MOTHERFUCKER's Org Verdict - GUILTY ON ALL 17 COUNTS

[Stinky The Clown]

Ron Allen just announced live from the courthouse on MSNBC

[Blue Owl]

1. K&R

Lock the Fat Fuck up!

[Effete Snob]

2. They never should have let Hunter Biden do their taxes

Um... that's right, right?

[Best_man23]

3. GUILTY

[Kid Berwyn]

4. Show me a liar and I'll show Thee a thief.

[Joinfortmill]

14. Omg! Ugh

[iluvtennis]

28. Ugh ugh.

[Lonestarblue]

5. I think Weisselberg took the hit for Trump. I doubt there was anything that happened in that

organization that Trump didn’t authorize. He is known as a micromanager. Now investigators need to look into the tax fraud by the Trump spawn. I remember a NYT report that Ivanka received a salary but then also received several hundred thousand in consulting fees. I don’t remember whether the consulting fees were reported as income, but salaried personnel do not get paid consulting fees.

6. I have a pretty good suspicion that the IRS is already on this.

[Grasswire2]

36. Remember that IRS Commissioner Rettig is Trump appointed...

....and, earlier as a tax attorney, he advised Trump to never release his taxes. Voila, he gets appointed Commissioner!

And then Rettig refused the lawful request from Congress for release of Trump's date. The law says the Commissioner SHALL release the data to Congress on request.

7. Glenn Kirschner speak of Alvin Bragg's cowardice...

[wiggs]

10. Right. But Bragg just hired a major attorney involved in the civil case. nt

[MyOwnPeace]

20. It looks like they hired a GREAT new guy.....

one with plenty of great experience and plenty of background on other tRump cases. That's great - let's hope he's a 'KILLER!'

BUT, what about the 2 attorneys who HAD been handling the case for C. Vance before Vance retired? When he took office Bragg told those guys that he was NOT going to pursue the tRump case. They made a 'respectful' public stink about NOT going after tRump, but did NOT go nutso against Bragg or the Manhattan Office.

Whey were THEY not brought back?

Were they asked and declined?

Might be a big NOTHING - but I'd sure like some answers about it all.

In the meantime - LOVE THE VERDICT - the "HOUSE OF tRUMP CARDS" is starting to crumble!!!!!!

[msfiddlestix]

32. I'm thinking this verdict was a take down of merely one column of tRump's criminal empire.

I remember Vance wasn't exactly 'On the Case' in terms moving the investigation along in preparation for trial.

Vance struck me as foot dragging at a painfully slow pace., in fact there were times when it was reported nothing was going to proceed.

But then with political events being what they were, seemed to have been like a fire getting lit under his ass. except again, signs of foot dragging right through the period leading up to his retirement, he hired those well known, experienced prosecutors, then Braggs comes i and douses cold water on all that work. Like it was all worked out behind closed doors.. leaving the public, prosecutors and AG twisting the wind.

I'm sure I have all of this wrong, just grist for a film script that's been recycled hundred million times.

I recognize that tune! Just a few of the same words but re-arranged to fit the given chorus line.

I find this closing argument fascinating, obviously transmitting it to the public, praying that a sort of baton was being passed to whoeer outhere to whoever might have legal standing and the fortitude to carry on and finishing it.

[MyOwnPeace]

33. I guess the 'idealist' in so many of us......

just still wanting to believe that there really is a 'good, happy' ending, just like the film script.....

Come on, aren't we due for ONE 'good, happy' ending after the past 6-7-8 years of 'Nightmare on Pennsylvania Avenue?'

[msfiddlestix]

34. Is that man behind bars tonight?

Let me know when that happens, then we'll have something to celebrate?

Surely drink a toast for this one, it's a victory none the less. a small one, but sure I'll drink that for what it's worth.

cheers!

[MyOwnPeace]

35. I'm sure you'll know without the need to hear from me........

it will be plenty loud outside in MANY parts of the country!

[msfiddlestix]

37. Indeed! Party big tonight! Two Big Victories, actually right?!!

[wiggs]

9. Agree. nt

[Torchlight]

8. I'll take it as a good sign of things to come.

I don't wear a t-shirt that reads 'Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius', so I'm not the guy who pretends to know what will or won't happen. But I'll sure take this as a good sign.

[MyOwnPeace]

21. You DO know that Wile E. Coyote.......

was a MAJOR stock holder in the ACME COMPANY, right? He was only creating his own share of profit!

[malaise]

11. Now I understand why he headed to Florida

He knew his fraudulent organization was going to be exposed.

[NewJeffCT]

16. Florida also has the homestead law

so, no matter how egregious the crimes, Trump would be allowed to keep his "primary" residence.

NY does not have a similar law. I don't think NJ does, either.

[malaise]

19. Thanks for this

So he can lose Trump Tower?

[ShazzieB]

26. Oh, I hope he does lose it!

And whoever the eventual owner is changes the name.

Can you imagine how much he would HATE that? Plastering his name on things is incredibly important to him. Having his name removed from one of his precious buildings would make his head explode!

And after that, somebody please do the one in Chicago. SO sick of seeing his name emblazoned on that thing. (Although it did make a handy focal point for protests when he was in office. )

Hey, if the Sears Tower could become the Willis Tower, anything is possible!

[NewJeffCT]

31. We can hope

I remember the Homestead law because there was a big scandal in my neck of the woods in the late 80s (Colonial Realty & Benjamin Sisti) and Benjamin Sisti had his wife purchase a $30 million home in Florida for that very reason.

And, one of the people he scammed back in the day was Donald Trump. The home Sisti built in the Hartford, CT area was later purchased by Mike Tyson and then 50-Cent.

The wife ended up getting convicted of fraud for helping him hide his assets

Not sure what happened to the home in Florida, though

[Dan]

27. Yes, and I hope that backfires on his ass.

Cause according to Trump, Mar-a-Largo is not his residency, he resides there as an employee….(I was laughing when I first discovered that); he is being too smart by half….

[Warpy]

12. Now reported by CBS

https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/trump-organization-trial-verdict-tax-fraud-charges/

Time for charges against the guilty parties, from TFG to his kids, all of whom were up to their necks in this.

[ShazzieB]

29. Ooohhh, that's right!

*rubs hands together gleefully and starts making popcorn*

[Joinfortmill]

13. Yup. Tick Tock. More coming

[muriel_volestrangler]

15. "I think nobody knows more about taxes than I do, maybe in the history of the world"

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-says-his-tax-rate-is-none-of-your-business

Just a reminder for when he or MAGAs say he knew nothing about what his own company was up to, tax-wise.

[ShazzieB]

30. Nobody knows more about anything than he does.

Just ask him, and he'll tell you so!

[Takket]

17. this paragraph.......

"The trial also revealed potentially embarrassing details about Trump, including that he reported nearly $1 billion in operating losses over a two-year period in 2009 and 2010, as well as losses each year for the decade between 2009 and 2018 -- some of the same years Trump was touting his business acumen on reality television and as he was campaigning for president."

HE'S A FUCKING FAILURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[panader0]

18. His organization was found guilty, so what will the punishment be?

No business in New York state?

[LAS14]

23. A million dollar fine. That's it. Anyway, that's what it sounded like on CNN today. nt

[LAS14]

22. The real crime is the low fine. It works out just to be the cost of doing business. nt

[Evolve Dammit]

24. Has sentencing been scheduled?

[electric_blue68]

25. Thanks STC, and GK. 👍 I guess we'll see. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
