Thanks. This is what is confusing to me - the distinction in RICO of involvement.
What's more, is that in a RICO conspiracy, an overt act is not required to be a part of the conspiracy. Just knowing about what's behind the curtain could get a lot of people in trouble.
So maybe you'd be in the conspiracy if you knew and didn't tell, but someone, somewhere has to be determined to be the last overt act violator? That could be a lot of things, including someone committing perjury recently. Would that drag the whole conspiracy out with that act - resetting the 5 year clock? Seems like that is what is implied in the article you found. Marc Elias gave testimony to the Grand Jury more recently, so if his statement that he was providing legal service is found to be false - because he wasn't vetting anything that was getting leaked to the press - then there's another clock reset. It would "toll the statute of limitations" on the conspiracy. Ratcliffe uses that phrase in the interview.

I think that Spygate would be classified as coming under RICO. I haven't seen it discussed. Ratcliffe said an entire law firm could be subject to indictment. Sounds like RICO.
