2. Former U.S. tax prosecutor @AGOSTINOLAW:
Vance "sent a message that this is an exit ramp for Weisselberg that he should have taken already and, if he doesn't, everything he knows and loves in this world is fair game."

"Agostino ... said it was a smart move to charge the company now rather than wait to see if the other investigative areas lead to charges. 'By making him a beneficiary and a dispenser of the illegal loot they put him in as a co-conspirator.'"
