Weisselberg and the Trump Organization were charged as part of what prosecutors described as an “off the books” scheme over 15 years to help top officials in the Trump Organization avoid paying taxes. Weisselberg, 74, was accused of avoiding paying taxes on $1.7 million of his income.
Intersecting legal problems…
Someday we’ll learn where Nunes got all the money for these tantrum lawsuits.
Oh my dog. Everything he touches is toxic. Trump has so many legal issues–I feel like I should file a lawsuit against him for FOMO!
This is an old Nunes case, but Donald’s spreading taint keeps pulling everything in.

Sean Hannity has ideas on prison population reduction…
Whut???
If I was a parent at the school, I’d be unleashing unholy hell on the administration there. This is far beyond unacceptable.
Too right; what the actual fuck…
That’s like the Roy Moore Shopping Mall grand opening.
Weisselberg pleading guilty does not mean that Trump will wind up convicted of financial crimes. Roiphe explained that in corporate contexts, however, the discovery that a company higher-up is committing crimes like Weisselberg’s offenses could mean the end of a business.
“It should — and does — bear upon his reputation as a businessperson in New York. Assuming they can convict the organization as well, it can have direct consequences on his business and his work and his business’s ability to continue in New York,” Roiphe said. “Criminal liability is usually a pretty big deal for a corporation— it’s often a death sentence. The penalties could be so significant that the organization cannot survive past it. The penalties can be so high the company just doesn’t exist, and it could ultimately end in the dissolution of the company.”
The potential of criminal liability for Trump was greater in the Georgia election meddling case and South Florida federal records inquiry. “There’s a parallel civil and criminal investigation in New York [and] while we don’t know where it will ultimately lead, there have certainly been signs that show the [New York] criminal investigation has been lagging,” Roiphe said.
This possible testimony, which allegedly implicates Trump’s businesses, could be key to prosecutors’ securing a guilty verdict against these companies.
Emphasis mine. So companies will be found guilty but not the chuds who run them? How does one send a corporation to jail? Fuckface Von Clownstick skates again…
Companies are people too yo. /XLs
