Weisselberg just walked into the courtroom HANDCUFFED!!!!

[George II]

[dchill]

1. I witnessed that, too!

Law & order.

[SoCalDavidS]

2. Expect Him To Be Out On Bail Before The Day's Over nt

[Hekate]

5. Doesn't matter. He has to live with this moment the rest of his life!

[SoCalDavidS]

7. Yeah, Whatever

We'll see if he ever spends a single day in jail.

[George II]

9. trump's right hand man was just led into court in handcuffs. That's an amazing image. Whether....

....he spends a day in jail or not, that won't go away.

[SoCalDavidS]

12. Sorry

I wish this would make me happy. I really do.

But unless someone is actually held accountable, this is a mere inconvenience for these Criminals.

While we think it's extremely embarrassing, I don't think someone with as low ethics as him, suffer embarrassment.

I WANT HIM HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

I WANT HIM IN JAIL FOR YEARS.

Great if this is a start towards that, but I'm not going to get excited over something that will look insignificant in a few months, if he's walking free.

[reACTIONary]

22. Hopefully, he will spend some time in jail, but...

... even more importantly, I hope he flips and rats out tfg. If he does that and walks I won't complain. Much.

[SheltieLover]

3. Who is judge?

I hope one who will consider him a flight risk!

[Moostache]

4. I won't be happy until...

I see Trump frog-walked into court crying like an infant with a load in his shorts...and then not 100% happy until the words "guilty on all counts" are heard, followed by wailing tears and screams of "You can't do that to me!!!"

[smirkymonkey]

16. I would so love to see that happen.

Nothing would make me happier.

[LiberatedUSA]

35. We will all get to see it.

Once he is arrested, his mental health will decline at a much faster rate than it already is. He is going nuts not being on Twitter and the center of attention. In prison he won’t even be able to bust in on parties and rant; he’ll have to rant at the walls and the cells across from him.

He will mentally and physically decline so fast, that it will likely be shocking to see.

[gratuitous]

6. The crowning achievement of a long career

Congratulations, Mr. Weisselberg.

[marble falls]

8. It's finally going to hit home. We mean business. Criminals get time, in or out of office.

[SWBTATTReg]

10. Good! Now it's time to get the rest of the trump cabal and put them all out of business.

[Bettie]

11. I'll enjoy this moment

even knowing that they will probably all get away with all of it.

They always do.

The Cosby thing is a strong reminder that justice isn't really a thing when you are talking about rich people.

[SoCalDavidS]

13. Exactly Why I'm Finding It Hard To Get Excited nt

[Bettie]

15. And if they do end up with consequences

we get to be happy about that.

But until then, I'm not holding my breath!

[DENVERPOPS]

20. Ditto SoCal........nc

[George II]

14. Initial charge so far - the trump organization evaded $1.7 million over a 15 year period...

15 individual felony counts, each worth 7 years.

[KPN]

28. That's just Weisselberg, State taxes and what they've uncovered with certainty.

It’s the tip of the Trump crime syndicate iceberg.

This better not end up like so many of the disappointments we’ve experienced in dealing with the Trump thus far. It may be our best and only shot at saving us from criminal oligarchy. The Supreme Court did not make rescuing democracy any easier today.

17. As they teach future CEO's in business school

You want a good accountant? You ask him, "How much is one plus one?"

A good accountant answers without hesitation, "Anything you want it to be, Sir!"

[JohnnyRingo]

18. If I saw my company CFO in handcuffs...

...I'd be shitting my pants, and I'm sure that's what happened today to at least three of Trump's offspring. Even the Kushners used that business as their personal piggy bank.

Now it's possible Wiessleberg has a rusted out bro truck with giant Trump flags festooning the bed and he'll gladly take the fall for the family, but I doubt it.

[Treefrog]

19. And just walked out without them.

[Kingofalldems]

27. And?

What's your point?

[George II]

21. This is a hysterical tweet on this subject:

30. Bwaaaahahahaaaaa TY

[New Haven]

23. under Nixon ---Attorney General John Mitchell was sent to prison

I personally believe that there are a bundle of indictments buried in the Mueller Report----there is not a moment in Mueller's career that did not shine. His position was misread by many of us. He simply stated that a President can not be indicted. Things are different now and it is a new day.

[orangecrush]

25. Just the beginning

They are approaching the investigation as a crime syndicate.

29. new york calls it enterprise corruption.. and it's beautiful

[quote]Statute
New York Penal Code Article 460, et seq.

Statutory Definition of Enterprise Corruption

A person is guilty of enterprise corruption when, having knowledge of the existence of a "criminal enterprise" and the nature of its activities, and being employed by or associated with such enterprise, he or she:

Intentionally conducts or participates in the affairs of an enterprise by participating in a pattern of criminal activity;
Intentionally acquires or maintains an interest in or control of an enterprise by participating in a pattern of criminal activity; or
Participates in a pattern of criminal activity and knowingly invests any proceeds derived from that conduct, or any proceeds derived from the investment or use of those proceeds, in an enterprise.

The enterprise that is corrupted need not be the criminal enterprise by which the person is employed or with which he or she is associated, and may be a legitimate enterprise.

Statutory Definition of Criminal Enterprise

A "criminal enterprise" is "a group of persons sharing a common purpose of engaging in criminal conduct, associated in an ascertainable structure distinct from a pattern of criminal activity, and with a continuity of existence, structure and criminal purpose beyond the scope of individual criminal incidents."

Penalties and Sentences

Class B felony: Up to 25 yrs. in prison and of fine of either $5,000 or double the amount of the defendant's gain from the crime (whichever is greater)

33. Thank you.

[getagrip_already]

26. $1800 suit, $500 shoes, $50 bracelet.... perfect n/t

34. +1

31. Now if Nordic prisons were in the mix . . .

. . . I'd say "go for it, Al!" But we're dealing with American lock-ups which can be rather short on the amenities. Weisselberg hasn't had his reality check yet. No one in the twilight of their years wants the wafer thin mat (as opposed to mattress) on a slab of cold steel to sleep on. Especially when the normal aches and pains of the elderly years have kicked in.

These Nordic prison cells are so good, you'd want to go to jail
