I wonder what the Mazars backpeddling on Trump's tax returns will do to Weisselberg.

[Beastly Boy]

He was the one who was submitting fake data for Trump's tax returns to Mazars. Ten years of fraud confirmed by a top accounting firm.

Trump may have a legitimate excuse to throw Weisselberg under the bus now, and Weisselberg may be looking forward to losing everything except his moustache. I wonder if this will loosen his tongue.

[Effete Snob]

1. Imagine how disappointed Trump must be that Weisselberg gave Mazar's bad numbers

lol

[Thomas Hurt]

3. He just got covfefe. Hardly knew him. Like Rudy.

[Dorian Gray]

29. hah

devastated.

[global1]

2. Now Tr**p Has Weisselberg And Mazars To Blame....nt

[dchill]

4. "I haven't spoken to him in years."

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. That is right! Allen Weisselberg is in deep shit like TDFG is.

With Mazars.

If the CFO submitted the financial data, Weisselberg has just increased his culpability in this mess.

[WA-03 Democrat]

9. People do go to jail for this

Enron being one example. Me thinks he would rather do the Russian window drop. That works for me but please chain the rest of the traitors so it's just one big scum splat on the street.

[PJMcK]

24. "... one big scum splat on the street"

That's such a graphic description. I like it!

[keithbvadu2]

6. Also Trump's personal notes?

Also Trump's personal notes?

Other articles mentioned that some of the financial work papers had Trump's personal notes on them so he cannot claim to not seeing the papers/figures.

8. Doesn't Stop Him From Saying

"I can't remember. You know those numbers were very large...er, not so large..huuuuge...not so huuuuge...they were perfect...in every way...when's lunch again?"

Seriously, the underlings will get some type of punishment. The higher ups, not so much. That's how the system has always worked. Sacrifice the small folks, give the higher ups a slap on the wrist or maybe a dirty look.

I mean this stuff has been going on decades and its only the fact that TFG was POTUS that this is on the NY DA's radar.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

22. Hoping not. Remember Michael Cohen testifying that FG

Fully instructed them in dummying up statements. Now granted, not a stellar witness, but if they can get others to say same thing.

[modrepub]

28. If You're Hoping That A Conviction or Plea

will damage TFG's aura, you're sadly mistaken. Affairs, lying, being aloof, getting vaxed or any other repugnant thing you can think of hasn't shaken the hold this person has on a significant segment of our country.

TBH, there's a real anger in a large segment of our society. A lot of politicians (and broadcasters), including TFG, have made careers out of exploiting this anger for their own advantage. They aren't into solving it because then it would remove their power.

For the rest of us, trying to dilute this anger is probably in our best interest. But to be honest, I think you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. My only real answer to this dichotomy is to try and extend a helping hand to those in need but to make sure it's not close enough to these folks for them to bite it.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

30. Yes. Talking only about trump being indicted for tax fraud.

[WA-03 Democrat]

7. It's the mob and Mazars

was just happy to take the money and look the other way. Weisselberg and his family are damned if he does and damned if he does not. He has not help so he is firmly in the damned if he does not and is pulling for Putin to make this mess go away. Time is of the essences.

[fightforfreedom]

10. His trial starts this summer.

Man, it's hard to keep track of all the trials, investigations, subpoenas that are taking place this year. It's wonderful

[Claustrum]

12. Yes.

If we go back a few months, we all felt like nothing has moved forward on the legal front for Trump. But now, everything that were working in the background at that time are now surfacing as the investigations are coming near the end.

[2naSalit]

11. Definitely gonna leave a mark.

[malaise]

13. He'll die of 'wink wink'

natural causes before his 75th birthday

[gab13by13]

14. Screw Weisselberg, prosecute him.

The Mazar accountant knows almost as much about Trump's dealings as Weisselberg. Throw the book at Weisselberg, then maybe he will flip, if not, throw the crook in jail.

[KPN]

15. Seems like someone lower in the Mazars hierarchy

will be a fall guy as well. How does a corporation disavow its financial documents over 10 years without having someone(s) down the line that they can blame for discrediting their good standing?

[gab13by13]

18. The Mazar accountant testified before the grand jury.

In New York you get immunity from prosecution. The Mazar accountant got a get out of jail card because he is flipping on Trump and the kids.

[KPN]

23. Lol. Wasn't aware of that detail. Wonder if

anyone else at Mazars will be held culpable or was that person in the highest position involved in the trump org fraud.

[NotHardly]

16. Weisselberg is exposed 10 years of misdeeds with the Mazars dumping Trump as a client

Anyone connected with the function, operations, and signing/distribution of those documents over the last 10 years are fully exposed as those documents are now in the hands of the January 6 Commission... I don't know if I can buy that much popcorn.

[monkeyman1]

17. It all go's back to the "TDFG & FAMILY " !

[C Moon]

19. tfg is probably on the phone promising everyone that he'll pardon them when he's reelected.

And together they will conquer the world.

[multigraincracker]

20. Most likely he is craping his depends so bad

they need to be changed hourly

[machoneman]

21. This action by Mazars will really eff-up TFP's ability to squirm out of this one.

Aside from legal & criminal actions, banks will start calling his loans on everything, including his foreign holdings. Hopefully, he will need Russkie money from Putin's pals, calls and email to be intercepted by every US agency from the FBI, Treasury and maybe even the NSA!

I also hope this kills that smarmy son-in-laws efforts to gain loans and backing for his foreign adventures with the Saudis and other Gulf potentates. Perhaps the banks will also quickly move to seize his many land assets (Trump Tower, the golf courses, maybe even Mara-doggo!) as collateral for his inability to cover loans. Oh, and you know that Ivanka, the sons and even Jared signed docs made up by Mazar's staff.

Man, he and his entire family are finally in deep shit, regardless of criminal charges sure to come.

Go USA justice!

[Mazeltov Cocktail]

25. Someone at the Trump Organization authorized the false financial statements...

Mazars is going to say it was Trump and Weisselberg...
Trump is going to say it was Mazels and Weisselberg...
It's going to be interesting to see who Weisselberg says is responsible...

That bus that everyone is being thrown under better be the size of an aircraft carrier 🚌

[Deuxcents]

26. Hmmm. I thought Weisselberg had been interviewed a while back

Did he plead the 5th or who am I thinking about..there’s so many involved.

[Beastly Boy]

27. He was interviewed a bunch of times by the Manhttan DA's office.

It was rumored that the DA put a lot of pressure on him to get him to testify against Trump, with no success. I was wondering if the new Mazars revelations would make him sing louder the next time around.
