The biggest takeaway from Thursday’s indictment of the Trump Organization and its Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg is that more charges could be coming, former Manhattan borough and tax prosecutors told TPM.
The floodgates are just starting to trickle…
“Everyone does it!” seems like a pretty thin rebuttal generally, but especially when you’re talking almost a million bucks in one exec’s unpaid taxes alone. That’s not using a company car on the weekends.
“Talk 'im down Emo!”
Michael Cohen certainly thinks there is much more to come:

more charges could be coming
I would have said “more charges SHOULD be coming,” but that’s why you’re the reporter, Josh.
And I’m just the intelligent public : - )
Exactly!
Especially when these people hire armed enforcers to make sure we all believe they’re the most law-abiding.
Flash Flood Alert!
I can’t seem to remember that boy’s name, but I’d assume his finger began to ache…
I would place a bet that the next indictment is for Don, Jr., Eric, and/or Ivanka based on the documents they signed relating to the Seven Springs property. Of course, their defense will be (a) they received legal and accounting advice that the disparate valuations were proper and (b) that none of them knew what the other two were doing.
The key date comes in October, when the statute of limitations will probably expire on the Don himself.
“Every thug in the hood holds up people at gunpoint. It’s a regular, common practice, and every cop and district attorney knows it very well. Indicting my client with charges of armed robbery simply because you found the videotape he made of the robbery is obviously a vendetta.”
Good luck with that, fellas.
More charges to come? Can’t wait…
Can someone help me understand?
If Trump himself had nothing to do with all of this, shouldn’t he be pissed off that Allen stole all this money and material from his company?
Couldn’t happen to nicer folks. 
“You’ve got an ironclad case against Weisselberg, an ironclad case against the Trump Org, and they want to make that very clear right out front.”
“This is just a first step,” held Michael Shapiro, a prosecutor and attorney in New York City. “The DA’s office is not particularly interested in having their ultimate goal be Allen Weisselberg; their ultimate goal was to go after Trump and members of his family.”
Ivanka’s Trousers: “Pfffft”
Eric’s Trousers: “Braaaap”
Don Jr’s. Trousers: “Pbbbbbbbbt”
Used-President’s Trousers: “Frrrrt…Blaaaarp…Kerplunk…Thpptphtphphhphphphhphphphhph”

Wasn’t stolen or missing, it was all write-offs of business expenses.
Much cheaper for both parties than if that had gone as regular paychecks (think of things like social security and Medicare taxes that are tied to income and paid by both sides).
Now with Batman…
And thus, Trump knew about it.
Well, we should all have sympathy for the Trumps, the Trump Organization and Weisselberg and compare to their treatment to that of Al Capone.

Being that it is the favorite comparison that Benadick Donnie went with in these situations. Just for old times sake.
