Trump Nation Conviction Thread

Post by TC Talks » Thu Aug 18, 2022 12:07 pm

I figured since there are a slew of convictions coming, why not track them. We start with a biggie...
Allen Weisselberg, a Top Trump Executive, Pleads Guilty
One of Donald J. Trump’s most trusted executives stood before a judge on Thursday and pleaded guilty to 15 felonies, admitting that he conspired with Mr. Trump’s company to carry out a scheme to avoid paying taxes on lavish perks — even while refusing to implicate the former president himself.

As part of the plea deal with the Manhattan district attorney’s office, the executive, Allen H. Weisselberg, is required to testify at the company’s trial if prosecutors choose to call on him, and to admit his role in conspiring with Mr. Trump’s company to carry out the tax scheme. That testimony could tilt the scales against the company, the Trump Organization, as it prepares for an October trial related to the same accusations.

“Yes, your honor,” Mr. Weisselberg said again and again in response to detailed questions from the judge, Juan Merchan, who asked whether he and the Trump Organization committed the criminal conduct underlying each of the 15 counts.

Under the terms of the plea deal, if Mr. Weisselberg testifies truthfully at the upcoming trial, he will receive a five-month sentence. Mr. Weisselberg, who was facing up to 15 years in prison, must also pay nearly $2 million in taxes, penalties and interest.

The plea deal does not require Mr. Weisselberg to cooperate with the district attorney’s broader criminal investigation of Mr. Trump, and his admissions will not implicate the former president. His willingness to accept jail time rather than turn on Mr. Trump underscores the extent of his loyalty to a family he has served for nearly a half-century, and it helped stymie the larger effort to indict Mr. Trump.

So he didn’t flip against Trump. Well that’s a loss then.

He agrees to testify in future trials. He hasn't had the chance yet. I want Trump's organization dismantled to pay his dues more than I want to see him in jail.

It says "His admissions will not implicate the former president" right in your article. That sucks. You know he has dirt on Trump that would implicate him. He has agreed to "sorry not going there".

Trump has been bankrupt before. To him, it's just a clever way of doing business. He boasts about it. "That means I'm smart." Gets him out of his obligations to creditors, customers and employees.


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

Who said anything about bankruptcy?

Prevented from doing business in New York is a better outcome.

Not terribly likely especially if nobody wants to turn states evidence.

I have a feeling TC Talks will be posting in these forums from the insane asylum if Trump wins re-election in 2024.

I have the feeling you are right… though I don’t find such an outcome terribly likely for Trump…. TC is another story.

Or right here in the USA...

Some of us who care about our fellow man, care about democracy, care about our nation of laws don't plan on losing. How's that raid on the IRS to retaliate for the FBI collecting National secrets working out for your fellow deplorable?

It will never happen.


They/them, non-binary and proud.

I agree - the handlers in the insane asylum will keep TCT away from the internet.


What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

Police lives matter? Apparently not to other police...

This is an excellent example of the type of police officer that we need to root out of law enforcement. There are plenty still serving who shouldn't be.
WASHINGTON — A retired New York City police officer who was convicted of several felonies for attacking a Washington police officer with a flagpole on Jan. 6, tackling the officer to the ground and trying to rip off his gas mask was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison Thursday.

Thomas Webster was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta to the longest sentence yet in a case related to the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Jurors convicted Webster, 56, in May after they determined he was lying on the stand when he tried to convince them he was trying to help the officer he assaulted to "see my hands" when he grabbed the officer's gas mask after he tackled him to the ground.
