And could this whole thing be any more emblematic of how corrupt our DOJ is, than the judge that signed off on the MaL raid being a former lawyer for f’n Jeffrey Epstein!?!?!
Unbelievable.
fake news. he was not a lawyer for Epstein.
you would be shaming yourself if you were able to be shamed. But alas.

I should put the caveat on that he did apparently do some work for former epstein employees. Not the same thing as being 'epstein's lawyer.' Classic trumper way to twist a kernel of truth into a massive lie.
You left out the news stories that NZ routinely has invaded other countries, dropped atomic weapons on its enemies, enslaved an entire population for centuries while committing cultural genocide on another, has been led by a politician who breaks every conceivable law and heads a party that is opposed to democracy because it refuses to accept the peaceful transfer of power through elections. That doesn't also include that at least a third of its population embraces every conspiracy theory, and its law enforcement officers often choose to slowly kill members of the public on the streets in full view of protesting bystanders. Gee - it must be one "sh*thole country" (to borrow from a certain loser). Wait - isn't that the US - where you are from? It explains a lot.
The organisation’s secretary general, Kevin Casas-Zamora, said: “The visible deterioration of democracy in the United States, as seen in the increasing tendency to contest credible election results, the efforts to suppress participation (in elections), and the runaway polarisation ... is one of the most concerning developments.”
Topping the list were Norway, New Zealand and Finland, while the U.K. ranked 18th. The U.S., which was given a flawed democracy classification, fell one spot to number 26.
Also, the charge of violating the Espionage Act is the least of Trump's worries there. Failing to respond to TWO subpoenas...and not subpoenas from a House Committee, subpoenas from the Department of Justice brings with it the very likely charge of Obstruction of Justice. Possible 10 year prison sentence.
They also have identified 18 U.S. Code § 1519 as a possible charge (this is the one that makes people think there has to be a mole), and that brings with it a 20-year sentence.
All of that, combined with his Jan. 6 nonsense and his meddling in GA are huge issues for him. Weisselberg's 15 felonies are a big deal too, even if he says he is just going to slam the Organization and not any members of the family (I mean, really, how is that even possible), at a minimum there The Trump Organization is likely to be dissolved, and heavy fines will have to be paid. Will be interesting to see the results of all of this.

Justice MUST prevail here.
There is no justice. There is only the law and he has evaded its reach so far.

I believe there is justice, and I believe it will be served on him. He has been lucky AND protected in the past by being President and protected by a Republican Senate. He no longer has those protections. It matters not that he has gotten away with so much so far. He ramped up his criminality, AND has lost those protections.
His CFO is a member of the protected group and so will never do any time in any event.
Allen Weisselberg, former President Donald Trump's longtime top business lieutenant, pleaded guilty Thursday to all 15 criminal charges in a scheme that paid him lavish corporate benefits in off-the-books payments from the Trump Organization without paying taxes.
He is the criminal. Yet will skate while being used to target others (Trump in this case).
Just like the "mastermind" of the college scandal Rick Singer.
He has done zero time while the parents he targetted with his scheme that grossed him over $25 million have all gone to jail.

News Flash the US justice system relies on plea deals!

Tell us more, carmine. Exactly who is this "protected group?"
I can't believe you don't get banned on this website for posts like this.
You're too lazy or stupid to refute any of my assertions so you just want me banned.
You're acting like a nazi.
You're making my point.
So Trump defenders now are reduced to claiming that liberals are the real Nazis (you) and being actual Nazis (the post right after you). What a basket of deplorables.
So this entire raid- and YET ANOTHER “nothingburger” (Van Jones’ early and accurate assessment of the Russian Collusion Hoax) for the notjob lefties around here- was about trying to recover RussiaGate documents!?!?!
Did you even read what he declassified? Because he properly declassified some documents in January 2021 does not mean he's allowed to declassify any other document he wants at any time.
Let me post directly from the memorandum that his office released when the materials were designated to be declassified:
My decision to declassify materials within the binder is subject to the limits identified above and does not extend to materials that must be protected from disclosure pursuant to orders of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and does not require the disclosure of certain personally identifiable information or any other materials that must be protected from disclosure under applicable law. Accordingly, at my direction, the Attorney General has conducted an appropriate review to ensure that materials provided in the binder may be disclosed by the White House in accordance with applicable law.
MATERIALS WITHIN THE BINDER. Those documents sitting in boxes in his padlocked closet were not within that binder.
You're too lazy or stupid to refute any of my assertions so you just want me banned.
And it continues. Rather than try to argue the merits of your opinions you keep resorting to calling people stupid. Maybe since everybody you are arguing with sounds stupid, it could be because that's the only way we think you'll understand.

Carmine, you are predicting that Weisselberg "will never do any time" because of his status as a protected group member. That's a bold prediction and you stated it unequivocally without qualification. Would you be willing to put something behind it? Like if Weisselberg does end up serving time, and I predict that he will, would you be willing to leave LRC?
It's a fair bet. You would be putting some "skin in the game" regarding your prediction, which would show that you have some faith in it.
