Manhattan Prosecutors Hand Weisselberg A Sweetheart Deal

[Me.]

THey have made a deal with Weisselberg. He pleads guilty and gets 5 months. But he's not talking so the prosecutors get nothing.

THat is to say, we the people get nothing.

[Walleye]

1. What they got him on did seem kind of penny ante compared to everything else

Maybe he will feel like talking after a month or two in the slammer

[Me.]

2. It's Not Penny Ante

He 's part of a criminal enterprise and the guy who moved the money around and kept 2 sets of books for tfg. THey should've given him serious time.

[Walleye]

9. Yes it really was part of a scheme. I don't understand the license

[Sneederbunk]

3. For you or me it would be the slammer. For him, probably a suite.

[Me.]

6. Exactly

and this isn't the first time...Vance let them off the hook too.

[Walleye]

10. It's less than a year maybe he'll go to Rikers

[Me.]

16. THat Would Be Something

But I get he gets a cushy place

4. Is Bragg striking again to let trump's camp off the hook?

[Me.]

7. Seems So

[budkin]

13. Absolutely

He needs to be investigated for a payoff.

[Jarqui]

5. I think that is appalling

He was indicted for 15 counts

Doesn't pass the smell test

[Me.]

8. No It Does Not

14. Maybe the word is he is not cooperating.........but really is... YMMV...nt

11. I can see him pleading, getting 5 months,

But that would only be because he sang like a canary.

Pleads guilty, gets 5 lousy months, and DOESN’T TELL THEM ANYTHING, well, very little??????

I’m terrible at strategy and chess and negotiations, but even I know that that stinks for the “people’.

WTAF

Unless part of the deal was that he DID spill his guts, but they keep that secret so his life is not in danger since he will be incarcerated for a period of time. If someone is a snitch, they can face danger inside. Maybe this is how they are going to get the goods on Trump.

Just hoping there’s more to this.

12. My thoughts went there too. That's cuz want so hard to believe justice will prevail in Manhattan

as well as DC.

15. I Doubt THat Is So

history with NY DAs says it isn't

[Chainfire]

17. The bigger you are the softer you fall.

[BootinUp]

18. This was just discussed on Lawrence O, and it was explained

I think it was Kirschner who explained, that the guilty plea means that the Trump Company is done.

[sarcasmo]

19. Wesley Snipes did 3 years and fined 5 million.
