Officially the Trump Crime Family.

 The Trump organization was always an ongoing criminal enterprise, everybody knew this, it's about time the courts made it official.

 If DeSantis and Florida Republicans have any balls at all they won't give Trump's criminal business any safe harbor.

How is it that Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg gets 5 months of jail for this, and donald f-ing trump, who clearly knew about this scheme, gets off scot-free?

The plea agreement he was granted was insanely generous to both himself and trump. How in the hell do you score a plea where you agree to testify against the trump org. but not trump himself?  If I had been the judge in this case I would not have allowed that. Weisselberg would have had to sing like a canary or he would have had to face the full charges and all those years of prison time. His choice.

If they can prove he lied he goes to jail for years automatically, but given the conviction they're probably not going to pursue that.

*sigh* It was a colorful way of saying that this won't bring down Trump. If I had just wrote, "this won't bring down Trump," you wouldn't give that response, right? The cope in some of you is reaching historic levels. Stay safe. If you need a shoulder to lean on, I'm here.

Some Trump Organizations, I assume, are owned by good people.

This is about the Stormy Daniels hush money. It's the best thread I could find that's not ancient.

Manhattan Prosecutors Will Begin Presenting Trump Case to Grand Jury
The Manhattan district attorney’s decision represents a dramatic escalation of the inquiry, and potentially sets the case on a path toward criminal charges against the former president.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office on Monday began presenting evidence to a grand jury about Donald J. Trump’s role in paying hush money to a porn star during his 2016 presidential campaign, laying the groundwork for potential criminal charges against the former president in the coming months, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The grand jury was recently impaneled, and the beginning of witness testimony represents a clear signal that the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, is nearing a decision about whether to charge Mr. Trump.

On Monday, one of the witnesses was seen with his lawyer entering the building in Lower Manhattan where the grand jury is sitting. The witness, David Pecker, is the former publisher of The National Enquirer, the tabloid that helped broker the deal with the porn star, Stormy Daniels.

Key excerpt:

A conviction is not a sure thing, in part because a case could hinge on showing that Mr. Trump and his company falsified records to hide the payout from voters days before the 2016 election, a low-level felony charge that would be based on a largely untested legal theory. The case would also rely on the testimony of Michael D. Cohen, Mr. Trump’s former fixer who made the payment and who himself pleaded guilty to federal charges related to the hush money in 2018.

…

The district attorney’s office now appears to be focusing on whether erroneously classifying the payments to Mr. Cohen as a legal expense ran afoul of a New York law that prohibits the falsifying of business records.

Violations of that law can be charged as a misdemeanor. To make it a felony, Mr. Bragg’s prosecutors would need to show that Mr. Trump falsified the records to help commit or conceal a second crime — in this case, violating a New York State election law, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. That second aspect has largely gone untested, and would therefore make for a risky legal case against any defendant, let alone the former president.
