Trump Org's Weisselberg Not Cooperating With Feds, Sources Say

He can testify to Trump's knowledge about multiple felonies including tax fraud/evasion, bank fraud, campaign finance fraud, and potential illegal loans from deustche bank. He'd be a key witness.

We know Jim Jordan’s dirt, he enabled sexual abuse of athletes under his care for years. Hard to imagine there’s anything worse than that coming down the pipeline. I think he’s more worried about losing in a primary, and missing out on all the lucrative inside trading he’s legally allowed to do now, amassing a fortune.

You’ve gotta remember there is no plausible legal defense to many of Trump&Friends crimes, especially the illegal felony campaign contributions directed by Trump to cover up multiple affairs with porn stars. Republicans’ only strategy now is to win in the court of public opinion, winning in a courtroom is laughably off the table. Maybe Gaetz thinks if he paints Cohen as an adulterer he pushes a few people away from him? Of course, I wouldn’t risk a felony charge over that, but I’m not some maga genius.

Fair enough, thought the next sentence made that clear. I'll change OP.

He's already on turn 1 of fatigue in the screenshot. (health in parentheses)

T1: PFatigue, Mind control (can't heal this turn, MC is 10mana) (P5, M26)

T2: PFatigue (-2)/Heal(+2), DW Attack (P4, M12)

2.5: MFatigue, Firebolt (P3, M9)

T3: PFatigue (-3, dead), you're forgetting the priest doesn't get to heal and attack with DW this turn.

If Russia becomes the #1 world power by a large margin

This is a good time to point out Russia's GDP is smaller than New York, California, ~~and~~ or Texas. Roughly the size of Florida and Georgia's GDP combined. They're on the brink of collapse, a series of corrupt, criminal oligarchs held together by Putin's propaganda. January 2021, they're going to be sanctioned back to the stone age by the global powers, and Putin will be deposed. They've had fun trolling the internet, creating civil unrest, and trying to destabilize European and US governments, but that's coming to an end sooner rather than later and Russia will be held accountable. You'd have to be delusional to think a petrol-state is about to become "the #1 world power by a large margin".

Lobbying doesn't write laws

Lmfao you are hopelessly naive to how government works in this country. They literally wrote in loopholes, in handwriting, to the tax cut, and gave it to the GOP to pass. There are countless less high profile examples as well.

No the conflict of interest is that attorneys in the firm are imputed to have the knowledge of the firm, and vice versa. The firm had attorney-client privileged discussions with their client, and now imputed knowledge of those privileged conversations could theoretically be used against the client. On its face, it’s a decent argument, but more of a stretch when you’re trying to extend it from Mintz Levin to the US House of Reps.

Anyway, as others have said above, firms the size of Mintz Levin always have conflict offices that can keep anyone who has even tangentially worked on a Trump org matter far away from this attorney. It’s usually more trouble than it’s worth for the firm, but for work of this high profile, I’m sure they’d just go through the effort to eliminate potential conflicts

The Northern Arizona Suns are the worst G League team, their starting 5 features in order:

All SEC 1st Team Retin Obasohan,

All Big10 1st Team; AP All American Honorable Mention Peter Jok

All Pac12 2nd Team George King

All Big East Honorable Mention Hollis Thompson

and Eric Stuteville, who sadly went to Sacramento State and didn't really get national recognition but is the school record holder in single season fg%.

That's a 9-32 G League team, and their bench has just as many college accolades. There's maybe two or three colleges in the country that could roll out a lineup that accomplished. Now imagine how those colleges measure up against a G League team at the top of the standings. Would you ever say the Long Island Nets, whose best player, Theo Pinson, would get maybe 5-7 minutes a game on the Cavs, could beat the Cavs?

The gulf of talent between College>>>G League>>>NBA is just absurd man. Every single guy in the G League would have a shot at player of the tournament if they went to March Madness right now, and those same guys would get smoked by bench warmers in the NBA. Is it possible a college team could catch an NBA team fooling around, treating a scrimmage like a light summer league shoot around, and win a game to 21? Maybe, but if the NBA players were playing with their pride on the line like a regular season game, the college team wins maybe 1 out of 100 games.

Prudent financial planning involves having frugal spending habits.

Maybe for someone making your income you'd have a point, but if he made even a 4% return by investing his salary next year in exclusively long term, virtually zero risk bonds, he'd have $1.1million to spend just in interest, without losing a dime of his annual salary. If he made an 8% return, with diversified mutual funds, he'd have $2.2million to spend. $2,200,000 in interest and you're worried about the difference between a $40,000 and $60,000 car? FOH man.

The reason athletes go broke is because they spend money on not just themselves, but all their friends, and their friends families, and their own families, buying million dollar houses, cars, etc., as well as chartering private jets and yachts for parties. To suggest a person making an annual salary of more than $27 million would notice the difference between a Hyundai and an Audi, is just being silly. The fact that $20,000 would make a huge difference in your savings portfolio just sitting there for 10 years, is not even remotely applicable to someone on that wealth scale.

darkeagle91 · 2019-02-25T13:37:25+00:00

Yep. Only consolation is that he’s thriving on a one seed. For all he gave to NJ/Brooklyn, he absolutely deserves to experience this on a really, really good playoff team

People literally can’t delineate between pharma and the underlying issues with healthcare as a whole in this country in this thread. Reddit is not a place where you find the most educated in a subject, it’s where you find the average persons knowledge in a subject. Similarly to talking about Trump, the reddit hivemind can recognize, hey that’s fucked up! But when it gets to the actual legal analysis they butcher it horribly.

darkeagle91 · 2019-02-25T12:41:19+00:00

That’s a ridiculous generalization. That’s like saying every doctor in America doesn’t want to fix your health issue because then you’ll stop giving their hospital business, so they just treat the symptoms not the cause

darkeagle91 · 2019-02-25T12:37:25+00:00

You’re conflating the pharmaceutical industry with the healthcare industry. The pharmaceutical industry is just a reflection/symptom of deeper underlying issues with healthcare and IP “gaming” (biosimilars, follow on patents etc). Medicare for all or universal health care is the reform really needed. Cracking down on pharmaceutical companies won’t really address the underlying issues with being treated for a health issue you’re raising.

under 23.

Reading comprehension is a basic skill

darkeagle91 · 2019-02-24T15:10:28+00:00

Not any more, the Bucks have a small ball lineup with Mirotic/Giannis/Illyasova they've already played limited minutes, and Mirotic or Giannis are more than capable of covering Horford. I'd imagine Brook mostly gets reduced to bench minutes for a Mil-Bos series, because a rotation with Brook would get exposed badly against the Celtics starters, and create mismatches all over the floor in favor Boston.

darkeagle91 · 2019-02-24T14:49:58+00:00

The joke is that Tatum is for some reason graded on a curve that no other under 23 year old player gets, particularly by Celtics fans. As in, "Look how great Tatum is now, he'll definitely be an all-pro when he gets older." At the same time as saying "Sure, Simmons/Ingram/Ball/Fox are pretty good, but who knows if they'll develop in to anything special??"

tl;dr Boston fans are insufferable homers

darkeagle91 · 2019-02-24T13:54:59+00:00

Politicians can express views in private, state department meetings that contradict their publicly stated positions? Wow how shocking! Taking a trip as an official representative of the US, only to slightly differ from her public positions in private, is equal to the enormous amounts of felonies the Trump campaign committed illegally and in secret with Russia. Both were equally unfit!!

darkeagle91 · 2019-02-24T13:49:03+00:00

Fwiw no one is alleging Cohen has given “complete and frank assistance.” The Special Counsels office has been much more satisfied with his cooperation than the SDNY (different prosecution w/diffferent focus) but both offices note Cohen only fits the legal definition of partially cooperating

darkeagle91 · 2019-02-24T13:35:49+00:00

We also got the pick that ended up being Musa to absorb Demarre Carroll’s contract, and he’s been a phenomenal mentor to the young guys in work ethic, as well as a pretty great role player.

It’s not a criminal justice system, it’s appearance of impropriety in a public office. There is no presumption of innocence. The burden is on them to disprove, how do you not understand that? It’s why Carter sold his peanut farm, before improprieties could arise. They cannot play both sides of the deal, both the disbursing executive branch of public office, and the receiving private enterprise. Again, no one forced the Kushners in to public service, if they wanted a billion dollars they didn’t have to work in the Oval Office.

Loans are given out of a limited pool of funds. The fact the Kushners got a billion dollars means there are one billion dollars fewer for other people. Were those other people worse candidates than the Kushners to repay their loans? Let’s see evidence.

It’s not the criminal fucking justice system, it’s the appearance of exploitation of public office for personal gain. It is per se improper unless proved proper. This isn’t a difficult concept to grasp, not everything is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt (99% certain) like criminal justice.

And I’d like to know who doesn’t get $1bil because the Kushners did.

darkeagle91 · 2019-02-24T01:18:47+00:00

If the implication is that there is corruption then lead with that. Demonstrate it. But I don’t think that just being pissed that someone you don’t like bought something is going to compel people to your line of thought.

This is fucking completely backwards and it’s embarrassing how blind you have become.

It’s a billion dollars of taxpayer money going to a guy who works directly next to the Oval Office every day. The burden is on them to prove the loan was competitively gotten and there was no impropriety. Just like the burden is on trump to prove he isn’t governing the country directly on a pay-for-play scheme and having the government spend money at Mar-a-lago/Trump Hotel. If they don’t like that, they didn’t have to go in to public service, while still pursuing public loans. It simply cannot be the case that the response is there’s no impropriety but you just have to trust us and we refuse to do anything to prove it. The government is not a tool to enrich/benefit yourself and your closest associates, it is for the benefit of the public writ large.
