Trump Financial Crimes Thread 1/
Now that Jared is getting caught in the Sanctions-Busting part of Trumpomobster crimes, some are asking 'what is this crime'? Let's dig into the Trump financial crimes (all involving Weisselberg of course)
Let's do a thread
Trump Financial Crimes Thread 2/
Tax Fraud is a very easy simple crime to explain, and the JURY are shared victims, because tax crimes against all, involve the rest of us having to pay higher taxes to cover the cheat. Which is why tax fraud crimes are relatively easy convictions
Trump Financial Crimes 3/
Weisselberg 1 the first Trump tax criminal trial is simple Tax Fraud, and run by Manhattan DA, which has the largest pool of financial criminal investigators in the world. They have all the evidence, tax returns, Deutsche Bank records, witnesses
Trump Financial Crimes 4/
The current indictement of Weisselberg is of 15 counts (and 10 counts of Trump Org), that cover 15 years of tax fraud, so most of it before Trump became President. The current indictment carries 12 years of prison time for Allen, a bit more for Trump
Trump Financial Crimes 5/
It is absolutely certain, Weisselberg will be convicted of this crime of Tax Fraud in New York & get years of prison time. Absolutely certain. It is also absolutely certain, Trump will get SAME criminal conviction, later of this SAME crime but more time
Trump Financial Crimes 6/
Like ANY Mafia trial, the boss goes last. In this case:
1 Michael Cohen
2 Allen Weisselberg
3 Trump kids: Don Jr, Ivanka, Eric
4 Donald Trump
Trump will be TRIED last, but he will get more than 12 years on tax fraud
I promise you this
Trump Financial Crimes 7/
The SECOND Weisselberg trial is ONGOING criminal investigation in STATE of New York
It is NOT run by Manhattan DA. It is run by New York Attorney General. It is MORE SERIOUS crime than tax fraud
It is Money Laundering by Trump & Weisselberg
Trump Financial Crimes 8/
Money Laundering is a financial crime by which proceeds of a crime (selling drugs) are laundered to be clean, that can be processed safely in say the banking system. It is what Mafia criminals do, to turn their cash into money they can use.
Trump Financial Crimes 9/
Trump has been laundering money for US Mafia for 3 decades at least, likely his whole career. His casinos in New Jersey were notorious for money laundering. Trump has also laundered money for Russian Mafia for at least two decades.
Trump Financial Crimes 10/
Money laundering is a far more serious crime, carries prison time counted in decades, not years. I estimated that at a MINIMUM Weisselberg will get 15+15 years of prison time for HIS role in Trump money laundering. Trump at minimum will get same 15+15
Trump Financial Crimes 11/
A Money Laundering case is FAR more difficult to prove because the ORIGIN of the money is always corrupt. And it has to be HANDED by the Mafia criminal to the money launderer. Here the IDEAL way to get a conviction is a witness on the inside
Trump Financial Crimes 12/
This is the BIGGER play out of Weisselberg tax fraud. They want Weisselberg to flip on ALL Trump crimes, including Money Laundering. Note that at least the boys, Don Jr and Eric know at least about the Russian Mafia money, they too will flip
Trump Financial Crimes 13/
The New York tax criminal case is open-and-shut conviction. Court will take a few months. Weisselberg is convicted (he is highly likely to flip & plead guilty). Then NEXT YEAR we get Ivanka, Don Jr, Eric trials. Each also will be short, each will flip
Trump Financial Crimes 14/
The Money Laundering case comes AFTER Trump has been CONVICTED of Tax Fraud. It will include testimony of Weisselberg, Don Jr, Eric (& likely Jeff McConney & Michael Cohen & others)
It becomes EASIER to try a CONVICTED FELON of more financial crimes
Trump Financial Crimes 15/
Like Trump tax fraud in NY, Trump Money Laundering in NY is a MAFIA trial. The boss is tried LAST. So the Money Laundering trials won't even START until Trump is CONVICTED of Tax Fraud. And that case is at Weisselberg first court date Sept 20, 2021
Trump Financial Crimes 16/
If you think Money Laundering for Mafia is bad, Trump has done worse. From 2014 to 2017 Trump was involved in Sanctions Busting
In 2014 Russia/Putin invaded Crimea, took the peninsula by force from Ukraine. Russia is STILL under sanctions for it
Trump Financial Crimes 17/
The Sanctions Obama slapped on Russia are harshest ever by USA, worse than Reagan after (then) Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. Financial PENALTY to Putin for stealing territory of its neighbor & US ally, Ukraine
Trump organized BYPASS of sanctions
Trump Financial Crimes 18/
That is what Sanctions Busting is. It is a FEDERAL crime, not State crime. It is CURRENLY being investigated by DOJ, in conjunction with New York, related to Weisselberg and Deutsche Bank documents. DB is Putin's go-to bank for bypassing sanctions
Trump Financial Crimes 19/
Sanctions Busting is like Money Laundering but on the international stage. It is a TREASONOUS crime against the USA, and in favor of an ENEMY of the USA. Sanctions Busting prison time is measured in LIFE sentences without parole
Trump Financial Crimes 20/
Like Money Laundering, the Sanctions Busting trial will wait, until Trump is convicted of tax fraud. It also is a Mafia trial, Trump will be tried last. When Weisselberg, Don Jr & Eric flip, they have to ALSO flip on this crime. And now we add Jared
Trump Financial Crimes 21/
There are OTHER financial crimes involving Weisselberg (inaugration, campaign, emoluments etc). These are LESSER crimes
Trump has OTHER crimes also coming with Giuliani, Roger Stone etc, and January 6th. They take TIME
NY Taxes are NEAREST to trial
