Trump was right… it has always been a witch-hunt orchestrated by the politically motivated Manhattan DA, Cy Vance, who has hated Trump with a passion for many years. The IRS has been auditing Trump and his organization for like a bazillion years haven’t filed any charges. That should tell you a lot. And that is because corporations that do these things regularly (such as paying perks to Weisselberg for things like parking garage fees, reimbursement of personal holiday expenses, and tuition for some family members) usually just slap a fine and and tack on interest charges. But not in the banana republic’s witch-hunt's world... it’s a 15 count indictment including tax fraud, grand larceny, and conspiracy, for not reporting these perks as taxable income or reporting the wrong Trump entity paying them out. So slap the handcuffs on Weisselberg and parade him in front of the media like they’ve arrested Public Enemy Number One. No walk of atonement for thee. It’s obvious Vance, the loathsome NY DA, targeted Trump first and then went about searching and putting millions of dollars of taxpayer dollars into investigating anything and everything to try and get the man. That is not how the law is supposed to work in American. That’s how things happen in banana republics. Here you are supposed to identify the crime first and then go about investigating... well that is if your name is not Donald Trump, apparently. So for the gazillionth time the media handmaidens of the Democratic Party are again claiming this with be the end to Trump... Case closed, game over, zip up your fly, as Stephen King would say in one of his fiction novels. But there’s another saying by Thomas Howell that should be remembered, “Counte not thy Chickens that vnhatched be, Waye wordes as winde, till thou finde certaintee.” I'll translate that to the modern English phrase if anybody wants.

That's just the way it is in the NY Manhattan DA's All-American gulag system.

And yet when minorities claim the same systematic abuse of systems against them they are, normally by GOP and right wingers, told there is no systematic abuse since there are laws in place to protect them. Is it your accusation that NY is a illegimate organisation targeting specific individuals based on nothing more than their political beliefs? And that Trump was powerless to do anything about this in the 4 years he was POTUS, despite having executive powers,
