All this RICO talk has explained to me why Giuliani was recruited by Team Trump.
Quite apart from Giuliani's general fit with the republican party,
(rich, well educated clearly part of a metropolitan elite etc.),
I seem to remember that the Public Prosecutor, (ADA?),
that was the early incarnation that brought Rudy to the public eye,
he used the RICO powers to prosecute various NY crime families.
Team Trump needed someone with experience from the other side
to see what previous Trump/Trump Corp/Trump Foundation activities
could be mitigated.
