  1. @ouij I cringe when I hear the word #obedience, but I get what you are trying to say and agree with the sentiment. I would rephrase it, though. We need to be #civil and follow #rules and #laws that are just. We can't have a #society without. But #lawandorder has been twisted into a #politicalweapon, a #fightingword lacking all #honesty. The political factions using that phrase are the same that support folks claiming there is no such thing as a society. #Conservatism is #nihalism

  2. Back to #Rikers

    Fmr #Trump exec #Weisselberg sentenced to 5 months in #jail after pleading guilty to lying under oath in the NYAG’s #civil #fraud investigation into business practices at the #TrumpOrganization.
    #AllenWeisselberg, who worked for the Trump family for a half-century before *retiring* recently, was taken into custody after a brief proceeding in NY Sup Court & is expected to serve his sentence at #RikersIsland.

  3. #Weisselberg testimony occurred on Oct 10, 2023 – #Day6 of the #civil #fraud trial against #Trump, #TrumpOrganization & its top execs.

    Start of my thread on Weisselberg’s perjurious testimony:

  4. #AllenWeisselberg …is negotiating a #deal w/ Manhattan prosecutors that requires him to plead #guilty to #perjury.

    #Weisselberg would have to admit that he lied on the #witness stand in #Trump’s #civil #fraud #trial.

    Weisselberg, the fmr CFO at #TrumpOrganization, also would have to say that he lied under oath during in an interview with the #NYAG’s office, which brought the civil fraud case.

  5. Another interesting detail:

    While #NYAG questioned #Birney about the spreadsheets & notations, Birney testified that Allen #Weisselberg directed him to use a specific rate to boost the value of #TrumpTower.

    NYAG: “Where did that conversation occur?

    Birney: “In the restroom of Trump Tower.”

    (which calls to mind…)
