Trump will explode and I am all for that. Perhaps Steven Colbert could write the speech and Hillary holding Kathy Griffin's prop would be icing on the cake.

NEW YORK — Allen Weisselberg, the longtime top financial officer of former president Donald Trump’s company, pleaded guilty to more than a dozen counts on Thursday, more than a year after he and the business were indicted and charged with undertaking a long-term scheme to avoid paying taxes by concealing executive pay.

Weisselberg was charged last year with grand larceny and criminal tax fraud, among other alleged crimes. He and the Trump Organization were accused of carrying out a “scheme to defraud” government authorities by failing to report their real compensation. Trump and his namesake company denounced the case at the time and said it was driven by politics.

Appearing in a Manhattan courtroom on Thursday morning, Weisselberg, 75, acknowledged guilt on every charge and agreed to testify, if called, at a pending trial for the Trump company. As part of his plea agreement, Weisselberg would spend five months behind bars, followed by five years of probation.

Now $45 is threatening to sue the Justice Department for the search of his home under the 4th Amendment, which of course every judge in the land will throw out. Of course, we all know that is yet another fund raising scam, he will quote the first part and leave the second part of 4A and his cult will latch on to the "unlawful (sounds better) search and seizure" and his cult will once again be emptied of their pockets while they take up arms.

Only good thing about this is that $45 is sucking up all the money that the GOP Senate election fund is going broke, not really but technically they are.

It's become an interesting pastime watching the stuff TFG's crack legal team and spokespersons are throwing up on the wall not sticking. Stay tuned folks, they aren't done yet.

If you don't prosecute Trump, he will continue committing crimes
This isn't just about the abstract rule of law. Trump is an ongoing danger.
