When the fate of the nation may hang in the balance, and the law has been broken, the state may act in the interests of justice -- and survival.

Upvote for "compulsive liar". One of the most bizarre things about this creature is he lies about random shit, with no benefit to him, no reason to do so.

What is your guess as to the amount of Russian oligarch dirty money that the Trump Organization has laundered for the past three decades? I guess north of $2B easy.

I think Liz's point is more that there are COUNTLESS rich-os who do exactly what Trump is doing and the prosecutors and AG's office couldn't care less. They're doing it because Trump was objectively a monster as president. That's definitely a political end - even if it is a good political end.

I'm horrified/fascinated by people who just...work for shitty people and criminals. I'm both extremely rule-abiding and easily shamed (I remember being a kid and thinking, "How can you be a criminal? You'd have to ask other people to do crimes with you and WOULDN'T THAT BE SO EMBARASSING TO ASK?) and also incredibly risk averse. Besides, y'know, the whole morality thing that figures into a lot of crime.

I’m not sure it’s true that the loser of the 2020 election is only being investigated because he’s the loser of the election. Michael Cohen said under oath he was cheating on his taxes. Once that happened, anyone would be investigated.

There must be many money-laundering real estate faux-tycoons who hope they will no longer feel the heat when Trump goes down.

Let's hope this is only the start.

It's the essence of a con-man.

He was like JIm Jones in the White House.

Can Weisselberg play James and Vance against each other to get a better deal? Like a year's supply of tacos

I still drive 85 miles to see my granddaughter on the regular even though climate change is going to transform the world she lives in in some very nasty ways. So yeah, embracing cognitive dissonance a lot these days.
