Trump Org/Employee indictments

[dc2london]

Come one, come all, the grifters are getting indicted. Reports are that Weisselberg (Trump Org CFO) has surrendered to the authorities in NY and that things will be unsealed around 2 p.m.

All we know so far is that the charges concern alleged tax related crimes.

Now do the kids!!

Catching talking points on my drive in, someone said they think AW will flip now hes facing charges. I dont believe it.

[dc2london]

Dan Goldman has flagged a couple of things on Twitter that seem noteworthy: first, today may not be the end of it. Superseding indictments could very well follow, especially if Weisselberg provides evidence or testimony against others to reduce the charges/sentence he could face.

Also, due to statutes of limitations, there may be crimes that the government can no longer charge bc they are past statute. So there could be alleged crimes described in these indictments that helped form the basis for bringing a case but can not actually be, themselves, prosecuted bc too much time has passed.

Another is that the DA prosecuting this case is leaving his post at the end of the calendar year, so he may be moving with expediency to finish the case himself.

I am here, I am caffeinated, I am ready.


I've also pulled out my anti money laundering books and will be happy to consult.

I hope ‘ol Weissey is as loyal as Trump would be to him if the roles were flipped and he sings like a bird.

I woke up on the pessimistic side of the bed and believe this will end up being much ado about nothing, furthering the MAGA’s belief their leader is the victim of unfair treatment. Maybe I will be wrong but I can’t keep on waiting for the universe to do the right thing here, because it never will.

While I am very excited about this particular day, I am more excited about any IRS or forensic accounting that the FBI might be doing. That is a huge puzzle to pull together.

If they get him at all, it'll be like they got Capone.

Is Dan on TV anywhere?

[dc2london]

Oh Weisselberg is in handcuffs

[dc2london]

[dc2london]

Weisselberg skipped out on $1.7 million worth of taxes. 2nd degree grand larceny. Minimum sentencing involves probation, but prison time is possible.
He has pleaded not guilty,

Dan Goldman says he doesn't anticipate Weisselberg flipping if this is the highest level charge

I am...not pleased.

The arraignment is over so we should have an indictment unsealed any minute

He was billing his cable and heat bills to Trump org. Lord.

[dc2london]

The indictment name checks Trump bc he signed the checks that paid Weisselberg 's granddaughters' private school tuition. It does not appear to allege knowingly keeping those payments out of his tax reporting

[dc2london]

"Executives"

[dc2london]

There's at least one unindicted co-conspirator, likely from my reading someone else in the Trump org finance dept

[dc2london]

15 counts in all.

These dudes kept 2 sets of books. Classic gangster shit.

Man, that’s a lot of state and local taxes. I know it’s not in the grand scheme of things but just shows the two different worlds people live in.

The "it's not illegal to exploit tax loopholes" arguments that come from people who also illegally hide their income. Lolsob.
