“He is now being used by the Manhattan District Attorney as a pawn in a scorched earth attempt to harm the former President,” the spokesperson added. “The District Attorney is bringing a criminal prosecution involving employee benefits that neither the IRS nor any other District Attorney would ever think of bringing. This is not justice; this is politics.”
The Trump Organization and its Chief Financial Officer, Allen Weisselberg, pleaded not guilty Thursday to tax crimes charges brought by the Manhattan district attorney’s office.
Trump’s longtime finance chief surrendered early Thursday to New York authorities for arraignment in the first criminal indictment arising from a two-year investigation into the former president’s company.
Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg was photographed walking into a building that houses both the criminal courts and the Manhattan district attorney’s office around 6:20 a.m.
Weisselberg, 73, was due to be arraigned in the afternoon on a grand jury indictment charging him and Trump’s namesake company with tax crimes related to fringe benefits given to employees, like the use of apartments, cars and school tuition, people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
More @ Breitbart
This is MORE of the lefts use of "lawfare"....
ReplyDeleteThe goal is to convict Trump employees and threaten
them with massive prison terms if they don't testify
Using the lefts scripted lies against Trump. Their hatred
of him is beyond rationality.
Their hatred of him is beyond rationality.
DeleteFor sure.
They wasted 3 years of investigation. Found nothing. Make up something to save face. Trump should have fired the DA.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteThe left was angry with Donald Trump, from the moment he announced his run for the presidency, until this very day. The reason is quite simple. He was not a normal politician, who they could work behind the scenes with to play the game, and get what they wanted, without looking like they were getting it.
ReplyDeleteThe Republicans are just as bad, and participate with the Democrats, in playing the game, as was shown in the first 2 years of Trump's presidency.
Paul Ryan and company made sure that former president Trump was unable to accomplish many important parts of his agenda, due to the Republicans in both the House and the Senate dragging their feet. One big one was the concealed carry reciprocity bill, which leadership of both chambers said was not going to be able to pass, and therefore they would instead wait, until they could muster more support.
And we must not forget the Obamacare fiasco, which Trump basically made a big part of his campaign, along with a border wall, that the House and Senate sent bills to Obama with much frequency, knowing that he would not sign them. But when there was a possibility that they had the chance to actually get it enacted, with a president who would sign it, suddenly they were all out of ideas. There used to be a phrase for what we would call such behavior in the foundry where I spent my entire working life as an adult, of over 35 years, and the letters that started it were C and S.
I have never been a Republican nor a Democrat, but voted for the man with the best ideas, and also the best character, if I could. For example, I voted for Jon Anderson, a third party candidate the first time Reagan ran, due to some of his ideas on financial matters. And I could not vote for Jimmy Carter, even though I am a Christian, and was considering attending Bible College at the time. Because Jimmy Carter, at the time a man of very high moral character, was a weak leader.
We elect many of our officials, from the Sheriff to the District Attorney, and here in Michigan, the board of both the University of Michigan, and Michigan State University. While that might sound like a good idea, in actuality, it makes the people who fill those jobs not the best for the job, but instead, the best politicians, who know how to manipulate and maneuver people's mind to vote for them, while the actual ability to do the job takes second place, if it is even a consideration.
In New York, the State Attorney General is Letitia James, and she set her sights on the NRA while still running for office, knowing that much of the state's population was liberal and did not like the organization, due to the liberal anti gun groups messaging and propaganda.
Ms. James also didn't like former president Trump, and was working hard to somehow find a way to get rid of him from the White House. In fact, the Democrat party didn't just want to get rid of Trump, but they wanted him to suffer, both to humiliate him, and to make certain that he could never again run for president, or any other office. They didn't just dislike his policies, but they literally hate him, and are still actively trying to find a way to humiliate him and bury him for good. They forget that Trump is not just one man, but he represents some 75 million voters, who are in agreement with him on many things, the main one being that America is the greatest nation on earth, with people from most other countries wanting to come here for the chance to better themselves. And for the most part, if a person is willing to work, they can better themselves, making both their lives and the lives of their families into something significantly better than what they faced from wherever they came from.
Thanks.
