I keep seeing references to RICO in the Trump Georgia stuff. What is it and how is it relevant to that case?

You know how when you let your dog off his leash, and he bites someone, you get in trouble for it? That's RICO, basically.

You tell it to bite somebody and it does*

Otherwise it’s just negligence, but yeah, otherwise it’s accurate enough
