Another installment in the pressure campaign to flip Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg. He could be hit with criminal charges in the Manhattan district attorney’s tax investigation as soon as this summer, according to the New York Times.
Didn’t see anything in the article that supports the headline; i.e., Weisselberg could be cooperating on some issues and the DA could just be piling on potential charges to make sure a deal struck is a deal with opening for more cooperation.
Thing about Johnson, he was (or appeared to be) a straight-ahead boring party line Republican before becoming “kind of odd.” Maybe he was always odd or maybe he’s jammed up, beholding to McConnell for dirty Russian money McConnell doled out for Johnson’s 2016 reelection. I’d like to know what goes on behind the curtains but guess I never will.
I suppose T____'s spawn have threatened to have Russian gangsters beat his kids to death. At his age, there’s not much potential upside to taking a stretch in stir, but there could be plenty of downside to ratting out T____.
