criminal minds?!.....Trump Organization charges coming tomorrow.....

[vision63]

Just the first of many fusillades.

2 members of Trump Organization were informed...


How civilized, and professional.

I want to see cops in raid jackets marching in, with press coverage, and marching out with suspects, cuffed and stuffed.

Then other cops in raid jackets carting out boxes and boxes of evidence.

Let the lawyers find out by getting a frantic phone call from someone watching actual breaking news or from their client after they're finally booked, and getting the allowed phone call.

Gather the evidence, make the arrests a spectacle, not a mere perp walk.

So far, it sounds like the charges being leveled are super low-key. Tax avoidance on perks? That's it? If that's all there is, I can see this as a big plus for repubs claiming that Trump is being unfairly targeted. I expect a years long criminal investigation to find some serious crime.

“The federal authorities became intent on jailing Capone and charged him with 22 counts of tax evasion. He was convicted of five counts in 1931. He was… sentenced to 11 years in federal prison.”

I look forward to the judicial proceedings referencing Unindicted co-conspirator #1.

Voila!

“From at least 2005 through the date of this indictment, the named defendants and others, including Unindicted Co-conspirator #1, agreed to and implemented a compensation scheme with the object of enabling Weisselberg to underreport his income to federal authorities, and thereby evade taxes and falsely claim federal tax refunds to which he was not entitled," the indictment says.

Woo-hoo!

A person familiar with the investigation told CNN the unindicted co-conspirator is Jeff McConney, the Trump Organization's long-time controller.

Awwwwwww.

Listen, the fact is we have a tradition in this country that we don’t criminally prosecute the president, even when he was the third-worst ever, he’s not president any more, and he’s guilty as hell. And I kinda understand why, even though Trump doesn’t deserve a free pass.

But lifting the curtain on the Trump business to let the world see what crawls out is about the next best thing.

I wonder if the reason he is an unindicted co-conspirator is because he is cooperating with the prosecutors.

Third worst?

It's sad that the 'next best thing' is a very distant second to seeing 45*, the worst president we've had— muffed, cuffed, and stuffed, and then marched into a cell.

Seeing CO's pictures of 45* behind bars would be priceless.

I believe lift the curtain on 45*'s dirty business laundry (or is that dirty laundry business) will only mean something to though who already thought 45* was dirty, but just didn't know how much.

I'm one of those who never liked him just because he was a jerk.

As it turned out, he was a crook long before considering public office.

That will be a reveal to some people, and that he never stopped being a crook is even a bigger reveal to a lot more people.

Weekly, sometimes daily we're treated to news on how his control of our democracy spread like untreated black mold.

But few of his supporters, including those who seem to love him will change their minds after seeing the scum behind the curtain.

RHL politicians are another matter, being a little more pragmatic than the unwashed masses, but in many instances, not any braver.

That he was a crook from the start goes without saying. Thing is a segment of today's electorate are as well and they appreciate the acumen it takes to do for him what they would like to do for themselves.
