The charges against Weisselberg are the first brought by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, who has been investigating Trump’s business empire for two years along with New York Attorney General Letitia James.

The SWAT raid on Roger Stone was banana republic stuff.

Hunter Biden is laughing his ass off. It feels good to be above the law.

raged Trump Jr., adding, “this is banana republic stuff, and if our press was even a little bit intellectually honest, they’d be calling it that

Hey, that's my line.

The Founders didn't anticipate an army of "prosecutors" with nothing better to do than go after their political enemies.

Government prosecutors were few and far between in the early years of our former Republic.

“Our tax experts say that’s not even taxable”

And that’s all this comes down to: an argument over deductions. Which is normally reserved for the IRS to demand, and be litigated in their administrative law courts.

Instead, the sick filth of Noo Yawk DA loony land try to pump it up into some grand conspiracy.

BS. The Trump Org and this CFO know all of this crap and they spend millions making sure with their own auditors that they are on the level. They know about fishing expeditions by filth like this.

I despise George W. Bush for not protesting any of this.

More like the Dictatorship of the woke, fascistic, oppressive Marxists.

“Government prosecutors were few and far between in the early years of our former Republic.”

If you cut 25 billion out of the DOJ budget, it would get a lot of attention.

It’ll never happen because many conservatives love big government just as much as liberals. Many conservatives have no problem with police state activity, as long it doesn’t effect them personally.

Take for instance the drug war, the media starts creating hysteria about drugs, guns, gangs etc. Then the politicians and “law enforcement beneficiaries” start passing draconian laws......bye bye Constitution.

Yep, lots of conservatives are in love with "law and ordure" - when that is the very mechanism with which they'll be hanged.

The Left discovered one of the great weaknesses of our Constitution.

Own the prosecutors, the state AGs and the secretaries of state, and you can do anything you want.

All this in an effort to get Allen Weisselberg to so called “roll over” on President Trump and claim manufactured crimes out of whole cloth.

He had the Trump corp pay for his grandkids private schools, and skated checks through other employees. This isn’t about perks.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. You can thank the bipartisan nature of the coup for this bit of Democrat thuggery. They have the green light from the GOP to take out MAGA and they know it.

The conservative vote is easily 25% of the total vote.

Perot proved that in 1992.
