Trump-Hating New Yorker Columnist Admits 'Weak' Charges Against Trump Organization
Newsbusters ^ | July 4, 2021 | P.J. Gladnick

Last year, New Yorker columnist Susan Glasser was so depressed/exhausted by Trump that she invented, with the help of a friend,an unpronounceable German word to describe Trump, "Trumpregierungsschlamasselschmerz." She delighted Stephen Colbert as she explained: "Trump, you got that. Regnorran is government. Schlamassle is what it sounds like, craziness. And then schmerz, is like soul-sickness. So it's like Trump government craziness soul-sickness."

There were celebrations aplenty at MSNBC and similar places where Trump-loathing runs rampant when it was announced that the Trump Organization CFO Alan Weisselberg was indicted for not paying taxes on company fringe benefits. It was fervently hoped that Weisselberg would "flip" and bring down Donald Trump as a result.

So it is interesting that Glasser is now warning liberals to not make fools of themselves by spiking the victory football in the end zone yet again. Her warning came on Thursday in the aptly titled, "The Persistent Fantasy of a Trump Knockout Punch."

And NY state AG Letitia James almost guarantees that the case will be tossed, if not the first time in court then certainly during the appeals process, with her over the top TDS public statements. I checked and her office has been working with the Manhattan DA on this bogus case which normally is resolved as a CIVIL matter involving a fine at worst.

Trump is obviously the most squeaky-clean President in US history.

If there was any substance to these charges, if there was any evidence at all of Trump or his corporations being involved in any questionable activity whatsoever, then the Democrats would have jumped on this year‘s ago.

This is nothing but another witchhunt. Another lie like the collusion charges.

super weak, The Trump organization NOT reporting the value of perks it gave to employees... would actually result in Trump Inc PAYING MORE than they owe in taxes! (because they wouldn’t get to deduct the expense)

She ran on the Working People’s Party ticket to be AG - its a euphemism for the Communist Party. She also campaigned on going after Trump which I find astounding from a legal ethics perspective but then again she probably doesn’t know nor does she care what legal ethics are.

THE DEFINITION OF STUPIDITY: New York Attorney General Letitia James, Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance. Utter stupidity......and the two of them continue to flaunt it.

MEMO TO THE STUPIDS (assuming they can read):
<><> Hugh Hefner could NOT get a NJ gaming license;
<><> Barron Hilton of Hilton hotel fame could NOT get a NJ gaming license.
<><> Bob Guccione of Penthouse mag fame could NOT get a NJ gaming license.

LET THAT SINK IN: they could NOT get a gaming license in...... N-e-w J-e-r-s-e-y.

Yet Trump got four gaming licenses in...... N-e-w J-e-r-s-e-y.


These stupid NY characters are looking in the same places the smart NJ gaming vettors looked...vettors who are MUCH smarter than the NY Trump haters.

The gaming vettors didnt find a thing against Trump.

That’s what makes these NY pols stupid......not being able to think above their own sordid political ambitions....thinking their boiling hatred is enough to nail Trump.

There was some leftist legal “scholar” on MSNBC ranting because nobody will “flip” on Trump. Said he just didn’t get it, he was SURE that somebody would flip when Trump lost his pardon power. Then he went on to speculate that these folks either were afraid of Trump more than the DA or they had been promised huge payouts to keep their mouths shut. I wonder if it ever even crossed his mind that the reason nobody flips is simply because there is simply no wrongdoing on Trump’s part for them to flip on.

Posted this on another thread, but it bears repeating. This is how government works.

From experience, here’s how this works. The government is like the Mafia, but with better retirement and dental insurance. The IRS sent a task force to the Honeywell facility on Ulmerton Rd in Clearwater, Fl. They spent about 18 months with a large team, I want to say it was about 20 auditors. This cost the government a lot of money. As a sidebar, Honeywell was the most ethical employer I ever had. My employers on the low end, ranged from Elcotel, which was raided by the FBI, to an ITT spinoff that was forced to be sold to Harris because of a massive cheat. Honeywell was on the other end of the scale. The IRS team found only one small thing.

On his first day in office, a VP had signed an okay to use a new charge number on an in-house project as the other one had run out. It turned out to be a government charge number and Honeywell caught the error and repaid the miss-charge. The IRS threatened to send that VP to prison for fraud. They demanded (I want to say two million dollars) which was far in excess of the amount miss-charged, that had been repaid as soon as the error was caught.

I was personal friends with the VP’s son. So, I know the inside story. The IRS was embarrassed, having publicly stated that Honeywell was a cheat and a fraud and they were going to send people to jail. Essentially, the money they demanded would have paid for the investigation, plus some. Honeywell understood this was a negotiation. So, they said, “Nope. We’ll see you in court.” Now, anyone who deals with government thugs knows how this works. Yes, Honeywell would likely have prevailed and the IRS would have gotten an even bigger black eye. (I think the technical word here is, “extortion.”) The last thing a company wants is a government agency as powerful as the IRS “mad” or “vengeful” towards them. Both parties knew there would be a compromise to make the IRS not look too bad and to let the IRS save face by saying they had fined Honeywell. I don’t recall the details, but I think Honeywell admitted to wrongdoing, which the government “forgave” in exchange for paying a fine, the amount of which was secret.

The Mafia would be RICO’d for doing the same thing.

My S-I-L works for a Private Prison Company. Her Facility has been Contracted to house ICE Detainees.

Ever since Xiden took over, they have been Audited by every Federal Government Entity that has anything to do with Immigration. Sometimes there are competing Audit Teams at the Facility at the same time.

In my Corporate Days, we called crap like this Non Productive Busy Work. It appears to be nothing but harassment since the DEMONCRATS hate Private Prison Operators, but now that the Borders are wide open they need them.

The worst part is that one Government Entity will say everything is 100% spot on and the next Government Entity will come up with a “finding”. The Left hand has no idea what the Right Hand is doing.

When they first got the ICE Contract, Congressional “Staffers” showed up to tour the place.

The DEMONCRAT Staffers were nothing but trouble making idiots, asking the most inane questions and acting like they owned the place. They had a meltdown when they were told that they couldn’t bring in their Cell Phones and they had to hike back to their Cars with them.

When the GOP Staffers showed up, they were exactly the opposite. They were well behaved, visibly impressed with the Facility, respectful to the Staff and followed the Rules.

"Trump-Hating New Yorker Columnist Admits 'Weak' Charges Against Trump Organization "

Does not matter.

The plan is to keep accusations of Trump wrongdoings in the headlines...all the time.

“Trump is obviously the most squeaky-clean President in US history.”
IMO, I think all Rat Presidents should go through the same 5 year political colonoscopy, Prez Trump had to endure.

The mafia, unlike the government, also generally leaves you alone unless you chose to do business with them (prostitution, drugs, numbers).

Trump’s generosity is a big problem for the Leftists, but his real crime is his honesty.

Well said, and of course you’re right. That’s the thing they fear most: truth.
