Former Trump Org. CFO Fires His Attorneys And Appears Ready To Flip On The Donald: Report

Former Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg dumped his Trump-funded attorneys, according to reports from Newsweek and WNBC, the surest sign yet that he’s flipped on the failed former president and is ready to cooperate with prosecutors investigating alleged wrongdoing at the company.

The timing of Weisselberg parting ways with his Trump lawyers has resulted in suggestions he may have been about to, or already has, flipped on the former president, so the 75-year-old doesn’t end up spending more time in prison. Weisselberg already agreed to testify in The Trump Organization fraud trial in exchange for his potential jail sentence being reduced from 15 years to five months, but he didn’t implicate the former president.

Karen Agnifilo, former chief assistant district attorney of the Manhattan D.A.’s office, told MSNBC the move by Weisselberg is a significant development.

“It can mean one of two things. Number one, the case is over and doesn’t need lawyers anymore, they were just representing them on that one case,” Agnifilo said. “Or, more likely, is there was this pressure campaign put on him saying while he’s in Rikers, ‘do you like being there? Because we’re about to bring other charges.’

“If he testified in the grand jury, you wouldn’t necessarily know it because he’d be brought into the backdoor because he’s incarcerated,” Agnifilo added. “So unlike the other people Michael Cohen, or [attorney] Bob Costello, who told people that testified and we know about them because we see them going in and out of the building. You wouldn’t necessarily see Allen Weisselberg. So it’s possible he’s already testified, we just don’t know.”

The move by Weisselberg may also explain why a grand jury empaneled by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg hasn’t yet indicted Trump. Bragg could be planning to have the former Trump Org. CFO testify before the panel as a way of strengthening the case against the one-term ex-president.

Democrat Swats Down MT Greene On Guns: ‘You Guys Are Worried About Banning Books – Dead Kids Can’t Read!’

At a Committee on Oversight and Accountability hearing this week, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) got swatted down by Democratic Congressman Jared Moskowitz (FL) on the issue of guns, gun safety, and the mass shooting at a school in Nashville that left six dead, including three young children.

Moskowitz began by remarking:

“There are six people that are dead in that school including three children because you guys got rid of the assault weapons ban.
“Because you guys made it easy for people who don’t deserve to have weapons, who are mentally incapable of having weapons of war, being able to buy those weapons and go into schools.”

The Florida Democrat then noted the hearing itself was a joke with the GOP focusing on car theft and public urination in the District of Columbia:

“You guys want to talk about DC public schools and crime? I don’t I don’t want to burst your bubble over there, but mass murder in schools is crime.

“You want to talk about 1,300 cars being stolen, 550 people have been murdered in school. Who cares about the cars? What about the kids?”

Moskowitz continued:

“No hearing for them. 330,000 kids have experienced gun violence in this country. The number one killer of school aged children in this country. Gun violence. How do you think for the parents who have had to bury their kids who have had to decide what to put their kids clothes, but their kids when they buried them? Or kind of box they have to pick out for their child or for when they come home?”

When it was her time to speak, Greene began whining, “I was an 11th grade and Joe Biden made our school gun free school zones. One of the students in my school brought three guns to school and our entire school went on lockdown, because he was the only person with a gun. There was no good guy with a gun to protect us kids at school.”

She added:

“So, if you want to have a good talk about schools, and protecting children, we need to talk about protecting our children the same way we protect our president, the way we protect our celebrities.”

However, Congressman Moskowitz had the perfect retort to Greene’s claims:

“Did the good guys with the guns stop six people from getting murdered? No. But you know what? AR 15’s, have you ever seen what those bullets do to children? You know why you don’t hunt with an AR 15 with a deer, because there’s nothing left. And there’s nothing left as these kids when people go into school and murder them while they’re trying to read.

“You guys are worried about banning books – dead kids can’t read.”

If guns were the solution to crime the way Republicans claim, wouldn’t the United States be the safest country on the planet? It isn’t, and the proliferation of guns is a big part of the problem.

Congress GOP WTF?!

WATCH Lauren Boebert Repeatedly Ask About ‘Public Urination’ During A Bizarre House Hearing 

It appears that Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has piss on the brain. And no, that’s not a joke, even though she most certainly is.

During a bizarre House Oversight hearing on Wednesday, Boebert grilled Washington, D.C. Councilmember Charles Allen about the laws regarding public urination in the District.

The topic was supposed to be proposed changes to the D.C. criminal code, which led Boebert to inquire, “In November of 2022, you led the charge to reform D.C.’s crime laws. And these charges, these changes, are now law here in D.C., correct?”

Allen: “No, those are not the law.”

Boebert then asked:

“Those are not the law?”

Allen: “You (Congress) overturned them.”

“Mr. Allen, did you or did you not decriminalize public urination in Washington, D.C.?” Boebert asked.

Allen: “No, we did not.”

Despite Allen’s reply, Boebert once again asked, “Did you lead the charge to decriminalize public urination in Washington, D.C.?” 

“No, ma’am,” Allen replied.

Boebert: “Did you ever vote in favor of decriminalizing public urination in Washington, D.C.?” 

Allen: “The revised criminal code that was passed by the council kept it as a criminal offense.”

“We have records that show that you were in favor of removing that criminal offense and allowing public urination,” Boebert sniped.

Allen insisted once again, “No.”

It didn’t take long before Twitter lit up with mockery and derision aimed right at Congresswoman Bobo.

Terrified Trump Predicts ‘Death And Destruction’ If He’s Indicted

As his likely indictment in Manhattan draws closer with each day, failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump gets more anxious and desperate to try and forestall the inevitable.

Proof of that can be found in a posting he made Friday on his failing Trump Social site in which he predicted there would be “death and destruction” if and when charges are handed down against him.

“What kind of person can charge another person, in this case a former President of the United States, who got more votes than any sitting President in history, and leading candidate (by far!) for the Republican Party nomination, with a Crime, when it is known by all that NO Crime has been committed, & also known that potential death & destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our Country? Why and who would do such a thing? Only a degenerate psychopath that truely (sic) hates the USA!”

On Thursday, Trump went on an ALL CAPS rant:

“EVERYBODY KNOWS I’M 100% INNOCENT, INCLUDING BRAGG, BUT HE DOESN’T CARE. HE IS JUST CARRYING OUT THE PLANS OF THE RADICAL LEFT LUNATICS. OUR COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED, AS THEY TELL US TO BE PEACEFUL!”

Both of those frantic postings were the topic of discussion on Friday’s edition of “Morning Joe,” with MSNBC host Al Sharpton noting, “Beneath it all, from when I knew Donald Trump before, I think that he is very nervous. We are looking at a man that is becoming unhinged. (It) shows a man that has lost control. He is hearing footsteps and they’re getting closer.”

Host Joe Scarborough agreed:

“The guy is shaking in his boots. Now, of course, he’s threatening the lives of other people.

“But you read these tweets or whatever you call it on that failing platform, and this is a guy who, you’re right, he’s out of his mind scared. He is melting down. Now, he is threatening riots that will lead to death and destruction if he is charged.”

Lauren Boebert Shows Photos Of Human Fetuses At House Hearing On Endangered Species: VIDEO

Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert decided to use her speaking time during a Thursday House hearing to display photos of human fetuses.

During a Water, Wildlife and Fisheries Subcommittee hearing, Boebert explained why she wanted to remove the gray wolf from the endangered species list.

“I appreciate this time today and thank you so much for everyone who’s attending here and traveling so far to be here,” she began. “I do want to say before my opening remarks, you know, since we’re talking about the Endangered Species Act, I’m just wondering if my colleagues on the other side would put babies on the endangered species list.”

She then help up photos of human fetuses as she continued to speak.

“These babies were born in Washington, D.C. full term. I don’t know, maybe that’s a way we can save some children here in the United States.”

Boebert then turned to the gray wolf.

“For far too long, the Endangered Species Act has been weaponized by extremists, extremist environmentalists, to obstruct common sense multiple-use activities that they disagree with.”
