Prosecutors have made clear they’ll do whatever necessary to try to get Weisselberg to flip. So they’ll obviously seek a harsh prison sentence. There’s no chance they seek probation or a fine if this heads to trial. And Weisselberg is surely figuring this out.
With these charges and this proof, Weisselberg will almost certainly be convicted. Hoping for acquittal is not a valid strategy for him. His only hope would be if the judge gives him a lenient sentence.
But with prosecutors being this aggressive yeah but instead can you get vanilla ice cream
Okay, long night, let’s try that one again…
But with prosecutors being this aggressive, if they ask for five years, and the judge is feeling lenient and gives him something like two years, that’s still two years too long for someone Weisselberg’s age.
Prosecutors have already signaled that they’ll go after Weisselberg’s kids if necessary to get him to flip. So even if he’s willing to send himself to prison, is he willing to send his kids? He’ll almost certainly end up having to face that choice.
We don’t know for certain what Weisselberg will do. But we can safely ignore anyone who says he’s facing a likely slap on the wrist, because that’s not reality. And as the days and weeks go on, Weisselberg’s current stance to not flip will be severely tested.
Also, unless he flips, Weisselberg is definitely not getting any vanilla ice cream 😆

1) Many of you have asked why so many loons (most of them on the LEFT, not the right) have come out of the woodwork the past few weeks to stalk me and spread conspiracy theories about me. Well, it began when news broke that a grand jury was empaneled to bring Trump indictments.
2) For years, numerous liberal pundits big and small have built their brand around insisting Trump would get away with it all (it scares you into paying attention to them). Many of these pundits spent years loudly mocking me for daring to say that Trump would end up indicted.
3) In fact a whole lot of liberal pundits – ranging from the pundits at major news sites, to the obscure wannabe pundits who just the troll bigger liberal pundits for a living – spent years building their brand by telling their liberal audiences that Palmer Report was fake news.
If Weisselberg does end up flipping, he’ll still spend every minute between now and then trying to convince everyone (us, prosecutors, even himself) that he’ll never flip. So you can’t say “He hired this lawyer, filed this paperwork, it means he’ll never flip.” Not how it works.
If you plan to go on a trip, you’re going to do everything that needs to be done in order to go on that trip, even if you think it might fall through. You’ll buy a ticket when you need to, and so on. You might do it all with an eye toward being able to undo it. But you do it.
Of course Weisselberg has hired attorneys with a speciality of fighting these kinds of charges. If he failed to hire these kinds of attorneys, he’d be closing the door to fighting this. And for now he still wants to fight it. Tells us nothing about whether he’ll flip later.
When Trump was in office, he knew he could block federal prosecution, so he’d confess to his crimes and try to play them down. For him it was a PR game. That’s why he confessed last night. But he apparently forgot he’s no longer in office and is vulnerable to prosecution. Oops 😆
We’ll see if New York prosecutors view Trump’s confession last night as having been direct enough to use as evidence. But either way, he’s flaunting his crimes at this point, which surely deepens the resolve of those prosecutors to see this through and indict him.
Does Trump honestly believe he’s still in office?
Is he unaware that these are state, not federal, charges?
We just caught a Wikipedia editor saying this in the talk section: "If a majority of the Palmer Report's peers (or rivals/competitors) call the blog a conspiracy site, then Wikipedia is obligated to follow their lead." Think we now have grounds for serious legal action.
This Wikipedia editor keeps digging himself a deeper hole.
Now he's insisting that I'm "not fully there look up blue anon if you have to And the fact the evidence shows all there that he is a conspiracy theorist."
Huh?
Again this is a Wikipedia editor talking in public 🙄
This same Wikipedia editor is continuing to falsely claim that I tried to "doxx" him – which I obviously did not. Yet another individual who's so obsessed with destroying me, he's willing to risk destroying himself in the process. Profoundly disturbing.
It’s been clear since November 2019 that if Trump lost reelection, he’d end up on a path to prison in New York.
It’s not “speculative” or a “conspiracy theory” to say that Donald Trump is going to prison. It’s the real story. It has been for a year and a half. Now it’s underway.
Stop acting like Palmer Report is doing something weird by saying it. Stop asking why we’ve been the only one saying it for the past year and a half. Start asking the rest of the media why they spent all that time ignoring the fact that New York indictments would come if he lost.
This week’s indictments, which are an obvious precursor for Trump himself being indicted, were always going to happen. Always. Why do you think New York went after his tax returns and banking records and such? This has been an ongoing active criminal investigation since 2019.
I’m tired of being targeted, stalked, and harassed by fucking psychos.
TO be clear, most the psychos who do this stuff to me are liberals, and half of them are journalists. They don't do it over a difference of political views; they do it either because they're mentally unstable, or out of professional jealousy.
My political analysis is not remotely controversial (or even important enough) for multiple journalists at major news outlets to have derailed their careers while trying to smear me. And yet it's happened. People (on my political side) destroy themselves trying to destroy me.
