For Trump, Criminal Fraud Case Looms As Well

Let’s not forget that the criminal case against Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg is just one more iron in the fire when it comes to sending the former president to prison.

From this:

A New York State judge ruled Friday that a criminal fraud and tax evasion prosecution against the Trump Organization and its former CFO, Allen Weisselberg, can proceed.

Weisselberg and the company asked a judge in February to dismiss all 15 counts charged against them. Judge Juan Merchan dismissed one of several tax fraud counts against the Trump Organization, but allowed all others to remain.

I don’t know the first thing about Weisselberg, other than that the sheer scope of the charges he’s facing will, if he’s convicted, send him away for several decades, which, one would think, would be a powerful incentive to “flip” on his former boss.

I’ll admit that there is very little “sexy” about fraud, and even less about tax evasion.  It’s clear from what we already know that Trump committed treason, by sending a mob he knew to be armed to go to the Capitol and “fight like hell.”  Finding Trump guilty here would be much more satisfying to all Americans who care about justice.
