It can be and Fani Willis, an acknowledged expert in the use of Georgia's RICO statute in criminal prosecutions, believes it is. Who am I (or you) to argue with her? Leave that to the esteemed Trump parking lot attorney, Alina Habba.

This article by David French, a life-long conservative and an attorney whose specialty is First Amendment issues explains how and why Trump's lies are central to the RICO conspiracy. He states:

"The best way to think about Georgia’s sprawling indictment against Donald Trump and his allies is that it is a case about lies. It’s about lying, conspiring to lie and attempting to coax, coerce and cajole others into lying... Georgia’s racketeering statute allows prosecutors to charge, among other crimes, a number of false statement statutes as part of a generalized criminal scheme. In other words, rather than seeing each actionable lie as its own, discrete criminal act, those lies can also be aggregated into part of a larger whole: an alleged racketeering enterprise designed to alter the results of the Georgia presidential election."

The bigger question is why are you now defending Trump's coup conspiracy and refusing to believe what your eyes should have told you years ago? After all, your party is the one that talks constantly about "election integrity" and here we have a clear case of attempted election fraud and you're trying to nitpick it to death and pretend it didn't happen. Whassup with that?
