Former federal prosecutor predicts the “destruction” of Donald Trump in wake of criminal indictments
Earlier today a New York grand jury criminally indicted the Trump Organization and its CFO Allen Weisselberg. Weisselberg will be taken into custody in the morning, and the full text of the indictments will be publicly revealed tomorrow afternoon. So now what?
Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Signorelli summed up these indictments this way: “I have said it before and I have been wrong but I think tomorrow will be the beginning of the destruction of this madman who has destroyed so much and killed so many. It will take time however but the ball starts rolling finally.”
Now we get to watch the Trump Organization collapse as a business entity, even as Weisselberg is forced to reevaluate his earlier stance of refusing to cut a plea deal. Of course we expect Donald Trump himself to be indicted in the end. Signorelli is correct in that in the meantime, we’re about to see him systematically dismantled and destroyed.
