The indictments against the Trump Organization and its CFO, Allen Weisselberg, will remain sealed until Thursday afternoon, leaving the specific charges against them unclear.

And when the indictments are unsealed the charges may be named but I will bet they will remain unclear.

I'm looking for a bookie to put money on that bet! :)

He will pretty much be a hero here on FR until such time as he squares off against his former boss. Then watch, there will be buckets of hot cauldron iron coming down upon him from all quarters.

Some idiot liberal (But, I repeat myself) is swuawking on my local forum that Trump has been indicted. Too stupid or just frantic to claim he rather than a company is the target.

They are trying to bleed him dry via attorney cost
And keep his name associated with criminal behavior.
They are so incredibly evil. No wonder there is such a lack of confidence in Gov’t. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
They have become far too overburdening

He will turn against Trump. Take that to the bank. Does that answer your question? Also, are you able to talk without vitriol and bile? Try it, it is soothing. Have a nice day.

Please get it right. How many times do we have to tell you? It is the Department of Agriculture, Globalism Unit, Office of Bilderberger Grants

That is your perspective. Fine. But I don’t share it.

This will screw up their ability to get loans, and the company itself may well go out of business. They have the option of leaning not only on Weisselberg but in SVP Jeff McConney, main comptroller, who has a lot of liability. He is already cooperating and has been walking the Grand Jury through this stuff. There is no love lost between any of these people. Eric, Ivanka, Don Jr, Weisselberg, CEO, Deborah Stilleo...mark that name.... McCONNEY. We will likely be hearing that name in the future.

They should go after Hunter Biden, too, in my estimate.

You are right, though. It is rather minor. If convicted of these charges, Allen is looking at just a prison term based on charges that he cheated federal, state and city tax authorities out of nearly $1 million in a scheme that ran for 15 years. Not that big of a deal. In addition, he faces a count of second-degree grand larceny, which carries a maximum term of 15 years, for taking federal tax refunds on underreported income.

I don’t know about you, but since we on FR apply regularly and falsely for refunds on taxes from the IRS over 15 years or so, it will probably be adjudged as pretty normal and they will give him some leniency. Just something to consider.

Yeah, like that makes a lot of sense posting something like 14,000 articles and translating from Asian languages, and writing in detail and responding, and contributing to FR, attending a few Freeps when stateside, in the span of 22 years. That some real “trolling” there. Thats what I call dedication and a lot of free time for a person!

Go along now. I hear your mother calling.

PS I have every right to my opinion here is an independent Conservative American as you do, so do a favor, cut me a solid and ZIP IT

Tonight Rachel Maddow is interviewing Mary Trump. She says that whatever it is the law is after, it has been going on a long time. She thinks some family members will cave before the CFO does.

“This will screw up their ability to get loans”

Nonsense!. Banks are in business to get loans and the by far most important criteria is the borrowers ability to repay. The banks safety net are the pledged assets value and that is that.

I spent 5 yrs in Commercial Lending years ago and lending practices have not changed since then. Note that the ridiculous noise over Trump org inflating asset values for lending and deflating them for tax appeals has totally gone away. That is because it was totally ridiculous to begin with and so is this.

Your claim and that of the slime media is that x or y is may “turn” and expose something are silly because there is nothing to expose. How can I say this? Simple, Trump’s organization has been under constant audit since the 1970s and there has never been a complaint against it by the IRS.

This is harassment pure and simple and it is easy to see by how obviously ridiculous and petty these charges are that the Left has run out of avenues of attack on Trump.

Simply put what Trump is accused of doing is and has been done for decades and decades in businesses of all sizes and it is the preview of the IRS to deal with this and yet they have not....why?

A GJ indictment means diddly.

No, but the process can grind you down, by design. That’s the Democrat objective: punishment through lawfare.

As Mark Levin opined last night, the vultures spend over a year and subpoenaed millions of documents on this witch hunt, and THIS was all they could come up with.

And yet, Durham can’t even come up with an indictment.

Trump has had more lawsuits than Carter has pills. Doubt it will have much impact on him.

How I hate the Delusional Lying Left, Cicero’s Enemy Within, and their satanic Democrat minions.
