* The former president called the DA's investigation 'a continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt of all time,' in a lengthy, rambling statement
* Charges relate to alleged failures to pay taxes on corporate benefits and perks
* They are not related to 'hush money' payments to porn star Stormy Daniels
* Trump Organization has denied any charges of wrong doing
* Charges likely in connection with fringe benefits the company awarded to Weisselberg, who prosecutors were hoping might flip

Prosecutors investigating the Trump Organization are expected to bring their first indictments on Thursday, according to people familiar with the probe, charging the company and its chief financial office Allen Weisselberg with tax-related crimes.
It would mark the first criminal charges brought against the former president's company since the Manhattan district attorney's office began its investigation three years ago, according to the Wall Street Journal.
It reported that the defendants including Weisselberg are expected to appear in court on Thursday afternoon.

WNU Editor: Are you kidding me?!?!?!? After three years of investigations this is the best that they can come up with? The CFO not declaring his cash bonus and some of his perks on his income tax?!?!?!?
Too bad for CFO Allen Weisselberg who is now probably going to be forced to pay a steep financial penalty.
But in regards to former President Trump. If they had something on the former President it would have been leaked days ago followed with headlines and wall to wall coverage from all the major networks.
Bottom line. Like the Mueller investigation and report. They have nothing.
You do not prosecute a jaywalker, when y0ou should be prosecuting a mugger. Cyrus Vance, who has a dynastic political pedigree has used the vast resources of his office for this.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the OPPORTUNITY COST?
For those of you in Rio Linda it means "What could Cyrus Vance been doing instead?"
Four almost five years later I am still waiting for the Left to get Trump.
On Friday the 25th Cyrus Vance announced indictments coming the following Monday. He did so to set the table for the Sunday news shows. That is he was playing politics. Due to Cyrus confidently announcing on Friday I expected a few maybe several Trump associates to be indicted. Maybe Trump himself. I mean a know better than to believe based on the track record of establishment types.
Cyrus is one of the kool kids. He is part of the establishment. His dada was Secretary of State under Carter. He can give substandard or average results and the MSM and Beltway will ooh and ahh.
Being a high flying DA carrying out the establishment's biding is a good gig. He sleeps and easts at 5 star hotels whenever he travels paid by funds seized in court cases.
Comey's daughter works in his office. If the American political establishment is not more corrupt than Moscow, we are going to pass it soon at the speed of light.

"Manhattan D.A. can spend the money seized from Wall Street banks with no governmental oversight"
Village Voice and the network of newspapers it is part of, are liberal.
Let is just say it. Cyrus Vance is P.O.S.

Cyrus Vance. The same psychotic Marxist who dropped some 200+ charges against BLM/antifa looters o he could focus on his "Big Case" against Trump.

You seem unaware of the Fuller implications of this tiny but key first step
ReplyDeleteYou will learn how this works soon
Is that the "Fuller Brush" man Lapides?

Lapides the world has waited years for the next step, please tell us when it will happen!
DeleteThe sagely wise and all knowing Herr Dr. Fred is telling us yokels how Cyrus Vance is going to flip the little fish to get the big fish.
ReplyDeleteFirst the CFO is about as high as you can go without getting Trump. Is there any intermediary levels between the C level and Trump? Does Herr Doktor know what the C-level is?

I trust WNU for analysis more than the opinion of person living in a shack.
Tell me where is prison time for not paying taxes on bonuses assuming it is true?
AOC owes $2,000 in unpaid taxes from failed business venture
AOC failed to pay taxes and she did not face prison time. No her mess was scooped up, thrown it not garbage with t kitty litter and the sidewalk power washed.
Without prison time what leverage do they have over him? If they give him prison time and it is unique punishment for the crime it will look like what it is, a political prosecution and sentencing.
Going to prison or not going to prison, he will pay a fine assuming the charges are true. Maybe we will find out that it is unrealized stock options and he does not have to pay taxes until he actually exercises the stock options? It might be complicated otherwise they would have already had that long ago.
Question why is Vance doing the job of the IRS or the New York State Department of Revenue.
If the did not catch it or did not think it illegal, does Vance really have a case?
The last guy, who of his own volition did not pay all his taxes, started singing liberal tunes and they did not get Trump. This time they will get Trump? Really?
Cyrus dropped charges on politically connected 20 somethings, who firebombed police vehicles, in NYC. NYC is losing it tax revenue because people are fleeing the violence. Then Vance does this crap. If Vance was 1/2 as good as Meuller and Meuller was a sad sack, then he would have spun the case of to the IRA or NY state department of revenue. But there are not as many or as big of headlines for Vance so he did not. And maybe as much as they want to get Trump they would not touch it with a 10 foot pole because they know there is no9 case.

ReplyDeleteWe all understand prosecutorial discretion and flipping. You pretending we do not makes you one thing. Boorish

The people back then also cheered on the Nazis and goosesteppers when they abolished law. Just like Fred. They do not know better. As long as it's the other side who's getting the boot, they'll froth .. that's how it always is and why history repeats itself. The stupidity of Fred is both endless and eternal.
