So who is that Unindicted Co-Conspirator, Jeff McConney. He is the number 2 bookkeeper at Trump Org. Right hand man to Weisselberg. The Controller. So an accountant for 30 years with Trump. Is cooperating and has limited immunity for testifying to Grand Jury. This guy
What Jeff McConney testimony means, is the final nail to the Weisselberg 1 trial series of New York tax fraud. Because Manhattan DA has the double bookkeeping, all they need is this inside guy to tell what that bookkeeping is, and this case is closed
They do not NEED Weisselberg
Because the number 2 bookkeeper is testifying to Grand Jury, gets immunity, he will not be indicted. He will not go to prison (but will have to pay his own back taxes of course, which likely are of a scale of half a million dollars, when we compare to Weisselberg one million)
Because Jeff McConney testimony is all that is needed to prove INTENTIONAL tax fraud. It means
Weisselberg gets 5 years & pay $1M in back taxes and 2x penalty = $3M
Ivanka, Don Jr, Eric likely all get same, 5 years + $3M
Calamari, Hope Hicks, Rhona Graff etc likely 3 yrs + $1M
Note Weisselberg is also indicted on Grand Larceny (up to 15 years in prison, I estimate he gets 7 years on top of hte 5 in above). This Jeff McConney testimony will help - but not necessarily convince jury of this crime. If someone else flips like Ivanka, Don Jr, would nail it
Understand. This Jeff McConney testimony GUARANTEES that the Hitler Jugend kids go to prison. It is only a question of how much time. If they do not flip, they do about 5 years inside. First to flip, gets sentence like Michael Cohen, 3 years, out in 2.
Of course they will flip
Meanwhile Trump himself? This is a Mafia trial. The boss is ALWAYS tried last. The sequence is:
1 Michael Cohen
2 Weisselberg
3 Trump kids Don Jr, Eric, Ivanka
4 Trump himself
Trump is CERTAIN to be convicted of intentional tax fraud. And the Manhattan DA told us there is someone
Manhattan DA said in indicting Weisselberg, that his tax crime is ONE of the biggest (but thus, is not biggest). We can be CERTAIN that the biggest tax fraud was Trump himself. I estimated his tax debt to be worth approx $20 million, with penalties, he pays $60 million
If Weisselberg gets 5 years prison for systematic deliberate tax fraud covering 15 years - and Trump committed that SAME fraud (in larger amount), Trump gets at least that same 5 years
The Grand Larceny 7 years, Trump will get this too. At least 7 years.
So 12 years for Trump
PS remember
Manhattan DA tax fraud case is Weisselberg 1, out of 5 separate criminal cases involving Trump. The next Weisselberg trials carry FAR MORE prison time
Beyond financial crimes by Trump, come Giuliani related crimes, Roger Stone related crimes, January 6th crimes etc
PS PS
If you want to understand Trump total criminal exposure, I write the first estimate anywhere, of total prison time coming to Trump, on all his crimes like Weisselberg-related, Giuliani-related etc. It is here
We have developing story, early Friday morning. Allen Weisselberg's sons ex-wife, Jennifer Weisselberg is testifying that she HEARD Trump promise to pay their kids tuition, instead of giving a raise to her husband. This to avoid the taxes
Game. Set. And Match

With news of a silly CPAC straw poll (Ron DeSantis will not be GOP nominee in 2024) that had Trump overwhelmingly winning the poll, let's take a first look at 2024 election and GOP nomination race. It is highly likely Joe will face Trump
First look at 2024 & 2028 Thread 2/
The CPAC poll is meaningless. I discussed it in this thread, showing past CPAC polls and the math, that the chances of the poll picking the GOP nominee is 13%. It is meaningless. It is SUMMER news FILLER garbage
In any normal election, the losing candidate - on BOTH sides - steps aside:
Hillary
Romney
McCain
Kerry
Gore
Dole
Daddy Bush
Mondale
Carter
Ford
McGovern
Humphrey
It is how US politics works. You don't piss in your own party's pool to lose 2x
CPAC met last weekend in Texas. They had a straw poll. Trump came on top of the straw poll (of course). When they asked if Trump is NOT on the ticket 2024, who do they want. Overwhelmingly CPAC straw poll picked this racist asshole bastard from Florida
CPAC Straw Poll Thread 2/
First. Let's be VERY clear. Florida's racist sexist mass murderer asshole Governor Death DeSantis #DeathSantis is a monster. He is Trump on steroids. He is living breathing proof of what becomes of GOP as they get ever more insane with the Maga sickness
CPAC Straw Poll Thread 3/
It is GOOD for us to consider the evil that is Ron DeSantis, so we see where the GOP is headed
But people are freaking out about the CPAC Straw Poll. As if Ron DeSantis is the 'front runner' of the 2024 GOP race for Presidential Nominee
Second thing. What was Qevin McCarthy doing meeting Trump? It is early case study that illustrates the GOP nightmare that is Donald Trump
When they said this meeting is about 2022 election, we know that is not it. Both will lie instinctively to hide the truth.
Qevin was in NJ to meet Trump to discuss the Jan 6th Committee. The appointments. Qevin (and GOP) are at loggerheads with Trump. It is a lose-lose situation. But Qevin (and GOP) will face this same nightmare again, and again, and again going forward into 2022 and 2024 (and 2028)
Qevin thought he was doing what was best for GOP by refusing to name any GOP representatives to the House Select Committee on Jan 6th (Pelosi's Committee). She had foreseen this, made the rules give her TWO extra seats. She gave one of her extra seats to Liz Cheney the Republican
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
