You hear what one heart broken mother revealed about biden yesterday first, i want to take a step back tonight. Losing your wife and young daughter in a car crash and decades later losing your 46yearold son to a brain tumor, i mean, that would be hard for anyone to bear. We all know that not only did joe get through it, well, he used it, it turns out, to brand himself politically as a compassionate, dedicated fighter for the every man. Now, back in 2019, politico basically admitted it, publishing a piece titled how grief became joe bidens super power. Two tragedies, 43 years apart, have defined the former v. P. s life. Have they also made him a more formidable president ial candidate . It wasnt about his political views or his experience. It was about his grief. And just today nbc news has another piece out on the same topic and thats titled joe bidens brand is being tested like never before. His brand as a family oriented Public Servant has been a signature political asset for more th
shows not only how broken he is as a family man and as a public figure, but also how broken, you know, your and my business is. laura: now, and, charlie, the fact that the man can t meet a child without practically news ling the child with his nose and nuzzling the child with his nose, is he a weirdo and creepo. up next, we have a lot of news in the g.o.p. primary fight. we are going to explain what it is. plus, an fbi agent working the trump-russia gate case, it turns out he had his own little russia problem. you can t make this up. these details you don t want to miss, next.
necessary. one thing they want to point out is that these cases can start very small. they can start at a low level and really then move up. in fact, in 20 years ago in a very office of the manhattan district attorney, they brought a case against dennis kos lou koslowski who was a powerful ceo of a company, and they brought a case of evading sales tax on high-priced paintings that he had brought, and pretended to ship to new hampshire instead of new york so that he would not have to pay the sales tax. now, we were talking about at that point, $2 million sales tax that dennis koslowski was avoiding is the case that threw him in jail along with the cfo
for tax charges in new york state. so there is an exception to that if the person is out of new york and we know that donald trump was out of new york for a good amount of time during the past five year, right? he was in washington but they can t say the same thing about weisselberg and the trump organization which is located in new york. so, you know, there comes a certain point when you ve tried and tried and tried to get somebody to flip and cooperate where you simply, you know, he says, no, i m not going to, he says we ll indict you. he says i m not going to. you say we ll bring these charges against you, he says i m not cooperating. you are running out of time under the clock and you just have to bring those charges. that may be what s going on here and it wouldn t surprise me if that s going on here and could be that there s something coming down the road but could be that the d.a. s office is not sure they ll be able to build that case in the future. we don t know.
often common. one of the scapegoats that they may make is on the accounting firm. and one of them is the accounting firm in the spotlight, and can the trump organization offload this criminal liability to the accounting firm? well, they will certainly try to say that i think that if prosecutors move up the ladder, they will try to say that they didn t know about it, and that this is, you know, practice that they were not aware of, but, you have the problem, chuck, of probably a high level executives in the organization, and if not donald trump, himself, signing off on documents. so then you have to make the argument that you didn t know what you were signing, and that a difficult case to make, and so
