At least he'll back up what Michael Cohen says about the Trump Moscow plans. Sater was in on it from the beginning. He probably knows about Chump laundering some Russian money too.

Allen Weisselberg, C F O of the Trump Organization. THIS is the one man Spanky DOES NOT want to appear before the committee and testify. Weisselberg knows EVERYTHING about the money. EVERYTHING.

They better tape Weisselberg's testimony lest they miss anything. This man is a treasure trove of information. And he also knows what's in those pesky tax returns Spanky doesn't want anyone to see.

I was reminded of something this morning. Years ago, when the Friar's Club wanted to do a roast of Trump, they asked him if ANYTHING was off the table, so to speak. The only exemption from him was his "wealth and how much money he had or was worth." Seems suspicious now, doesn't it ?

when busted and sentenced...he was given a light sentence because it was shown he was working behind the scenes for a US agency. Undercover I guess. I believe the Obama administration argued on his behalf.

Is he a mole in the Trump Org? Was he playing both sides? Is he a good guy or bad guy?

This Top Mueller Aide Once Worked on an Investigation of a Trump Associate Tied to the Russian Mob

————————Andrew Weissmann helped oversee the bizarre Felix Sater case————-——-

...One of the first hires made by special counsel Robert Mueller was Andrew Weissmann, the leader of the Justice Department’s criminal fraud division. And in a curious twist, Weissmann once played a role in an unusual case—involving the Mafia, the Russian mob, and securities fraud—that is now oddly linked to Trump.

Weissmann has a reputation as a fierce prosecutor, having headed up the Justice Department’s Enron Task Force. Before that, as an assistant US attorney in the Eastern District of New York, he pursued cases targeting Mafia wise guys and Russian organized crime members.

As a prosecutor in the Eastern District, Weissmann signed a 1998 cooperation agreement between the US government and Felix Sater, a violent felon and securities trader who had pleaded guilty to financial crimes. Sater went on to become a confidential informant for the FBI and a Trump business partner. During the years in which Sater was secretly cooperating with the Feds, he was also engaging in key real estate ventures with Trump. This included scouting for deals in Russia and Eastern Europe, projects that never materialized. Trump has consistently claimed that his business empire has “nothing to do with Russia.” Yet Sater’s intriguing tale represents at least one important Russia connection for Trump.[/div

It sounds as if Weissmann wasn’t all that deeply involved, but...well, these two go waaayyyy back.....things that make you go “hmmmmm”....
