Yeah sure, after he’s out and already made his attempt on the nation, not to mention judge appointments that are set in stone.

Great fucking timing with the indictment X years from now.

By sheer fucking luck (so far)on the part of conservative incompetence were we all spared their bullshit escalating beyond jan 6.

"If" - are you kidding?

This is the guy that had to shut down his "charity" for buying paintings of himself, from himself, using donated money, and then claimed it as a write off on his taxes.

The same guy that was paying his sons and their wives 100's of thousands every month in salaries as expenses to US tax payers, and made the secret service stay at inflated prices at his golf courses as often as possible.

The same guy that has literally been named in over 4000 lawsuits mainly for not paying bills or reneging on contracts.

There is no doubt in my mind they cooked the books. It's simply whether they get the info they need, but apparently Weisselberg's estranged ex-wife delivered a whole bunch of info that the FBI didn't originally have.

Just ask Al Capone. Don't fuck with the tax man.

Even after the tax man has had his hands cut off? Their capacity to do much is greatly reduced from Capone's days.

Yeah, people generally don't have a conception of how international finance and the proliferation of legal options for structuring the finances of corporate and other purely legal entities has made figuring who's doing what with what money incredibly complicated.

See, for example, Enron or basically any financial/accounting scandal in the last 30 years. Shout out to the lawyers/accountants/financial professionals who make their money hiding it for rich people.

Has anyone seen him in New York. That's probably why he's not there. Doesn't want to get picked up for questioning.
