The government need not prove that the defendant agreed with every other conspirator, knew all of the other conspirators, or had full knowledge of all the details of the conspiracy. All that must be shown is: (1) that the defendant agreed to commit the substantive racketeering offense through agreeing to participate in two racketeering acts; (2) that he knew the general status of the conspiracy; and (3) that he knew the conspiracy extended beyond his individual role.

Generally, those convicted of Federal Racketeering/RICO crimes are sentenced to a maximum 20 years and $25,000 fines per count. So for a Federal RICO case at least two offenses in a ten-year period must be charged and in many cases, far more specific charges are brought. Anyone facing Federal RICO charges will be facing other charges as well so that a loss of the case generally means spending the rest of one’s days in prison.

Thinking this through, it seems like the RICO charges could only be brought against private organizations not government agencies. So for instance a campaign organization (and their paid contractors) could be subject to this law, but any additional government employees acting in concert, toward a common cause, in the same criminal conspiracy, would be not be subject to the RICO law. Govt employees could however be brought up on standard conspiracy charges, as they were acting outside the scope of their employment. Individually, they don't have much money anyway so that might not make too much difference, especially when you think about the civil RICO aspects where monetary damages are involved.
