Weisselberg Feb Thread 1/ With Mazars news, let's update Allen Weisselberg path to take Trump to prison Weisselberg is Trump accountant who loses 8 criminal cases & unless he flips, will spend rest of his life in prison. His first criminal court trial starts end of this summer
Weisselberg Feb Thread 2/ Donald Trump faces 5 paths to prison for LIFE 1. Weisselberg (NY Taxes etc) 2. Giuliani (Ukraine etc) 3. Matt Gaetz (leads to Trump selling pardons) 4. Roger Stone (Jan 6th) 5. Tom Barrack (UAE etc incl extortion of Qatar) Plus DOZENS of lesser cases
Weisselberg Feb Thread 3/ Weisselberg faces 8 CRIMINAL trials: 1. NY taxes (Manhattan DA) 2. Enterprise fraud (NY AG) 3. Money laundering (NY AG) 4. Sanctions busting (Federal) 5. Campaign & inaugration (DC & Fed) 6. Emoluments (Fed) 7. Other state tax 8. Scotland money launder
Weisselberg Feb Thread 4/ Weisselberg 1, Manhattan DA, is SIMPLE tax fraud case, where prosecution has SLAM DUNK case They have the 'smoking gun' - they have the DOUBLE BOOKKEEPING. He will lose this case They ALSO have witnesses Trump (& his sons) also CONFESSED THIS CRIME
Weisselberg Feb Thread 5/ Weisselberg 2: Enterprise fraud at NY Attorney General, has moved to Grand Jury stage. They HAVE the case to take Trump to trial. A Grand Jury exists ONLY for purpose of issuing indictments. It's likely Trump Hitler Jugend kids are indicted before Trump
Weisselberg Feb Thread 6/ Weisselberg 3: Money Laundering for mafia, is a FAR more serious crime than Weisselberg 1 or 2. Weisselberg and Trump face Life in NY State prison for that. (state crimes cannot be pardoned by a US President). This crime is ALSO investigated by Feds
Weisselberg Feb Thread 7/ Weisselberg 4: Sanctions Busting for Russia (federal), is the WORST financial crime Weisselberg & Trump have committed, it carries Life WITHOUT PAROLE in Federal prison. Is a crime against the USA Note this crime happened BEFORE Trump became President
Weisselberg Feb Thread 8/ Please understand what I said. I did not say it was worst crime Trump committed (January 6th or Covid, you decide). I said it was the worst FINANCIAL crime this dynamic duo, Trump & Weisselberg committed together. But yes. Life without parole in Fed pen
Weisselberg Feb Thread 9/ Weisselberg also had crimes 5 (inauguration and campaign fincance); 6 (emoluments); 7 (other states including MORE tax fraud in NY State (Westchester) and IL, CA, MD, NJ, DC, FL etc); 8 Scotland: money laundering All these will be tried in court
Weisselberg Feb Thread 10/ In EVERY crime, Trump was Mafia boss. Mafia boss is ALWAYS tried last. Like with NY Taxes: 1. Michael Cohen 2. Weisselberg 3. Trump kids (Don Jr, Ivanka, Eric) 4. Trump himself The Mafia boss is ALWAYS tried LAST. That is how this works, ALWAYS
Weisselberg Feb Thread 11/ We learned in August that prosecutors have 3 million pages of evidence against Weisselberg. The systematic intentional tax fraud ran 17 years We learned in Sept that Allen DELETED incriminating evidence. It establishes his knowledge of guilt.
Weisselberg Feb Thread 12/ We now learned Trump accountans Mazars have handed 525,000 pages of evidence to prosecutors. They tossed Trump under bus, by stating clearly, that they now know Trump lied to them in fraudulent financial statements.
Weisselberg Feb Thread 13/ There are collaborating witnesses against Weisselberg including Michael Cohen, Trump's former attorney Jeff McConney the number 2 accountant Calamari, a Trump Org exec Weisselberg's son's former wife
Weisselberg Feb Thread 14/ There is no way Weisselberg wins. He's a tax cheat in the jurisdiction with highest taxes in America (New York City: Manhattan borough). All New Yorkers hate tax cheats. His jury will want to fry him. Weisselberg owes nearly a million dollars in taxes
Weisselberg Feb Thread 15/ Weisselberg 1, Manhattan DA & NY Taxes is MORE than Weisselberg cheating on taxes The DA has proof Weisselberg committed GRAND larceny. He falsified documents to STEAL money from NY (his fraud got Allen a false TAX RETURN) THIS ADDS SERIOUS TIME
Weisselberg Feb Thread 16/ Normal tax fraud of one million dollars, gets Weisselberg about 5 years in prison (similar to New York billionaire Leona Helmsley, who owned Empire State Building) The Grand Larceny pushes that to 12-15 years. This is on his FIRST criminal case of 8
Weisselberg Feb Thread 17/ There is no way New York will abandon million dollars in taxes owed (back taxes NEVER expire). Crimes this serious mean prison time. NY will levy a PENALTY of 2 million dollars more, so Weisselberg will pay $3 million and do at least 12 years in prison
Weisselberg Feb Thread 18/ Manhattan DA vs Weisselberg is simple tax fraud, nothing else NY financial crimes unit is world's largest army of financial crime prosecutors & forensic accountants, because Wall Street is world's financial center. They win 90% of time This they win
Weisselberg Feb Thread 19/ NEXT in Weisselberg 1, are the OTHER TAX CHEATS In court documents Manhattan DA said there are others - plural - who cheated also on taxes (which must be Don Jr, Eric, Ivanka) and at least 1 who cheated MORE than Weisselberg (that must be Trump)
Weisselberg Feb Thread 20/ Manhattan DA had Special Grand Jury sitting 6 months. The only purpose of Grand Juries is to issue indictments. Weisselberg indictment took 30 days. The Grand Jury sat 5 MONTHS MORE of testimony. They indicted more people. Those indictments are sealed
Weisselberg Feb Thread 21/ On this FIRST crime Allen faces 12 years + $3M back taxes & fines Don Jr, Eric, Ivanka each face at least 5 years + $3M. Of course they flip I estimate Trump faces 15 years + $60 million in back taxes & fines for this first Weisselberg criminal case
Weisselberg Feb Thread 22/ IN ADDITION - collateral damage from Weisselberg trial 1, includes likely Weisselberg's wife, and Weisselberg's two sons; some other Trump employees; possibly Melania is also exposed as she signed Trump's tax returns too
Weisselberg Feb Thread 23/ Weisselberg's plea bargain negotiations will try to protect his wife and sons. He himself faces EIGHT criminal cases, where at least 2 are FAR MORE SERIOUS than this tax fraud (with life sentences) If Allen is wise, he flips fast (he may ALREADY have)
Weisselberg Feb Thread 24/ When Weisselberg flips, he has to confess ALL crimes and rat out ALL other criminals including his son (ie make the deal together with Barry to cut time for both of them) & testify against Trump. Is complex deal, but Allen's position is becoming WORSE
Weisselberg Feb Thread 25/ What we saw in Lev Parnas, his attorneys negotiated 9 months for deal, it fell through: no deal. Parnas WANTED a deal Why did Feds lose interest suddenly? My guess is that was the evidence found in FBI raid of Giuliani's office Allen in similar peril
Weisselberg Feb Thread 26/ Weisselberg 2 (NY Attorney General: Enterprise Fraud) moved from subpoena stage to Grand Jury stage. Eric Trump saw one of his attorneys suddenly quit It may be that Eric was asking the attorney to do something unethical (maybe I am being too cynical)
Weisselberg Feb Thread 27/ If Weisselberg does not cut a deal soon, he faces HUGE escallation of the criminal charges to money laundering, and NY state Life in Prison sentence (several of those) His attorneys told judge, attorneys expect MORE criminal charges from new evidence
Weisselberg Feb Thread 28/ Like ALL Weisselberg cases, Trump is the ultimate boss As any mafia case, the boss is tried last When Weisselberg flips, he has to confess all crimes, and rat out all other criminals. Criminal cases will come likely in 1 year intervals, for 8 years
Weisselberg Feb Thread 29/ Weisselberg 4 is Allen's worst crime. It is Sanctions Busting (Federal) and a crime against the United States of America Here he faces Natural Life Remaining Without Parole in federal pen. Same of course for Trump.
Weisselberg Feb Thread 30/ Sanctions Busting is such a rare crime, few people know of it, and what it is, how serious it is When Putin annexed Crimea from Ukraine, President Obama slapped biggest sanctions in US history against Russia (bigger than Reagan: Soviets Afghanistan)
Weisselberg Feb Thread 31/ Donald Trump helped Russia & Putin oligarchs circumvent the sanctions. Trump aided an enemy of the United States when an ally of the US was at war with this enemy Weisselberg begged Trump for a pardon for THIS Federal crime, not the NY state crimes
Weisselberg Feb Thread 32/ Let me be VERY clear. Sanctions Busting (VERY rare crime) is about as bad as ESPIONAGE The Sanctions Busting Trump did for Putin happened BEFORE Trump became President. It started BEFORE Trump became a CANDIDATE As bad as espionage Crime against USA
Weisselberg Feb Thread 33/ This Federal crime is in the investigation stage. When Weisselberg flips, he has to confess to this as well. It makes the plea bargaining difficult. How do you bargain down from life without parole? That involves Federal/DOJ not just New York
Weisselberg Feb Thread 34/ Weisselberg 5 is campaign finance & inauguration frauds (Federal & DC). Involves Ivanka, Melania, Tom Barrack Weisselberg 6 is emoluments crimes when Trump was President Weisselberg 8 is money laundering in Scotland Allen has to confess to all of it
Weisselberg Feb Thread 35/ I estimate now that Weisselberg TOTAL time (all 8 cases) is 142 years Trump related time, of JUST these same Weisselberg crimes (not Jan 6th etc) to be 172 years For Don Jr & Eric, on Weisselberg related crimes about 115 years Ivanka about 45 years
Weisselberg Feb Thread 36/ America's most notorious gangster, Al Capone was not convicted on murders, extortion, smuggling etc. He was sent to life in prison on tax fraud We do not care HOW we get Trump behind bars, as long as we do. Tax fraud is FASTEST way to get Trump there
Weisselberg Feb Thread 37/ Trump will go to prison for life on 5 separate paths (Weisselberg, Giuliani, Matt Gaetz, Roger Stone, Tom Barrack). He also loses dozens of other cases This is criminal trial. It takes a long time. It is Mafia trial, boss is tried last Have patience
