Opening arguments began Monday in the high-profile criminal tax fraud case against the Trump Organization, the former president’s family-run company that helped make him a household name. “This case is about greed and cheating,” prosecutor Susan Hoffinger told jurors in her opening statement about what she alleged was a “clever scheme.” Two corporations that are a part of the company, Trump Corp. and Trump Payroll Corp.
By most assessments, the trial should take about a month. The former president’s family business faces the possibility of stiff fines and limited options when seeking loans in the future. But also notable is the larger context: A week before Election Day, the apparent head of the Republican Party — the GOP’s presidential nominee in 2016 and 2020, and its likely nominee in 2024 — is having to deal with a criminal tax-evasion trial surrounding his controversial business.

MaddowBlog Let Trump run. Let him destroy himself along with all other Trumpers. We already have enough legal actions going on against him. Let's go after all his unrepentant enablers. Justice for him can wait for several more years. Let Trump betray his corrupt cronies first.
MaddowBlog Go get em. If illegal is found on and in their activities. Do the American thing and prosecute and execute just punishment. They may think that they are above the law, they may act like they are above the law, but folks, believe it, they are not.

MaddowBlog The GOP is blatantly aware of Trump’s criminal behavior and practices. This, however, does not dissuade them to pull away from him and fight for decency for Americans. Putting their party before America is what they do best and it has and will continue to backfire on them.
