Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg (Center) turned himself in this morning.
Finally! Trump's luck has ran out.

UPDATE: Allen Weisselberg charged with 15 felony counts over a 15 year period
------------------------------------
The beginning of the end of Teflon Don's empire began this morning as Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg voluntarily turned himself in at 6:15 a.m. Eastern time.
The groundwork for indicting Trump's business was laid several years ago when Manhattan investigators began turning up evidence of tax evasion.
Investigators charged Weisselberg on evading taxes on fringe benefits, opening Pandora's box to a slew of further charges in the future.
Prosecutors are expected to continue pursuing their broader investigation into potential bank, insurance and more tax fraud.
Still in the line of fire are the officers of Trump Organization, starting with Trump himself and his family.
In his usual attempt to reverse reality, Trump claims he's thrilled about his company being investigated because it's going to hurt (are you ready for this?) "Sleepy Joe Biden."
Pause.
Thrilled? Hurt Biden? If you ever had doubts about Trump's sanity this response should change your mind.
Unable to contend with reality, Trump does what he does best... deny, lie, deny, lie, etc.
I expect this investigation will go on for some time, especially as new indictments begin rolling out during the process.
It's questionable if this investigation will be Trump's swan song. Slippery as an eel, he's always managed to have others take the fall for him.
This case will be a definitive test for our justice system - can a wealthy man buy justice? Or, is true justice going to prevail?
The outcome of this investigation will determine Trump's future. If he comes away personally unscathed, democracy is going to face another assault that might not survive the second time around.
