I mean - it's obvious...you can't trust wealthy Americans to pay their fair share.
That is probably a good idea, but there are some ethical wealthy Americans like Warren Buffett.

That is so true. This is so reminiscent of Watergate back in 1974 when I was just 14. I remember Nixon flashing the peace sign on his way out. He resigned on August 9, 1974 (yes, I googled that ). I have a feeling Trump will go out with less class and may even flip us the bird.

Michael Cohen, long-time legal “fixer” for Trump, pleaded guilty to eight criminal charges and implicates Trump

Manafort, campaign manager, found guilty in court.

David Pecker, the CEO of National Enquirer publisher American Media Inc. and the "catch and kill" store front, has been granted immunity

Allen Weisselberg, Trump Organization CFO, Granted Immunity

Trumps Attorney General appointee states the actions of the Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations.

Even Trump is saying the impeachment word by trying to suggest his being in office is the only thing holding the stock market up.


The house of cards is falling. More and more people are distancing themselves from Trump and doing whatever they can to stay out of jail themselves. The legal system has been walking on eggs for over a year because they are dealing with the President but the evidence is piling up. "Alternate facts" and "truth isn't truth" is not reality and the judicial system, congress and the American people are fast coming to the conclusion this farce has to stop.

You can speak for yourself. It isn't over until it is over.

From WaPo:

It is unclear whether investigators in New York have sought to get information from Weisselberg beyond his knowledge of Cohen’s reimbursements.

Peter Z. Wu, a real estate broker who has worked with the Trump Organization, said Weisselberg was always quietly at Trump’s side during negotiations and handled the payments to the company’s partners.

“He gets involved in all the transactions, all the money flows, so he’s quite an important man, and I’m sure he’s very loyal to Donald,” Wu said. “I would be surprised if they would be able to get too much out of him.”

It is not uncommon for prosecutors to offer immunity to a person who may have wittingly or unwittingly facilitated a crime if investigators decide that person is more of a witness than a perpetrator, or if prosecutors decide they cannot get necessary testimony without offering some degree of immunity.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...=.71f973a19f9f
Apparently the Feds zeroed in on Weisselberg from the tape and Weisselberg is being used as corroboration for Cohen's testimony. In the process he was granted immunity. I don't think he's going to be doing much other than confirming what prosecutors already know. He definitely hasn't "flipped." A Trump family loyalist to the core, family loves him.
