"de minimis - I hardly knew the guy"

[filly]

To be clear, this guy has already appeared before the Special Grand Jury. And that quirk in NYS law that gives people who appear immunity (apparently to prevent them from taking the Fifth).

This guy has worked for the Trump Org. for more than three decades. His kid works there too. And don't be fooled by his Senior VP title; apparently everyone there save for the support staff has a fancy and somewhat meaningless title.

Interesting.

Breaking WSJ: New York prosecutors are investigating whether a top Trump Org. executive, Matthew Calamari, received tax-free fringe benefits, as part of their probe into whether Trump's company and employees illegally avoided paying taxes on such perks.

Hey Matt the Squid: this is how the mob works.

Get you tangled up so you can't squeal.

Central Casting - Pick up line one.

Calamari has frequently been mentioned by Michael Cohen. DA has TrumpOrg ‘s business records as well as tax returns and documentation on those who might have personally paid perk, if any. Getting interesting.

Like I've said in the past I hope they start from the bottom up so Donald can feel the squeeze around him. Prosecute the entire trump org with Weisselberg and Don Jr, Eric and Ivanka. Then go after Donald.

I hope someone gets Michael Cohen on their show this afternoon. I know it's a guilty pleasure, but I do enjoy his thoughts on what's going on inside Trump Org and Trump's head.

Michael Cohen has turned out to be really funny.

He seems like he has been unshackled and I like hearing him.

Nope, I'd like to see trump's ass thrown in jail first so he can watch his children's trials from his presidential prison cell with no diet coke button.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Trump Organization lawyer says New York prosecutors could soon bring criminal charges against the company.

Axios with a comment from a TO lawyer, they're racing to get ahead of this. Delicious.

Trump Organization could soon face criminal charges, lawyer says
Shawna Chen

A lawyer for the Trump Organization said Friday that expects Manhattan prosecutors to bring criminal charges against the company as soon as next week, NBC News reports.

Why it matters: The charges are part of the Manhattan district attorney's office investigation into former President Trump's business dealings, such as benefits provided to the company's top executives.

State of play: Prosecutors have focused on the tens of thousands of dollars handed to executives like Allen Weisselberg, including rents on apartments and car leases, per the New York Times. At issue is whether the company properly recorded the benefits and paid taxes on them.

Attorneys for the company met with prosecutors on Thursday to discuss the case, according to Trump Organization attorney Ron Fischetti. Fischetti told NBC News the corporate office will plead not guilty and move to dismiss the case, calling the charges "completely outrageous." "Any indictment would be the first to emerge from the long-running investigation and would raise the startling prospect of a former president having to defend the company he founded, and has run for decades, against accusations of criminal behavior," the Times writes.

Of note: A grand jury was recently convened to consider evidence and New York Attorney General Letitia James said she assigned lawyers to work with Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance on the criminal probe while she continues a civil investigation of Trump.

Have you listened to his podcast "Mea Culpa"?

[Slim Cognito]

wow! I read somewhere, probably twitter, that conferences with his lawyer was the reason he was at trump Tower a couple of weeks ago and that conference was about a possible indictment. I blew it off because i wasn't familiar with the poster. Now I wish I'd saved it.

I'm still going to hold my breath. Can you imagine the smackdown if said indictment doesn't materialize?

We'll know how true this all is with how much pity party bitching Zee Furher does about it at his Nuremberg rally tomorrow...
