5 months for doing Trump's dirty work?

I’m confused? Weisselberg got off easy! I know he turn evidence against Trump, but he still broke an enormous amount of laws over several years and decades! If that were me or you? I hate to see how many years we would be behind bars! Didn’t Cohen get 3 years for his dirty deeds?(I know he was released 2020) Weisselberg was with Trump a lot long time Cohen ever entered the picture for Trump. A criminal enterprise run by so many crooks!

with already (at least it'll seem like it). I would have went w/ a more substantive sentence or something like that, instead of prison, like him working w/ investigators constantly on the tRUMP financials, where figures came from on the tRUMP tax filings, other filings, etc., w/ tons of falsified tRUMP filings, the possibilities are endless.

In America you get all of the justice that you can afford. If the IRS caught me cheating on my taxes for a decade, it would be hard time, for a long time.
