Nicolle Wallace details how ‘criminal enterprise’ investigation ‘could take down Trump and his entire empire’

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace broke down how indicting the Trump organization as a “criminal enterprise” could allow prosecutors to take down President Donald Trump’s “entire empire.”

“A legal theory that has long been whispered about by legal experts and veteran prosecutors has spilled out into the open in the wake of Michael Cohen’s explosive testimony — the possibility that Donald Trump and the Trump Organization are being investigated as a criminal enterprise,” Wallace reported on MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House” on Tuesday.

“The undercurrents have been there all along, with federal law enforcement officials and lawmakers comparing Donald Trump’s conduct to that of a mob boss,” she continued.

The host then played clips from people close to the organization making the argument.

“It’s like, you know, a “Sopranos” episode where Tony is going to a poorly-lit [sic] parking garage and meeting with a leader from another mob,” suggested Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who sits on the Judiciary Committee and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

“This is classic kind of criminal enterprise behavior, right? You have a very — a strong leader who rules by force of will and personality, who demands unquestioned loyalty from those people around him,” former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe charged.

She also played a clip of former FBI Director James Comey explaining how “very strange” it was for him to compare the president of the United States to a mafia boss.

1. I had never watched the movie "The Untouchables" about Al Capone's criminal syndicate until

a few days ago. I was astounded how similar Trump and his cohorts sounded to Capone and his. There is no doubt in my mind that they are the mob. I hope that SDNY takes the whole bunch down and all of the assets are confiscated!

2. they only wish they were the mob. they make the mob look like perfect 10 nuclear surgeons.

7. Apparently, Capone was a whiny, self-pitying, man-baby as well.

"Capone, like Trump, was prone to public self-pity, apparently needing to go before the press and complain about how poorly the authorities and the media treated him.

In December 1927, Capone announced that he’d suffered enough abuse and was leaving for Florida.

“Let the worthy citizens of Chicago get their liquor the best they can,” Capone told the Chicago Tribune. “I’m sick of the job—it’s a thankless one and full of grief. …

“I’ve been spending the best years of my life as a public benefactor. I’ve given people the light pleasures, shown them a good time. And all I get is abuse—the existence of a hunted man. …

“Public service is my motto. … But I’m not appreciated. It’s no use.”

When Capone went to Los Angeles instead, the locals didn’t appreciate him either. Forced out of the city and sent home by the LAPD, Capone griped to the Los Angeles Times: “Why should everybody in this town pick on me?”

Of course, Capone was ultimately brought down by tax evasion and I suspect Trump will be brought down by something similar as well. His larger crimes will most likely go un-prosecuted, but as long as he ends up in prison I don't care how he gets there.
