Grand Fucking Larceny Motherfuckers!!!!!!!

Weisselberg's charge

Breaking on the teehee as I type.

[oswaldactedalone]

1. Class C Felony

Probation to 15 years. He'll get probation. Merry Fitzmas, everyone!!

[StarfishSaver]

2. Please educate us on the crimes he could have been charged with

what penalty he would face, what time he would actually serve and, if course, detail the facts and evidence the prosecutors had upon which such charges would be based.

7. The Fact Remains

Mission Accomplished!

4. Current legal analyst thinking: no more charges against Weisselberg.

5. Just accepting free parking huh?

LOLOLOLOL....

[QED]

6. $1.6 million unpaid taxes.

Talking head lawyer on MSNBC doubts he'll see jail time and he didn't flip.

8. MSNBC chyron: Allen Weisselberg charged with grand larceny in the second degree, other charges

Also: Weisselberg accused of avoiding $1.7 million in taxes

[malaise]

9. 15 year scheme

Way bigger than expected by some

10. The fact that Letitia James and Cyrus Vance were in the courtroom

gives off the air of impropriety. How many other arraignments have either of them attended? Someone on the Trump team is going to look into it.

Stop fucking it up people. You're just giving them excuses and opportunities to wiggle out of even these minor charges.

12. No

That's . . . not how this works. Whether they were in the courtroom or not is utterly irrelevant to the charges and the case.

11. A big thud

Teflon Don skates again.

13. A few posters in the replies to this OP are fairly pessimistic about how this will go

But as the day wore on something better than initial in-the-moment surmise emerged. There is an increasing opinion that this is, indeed, just a first salvo. Just a few highlightsf highlights of the wisdom of the day's talking heads:

Of interest are the "Individuals" and "Unindicteds".

Thinking holds that the tax returns will play a larger role.

Management malfeasance by and of the Trump Organization can easily reach the kids.

At age 74, the reality of a prison term could well cure Weisselberg of his festering case of Omertà.
