The Trump Organization was fined $1.6 million — the maximum possible penalty — by a New York judge Friday for running a decade-long tax fraud scheme, a symbolic moment because it is the only judgment for a criminal conviction that has come close to former President Donald Trump. Under New York law, the most the companies can be fined is about $1.6 million, a penalty the Trump Organization can easily afford. (CNN Politics)

You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (you're so vain)

Don't you don't you?” (You’re So Vain/Carly Simon)
For me, very sadly and with much anger, this news item is truly not about TRUMP, but rather a system of laws created by the wealthy to protect the wealthy and keep the wealthy as wealthy as possible. Yeah, The Trump Organization is nothing but Mob Family. The Don, Donnie is a creep, but since his Companies have enough money to commit these financial crimes, over a decade, $1.6 million AIN’T gonna do any damage to his bank accounts. Yeah, we can all gleefully shout, “YOU ARE A CRIMINAL DONNY,” and feel good about doing so, but honestly will that matter, at least financially to this ENEMY OF THE STATE?
I SERIOUSLY have to wonder, will TRUE JUSTICE, within this nation ever PREVAIL?
