US Politics Thread

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Pressure starting to mount but it's all so slow.

I don't get why they don't arrest and charge him for the documents thing. Just get it moving.

The authorities nailed Al Capone on tax fraud charges.

Weisellberg flipping could breach the dam and bring everything else crashing down.

In the US, when you agree to plead guilty and agree to cooperate in an investigation in exchange for leniency, you FORFEIT that leniency and get nailed for everything IF you do not FULLY COOPERATE. In short, if he withholds anything, he’s nailed!

However, he’s obviously a smart man who hitched his wagon to a crooked company for decades, so he knows which side his bread is buttered now and, with the detailed financial records they have, it’s virtually impossible to even attempt to play fast and loose with ANY facts!

Could have been either parties peeing the CRT law I guess…

Did the Trump Org even keep proper records, or was it just a collection of number based on a 'gut feeling'?

Just watching Al Jazeera and they’ve stated that Trump’s moneyman has pleaded guilty to tax fraud and is to turn state evidence against him?

The Chief Financial Officer of The Trump Organization. Personal tax fraud on his part, but as part of his plea, he agrees to testify against TOO in the case coming up in October. TOO allegedly paid the CFO "off the books" which was part of why he underpaid his taxes, so logic dictates somehow that had to be approved by someone at TOO. I wonder who? But no one in the Trump family has been charged -- just the company.
