@RepCummings says if Michael Cohen mentioned their names in the hearing yesterday, chances are they will be called in to testify, too. Heads up @DonaldJTrumpJr, Allen Weisselberg, maybe Ivanka & Jared

(13,524 posts)Trump Org? Is his life in jeopardy? Does he have 24/7 security? Cause I do believe this guy KNOWS ALL
Apparently, he was given immunity at some point last year for a very narrow area of inquiry (per Mimi Rocha last night, if I understood correctly) -
At any rate, he remains one of the bigger mystery men to me - Sater and Weisselberg, WHAT IS YOUR DEAL??!??
ps please televise his hearing, thankyou

(13,524 posts)so long ago, Ive been wondering what his status is now - hes got the goods, no question, but how will he play this out???
Yeah, so the fifth, wow - hey, you know what MF45 says, right? ONLY MOBSTERS TAKE THE FIFTH!!!

Perhaps easiest to just fade into oblivion in a prison cell than worry about the mobsters (trumpfamily) trying to threaten you and yours.

(62,416 posts)Maybe that was in some other phase of some one else's investigation.
I would think immunity to Weiselberg would be a small price to nail the scum and their organizations.
Mrs. Overall
(6,839 posts)I'm not sure how immunity works in terms of congressional testimony, but some legal minds seem to think he may refuse to spill the beans.
rurallib
(62,416 posts)I do think immunity would be a small price to pay for all that Weiselberg knows.

(13,524 posts)Cohen clearly and distinctly spoke of FELIX SATER yesterday!!!!!!

Oh this just got way way better
Hes a tricky one because he did some work for I think the CIA? long ago instead of going to prison for some wrongdoing
Ha, I used to know this stuff!! - but anyway, he might be untouchable because of this ^...delicate situation...
Well, lets stay tuned shall we??!
Good Sater background here:

(22,129 posts)investigations. I wonder if there is a central point where all of these multiple investigations, etc. are listed/shown, and what they are doing? Also, apparently there are other investigations not known about prior to Cohen's testimony yesterday when he was asked about other illegal acts or wrong doing not discussed in today's testimony and he replied yes, by the SDNY.
I'm aware of 17 such (prior to the above) investigations.

Workers inside the family firm refer secretly to Trump's sons as 'Uday and Qusay' - a reference to Saddam Hussein's truly, horrifically monstrous offspring.
"The backbiting catalogued in 'Fire and Fury' extends beyond the White House to Don Jr. and Eric Trump, who according to the book got a nickname from Iraqi bloodthirsty tyrants.
"Author Michael Wolff mentions Don Jr. and Eric, stating early in his tome that 'behind their backs known to Trump insiders as Uday and Qusay.'..."
