Michael Cohen: Weisselberg indictment 'the tip of the iceberg'

Michael Cohen: Weisselberg indictment 'the tip of the iceberg'

...“I don't want people to think that this case is about Allen Weisselberg and an apartment and a free car and so on. It is substantially larger in scope than just that aspect. That is but the tip, it’s the tip of the iceberg, and there is so much more that's going to be coming,” Cohen said during an interview on “CNN Newsroom.”

The tax evasion charges against the Trump Organization may seem minor, but remember: Trump is a terrible businessman, subsisting on defaulted loans,  bankruptcies and a crappy TV show. His hotels are empty and his brand's in freefall. He never ran an empire, only a  shell game. - Paul Rudnick

Uh Oh. Roger Stone Is Going Through Some Things.
The Department of Justice is attempting to seize a $400,000 condo purchased by Trump confidant Roger Stone weeks after his January 2019 criminal indictment.

Although Trump commuted Stone's prison sentence for lying to Congress, the DOJ is pursuing a civil lawsuit against him.

According to the Daily Beast, the DOJ considers the condo purchase "an overt act of fraud." Stone somehow managed to secure a mortgage for the condo despite owing the IRS $2 million and facing a $1.5 million federal lien.

Trump, you sweaty imbecile. you could have quietly lived in the shadows and laundered Russian mob money and done porn actresses to your heart's content but you had to be the center of attention and now the whole world knows that not only are you a criminal, but a stupid criminal. - Jeff Tiedrich
