Bryan Skarlatos, Weisselberg’s attorney, told the New York State Supreme Court during a pre-trial hearing on Monday that “We have strong reason to believe there could be other indictments coming,” per CNN.

and that reason would be…?

If Weisselberg is expecting more indictments then you can be sure as hell that he is guilty as hell and should be behind bars until he dies.

Because they know that Weisselberg has lied numerus times during the investigation… so far.

Soooooo hoping for a situation in which one of the Trump Brood gets indicted and we get to watch the batshit of them fleeing to some red state where they pretend they can essentially act like they’ve claimed asylum there…while the governor…hopefully DeSantis…throws a nutty trying to upend the abundantly clear Constitution on this issue. An extradition drama will be so much fun.

Per the dailybeast (I know), due to a box of tax documents found in the basement of a co-conspirator. Possibly Calamari or his deputy. New York Prosecutors Find New Evidence in Donald Trump Organization Case Allen Weisselberg Jeff Mcconney

He is not worried at all, Trump will pardon him once he is restored to the presidency on August 13th.

Time to flash fry the Calamari.

Let’s hope that they can assemble charges that have teeth … strike fear in Weaselberg’s spine (would normally say heart … but the sob lacks any sort of organ)
It seems that so far the charges that have been made have been viewed as only vague thunder in the distance and he has hardly flinched.

And the reason his lawyer is claiming that Weisselberg will likely face more charges is…? The story doesn’t make clear why the lawyer was bringing this up with the judge. Was it to ask for some kind of delay or something?

I think it’s something like, The Thin Blue Line protects us from anarchy, but behind the Thin Blue Line is a little chihuahua, and behind the little chihuahua is a neon cross?

I suspect Big Al will flip as soon as prosecutors (both Manhattan and State) let him have a look at the laser sights they have focused on his kid.

Best he turn on Toadglans before Toadglans or his kids turn on him.

I don’t get that.
And I mean, at all.

I know it’s a cross and a chihuahua and a blue lives matter flag but does it mean anything beyond that?

Uh… how about getting on with the actual trials?

This is most likely evocative of two things. 1. Owning the libs because folks like us hate this dreck and 2. The attraction of fascisty folks to pseudopatriotic, pseudospiritual, kitschy, sentimental “fascist-realism” art and culture.

Also, it’s the most vicious Chihuahua you’ll ever see. It’ll do you up a treat or two, mate!
