Editorial: Guilty as charged: The criminal Trump Organization stinks from the head

The Trump Organization, actually the Trump Corp. and the Trump Payroll Corp., (he does like flaunting his brand name) is guilty of multiple felonies, unanimously say 12 good citizens from Manhattan, an island jurisdiction that Donald Trump fled from.

But holed up down in Mar-a-Lago with Jew-haters and wannabe Hitlers, he left behind 725 Fifth Ave., also known as Trump Tower, where Donald’s company and his minions engaged in systemic tax fraud in violation of New York State law to enrich themselves and cheat the public by paying people off the books, avoiding taxes.

A deserved thank you to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his assistants for bringing in a conviction on all counts, even though the kingpin, the man with his name on everything, continues to elude justice. The guilty verdicts, if upheld, will bring no prison time for the Trump Corp. and the Trump Payroll Corp., only financial penalties.
