Is Manhattan DA Cy Vance Getting Ready To Grab Trumpland Exec Matthew Calamari By The Pornstache?

Don't sleep on Cyrus Vance Jr.! Yesterday he ushered two more Trump Org employees into the grand jury to testify about the interesting compensation arrangements at the former president's eponymous business. This ain't over!

Remember how Manhattan District Attorney Vance indicted the company and its longtime CFO Allen Weisselberg in July for dodging tax liability by disguising compensation as untaxed job perks? Looks like the DA is still pulling on that thread. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week that senior Trump Org finance exec Jeffrey McConney, who testified before the Weisselberg indictment dropped, was headed in for a second round of chitchat with the jurors.

That guy just can't stay away! Because who wouldn't want to pay their lawyers thousands of dollars an hour for the pleasure of being questioned by someone looking to paint you as complicit in a multi-decade scheme to defraud Uncle Sam, right?

And making his grand jury debut is newcomer Matthew Calamari Jr., the Trump Organization's 28-year-old corporate director of security, who testified yesterday. Please do not confuse him with his father, Matthew Calamari Sr., a Trump executive who impressed the former president by body-slamming hecklers at the 1981 US Open and has been with the family ever since. Calamari Sr. has long been rumored to be willing to get his hands dirty for the boss, and it appears that the boss may have actually been willing to return the favor. The Journal reported back in June that both father and son lived in Trump properties (oh, hey, just like Allen Weisselberg and his dipshit kid who ran Wolman ice rink for the Trump Org), and that Calamari Sr. owns a home outside the city where taxes are lower (again, like Allen Weisselberg) and drove Mercedes leased by the company (one more time for the cheap seats).
