<p>Former beloved New York Mayor and one-time Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, who now shares an indictment with his ex-boss, calls the Georgia charges an &#8220;affront to democracy.</p>



<p>Perhaps in one of the biggest ironies of the Trump witch hunt, Giuliani has been charged in a RICO case, the kinds of prosecutions that he built his reputation as a crime fighter on when he successfully went up against the gang bosses of the NY Mafia.</p>



<p>Giuliani also added that it&#8217;s &#8220;just another chapter in a book of lies with the purpose of framing Donald Trump and anyone willing to take on the ruling regime.</p>



<p>&#8220;The former Mayor, who achieved national prominence in the wake of the 9-11 attacks, ; is facing a total of 13 charges in the wide-ranging indictments handed down by ;Fani Willis, the district attorney of Fulton County. The charges include making and writing false statements, racketeering, conspiracy to commit impersonating a public officer, conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree, and conspiracy to commit filing false documents, among other alleged offenses.</p>



<p>&#8220;They lied about Russian collusion, they lied about Joe Biden&#8217;s foreign bribery scheme, and they lied about Hunter Biden&#8217;s laptop hard drive, proving 30 years of criminal activity,&#8221; Giuliani continued in his statement. &#8220;The real criminals here are the people who have brought this case forward both directly and indirectly.&#8221;</p>



<p>While working as a federal prosecutor in New York in the 1980s, Rudy Giuliani was hailed for his innovative use of racketeering laws against the mob.</p>



<p>Giuliani, 79, wielded the same kind of RICO statutes that he is now accused of to spectacular result when he was the US attorney for the Southern District of New York.</p>



<p>Giuliani used the law — which allows a variety of crimes to be tied together into a single racketeering charge — to take down the leadership of the city&#8217;s &#8220;Five Families,&#8221; organized crime families that operated across the country. The indictment charged that their leadership was essentially a &#8220;board of directors&#8221; for the Mafia and had engaged in murders, extortion, and loan sharking.</p>



<p>The trial lasted 10 weeks and netted ;eight convictions. Giuliani said at the time the verdict &#8220;resulted in dismantling the ruling council of La Cosa Nostra.&#8221;</p>



<p>His success led to more widespread application of the law, which is often used against violent street gangs and other criminal enterprises.</p>



<p>Now that these same laws are being used against, this one-time hero of law enforcement is perhaps the greatest travesty of the ongoing Trump Witch Hunt.</p>
