1. "federal"

Interesting. Anyone home at the IRS?

12. The bi-partisan infrastructure bill calls for stepped up enforcement

of tax laws to help fund the spending. What a great place to start!

[Harker]

19. +33.

That's a beautiful thought!

[Deminpenn]

22. And deliciously ironic

[patricia92243]

2. If they are found guilty, what happens? A fine and slap on the

wrist????

6. You don't get a lawyer like Mark Pomerantz involved in a case

if all you think you're going to extract from the defendants is a fine and a slap on the wrist. If you read between the lines in this indictment, there are other characters and entities involved, including an unindicted co-conspirator; and this grand jury is still sitting - it isn't done yet. Superseding indictments are possible on other charges. This one has to do with tax fraud (and the IRS is likely to have an interest in the same offenses), but other kinds of fraud could be uncovered as well.

7. Cohen got jail time. Each of the felony charges carries a possible 7 years in prison, according

to somebody I heard on CNN.

Nobody thinks he will get a 105 year prison sentence, but it is certainly possible he will get SOME time, like Cohen did. And even a year or two would be hard on a 74 year old.

[Deminpenn]

10. Especially hard for someone who has never had the

indictment experience, court appearances and pre-trial restrictions that go with it. Cohen spent his time in a federal prison camp, not exactly hard time, and tried repeatedly to get released. Imagine if you are 74 yrs old, facing a similar 3 yr sentence and not going to spend it in a cushy federal prison camp, but state prison.

3. Who is the unindicted co-conspirator? Drumpf or a cooperating witness?

[JohnQFunk]

4. My guess: Matthew "Matty the Squid" Calamari, Weisselberg's lieutenant

[Scottie Mom]

5. Speaking indictment

Like Chuck Rosenberg said yesterday, prosecutors do indictments one of two ways: Lay out the charges by statutory violations...or...a speaking indictment.

We have here a speaking indictment...which means, they are sending a message to everyone concerned.

Good!

[triron]

9. I think there are others who agree with Rosenberg.

[Scottie Mom]

13. My late law partner was a major crminal defense atty in Southern California -- State and Federal

Yep, I knew when he had a client that was in major trouble. The indictment went on for pages with FACTS...not just penal code section which were being charged.

I cannot wait until TFG is on the hot seat with one of these.

[triron]

15. Hope this holds true here!

[Scottie Mom]

18. Chuck Rosenberg said pretty much the same thing yesterday.

Soooo...looking like where there is smoke...there should be fire!

[C_U_L8R]

8. What a scheme.

This could bring every one of them down.

[Deminpenn]

11. IIRC, it was Tristan Snell, the Trump U prosecutor,

who said the indictment shows the entire organization was cooking the books.

[Scottie Mom]

14. I read all of the precatory language

The charging parts of the document are interesting, but not the meat of what is foreshadowed, IMO.

The lead-in....yep, they were all involved in running the scam on taxes.

JMHO

[mysteryowl]

16. "SCHEME TO DEFRAUD IN THE FIRST DEGREE"

Yep, that is who they are.

[AllaN01Bear]

17. hot diggety dog. :)

[burrowowl]

20. Kick

[Chainfire]

21. "Systematic ongoing course of conduct with intent to defraud..."

Isn't that what the RICO statutes were meat to address?

Come on folks, this is just a minor bookkeeping error. Why are they picking on the Trump team....everybody does it....
