is the act of trying to create this plot, which raises question of illegality. but jennifer can also speak to the fact that they may be use thing target to elicit more
look at her history of prosecution, and she s had a lot of past success in prosecuting high profile folks on racketeering charges. what do you make of that as a potential charge for former president trump? and what would it take to prove? i think racketeering is interesting, because in states, it can be much more expansive and easier to charge than it is federally. federally, there s no way racketeering could be charged here. it s just too limited, but in georgia, you can use many more underlying predicate acts to prove a racketeering enterprise, and she s done that throughout her career. so i expect that these reporters were right, that she s looking to do that. i think she s even mentioned that as a possibility. in georgia, you have a lot of things to choose from, including these underlying solicitation to interfere with an election, some of these other underlying illegal charges that can be used if you have more than one of them in a pattern to show a
