Original Note:
It is *not* illegal to tweet that you’re watching TV, reserve rooms for meetings, or ask someone for a phone number. They are presented in this RICO case as "overt acts” — not criminal/criminalized in themselves, but as actions done in furtherance of an alleged conspiracy. https://www.washingtonpost.com/documents/1ccdf52e-1ba2-434c-93f8-2a7020293967.pdf?itid=lk_inline_manual_5 https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-charged-under-law-used-prosecute-mafia-bosses-2023-08-15/
