ago regarding Cohen...before this was suspected but may just have been a formal interview not under oath with fed prosecutors in NY...now we know it was total immunity...but with regard to evidence on Cohen.

How much he talked, or legally has to tale, seeing how Trump was outside the scope of the grand jury probe other than as an unindicted co-conspirator, if prosecutors got the mother lode - the taxes.

I think Weisselberg is the guy who'd have 'em, or know where they are. And certainly - he'd know what's IN them.

Probably the first documents he demanded.

Trump wasn't involved in the same kind of tax evasion and bank fraud shenanigans that Manafort and Cohen went down for? Anyone?

know this. And that he's been laundering money for the russians since the early 90s.

Only those who will not see. Unfortunately, they seem unwilling to open their eyes - or their ears.

I find myself thinking - at THIS late date, after everything that's come out so far, if they STILL stand with him, then what does that say about THEM? If they supported him originally but have come to their senses, that's different. But those who should know better by now, then it seems time to wonder what that says about THEM.

With Pecker and Weisselberg he doesn't need him. What a fascinating time to be alive.

Chinese curse of living in interesting times. My blood pressure could stand more boring.

Weisselberg would know about things like using corporate funds for personal expenses to avoid reporting income a d using corporate funds for campaign expenses to avoid reporting.

Cohen's testimony and the paper trail leading back to Trump and Trump companies and shell companies created by Cohen for the hush money. Guilty Plea!

Also, Weisselberg is no doubt cooperating in the Pecker prove, for the same reason, the paper trail and corroboration of Pecker. Pecker would have pled guilty also, but turned rat for complete immunity. Alarm the CFO of AMI granted full immunity. The target there is...Trump himself directly...indictments yet to fall. And of course both cases are intertwined by being coverups orchestrated by Trump using Weissleberg as the conductor for the purpose of skirting campaign finance laws and misleading those who sold publication rights to evil AIM...never to be seen again...until a Storm hit town.

I agree Trump looks doomed on both matters, but having to release the entire tax returns as relevant may be a stretch...fingers crossed a judge authorized a warrant.

That takes a while to do.

Hard. His connections to Russia likely go very deep.

to Trump.

He'll know where all the financial bodies are buried - whether Trump borrowed money from the Russians to survive, etc.

Probably not nearly as interesting as paying off a porn star but far more deadly in terms of tax evasion, collusion, bank fraud, money laundering, etc for Trump.

The toilet bowl of this administration is really starting to swirl

It means he was deep enough up to his neck to want it, and he knows enough for the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's office to grant it. Unless Mr. Weisselberg gets run over by a truck very this afternoon, Trump is not going to have a restful weekend.

Imagine what he'll be doing tonight.

The imagined scene in the Hitlerbunker in "Der Untergang" is probably a ways off, but maybe approaching faster than anyone realizes.

He didn't realize that there are scams that you can neither buy nor bluff your way out of.

Can't read the story w/o subscription, but your post only says he's been given immunity to testify against Cohen--not tRump.

But if he backed Cohen's version of events, he implicated Trump.


On edit: Trump doesn't know what he said either, and that must be really scary for him.

Cohen, who has already pleaded guilty.

much bigger fish than Cohen.

I sure hope this is Bigley news!!

CNN: Trump says longstanding legal practice of flipping 'almost ought to be illegal'

https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/23/politics/trump-flipping-outlawed/index.html

Good God in Butter!

The Orange A-hole should be going nuts or as per Presidente Fox, el pandajo naranja

...and flippers by definition are criminals, so...

What a lovely week.

This has to stop!!!!

Unless Mueller is trying to wrap this up by September, per Rudy's request.

He He

and refusal to answer questions? The next step is grant immunity and then you have answer questions or face jail time on contempt charges. I think this is the case as all grand jury proceedings are kept quiet.

Works every time.

GOP criminal enterprise.

Before trump's calling Wesselburg, Cohen, Manafort, Flynn, Gates, Pecker, Stormy, His long time secretary, Omerosa, Sessions, and his family members after they turned on him too, and many others, all liars that are not to be believed, only him. Corrupt criminals do this and act out this way, never innocent people. Only people corrupt protect themselves from an ongoing investigation into their wrongdoings and crimes. Wesselburg is just another person not willing to protect criminal trump, and others close to trump will be turning on him too, because they know he will on them if he has the chance.

So the wallet isn't very far away.

could take the boys down too. Back door, front door, New York or Washington - I don't care so long as they're disgraced and gone.

...........

I think they should all take a long vacation at Mar-A-Gitmo.

btw Weisselberg was not only CFO of Trump Org, he's also held other interesting positions: board member of the Miss Universe pageant and treasurer of the Donald J. Trump Foundation.

So much good information, thanks everyone!

This has been one hell of a week, and it's not even noon on Friday!

It was a long time coming, and rather inevitable once any sort of investigation into anything Trump Org was allowed to proceed, but this is HUUUUUGE. Much bigger than Cohen even.

Trump must be losing his mind.

Claim he's the victim , and being framed , when his long list of crimes grows every day. That's how he connects with his supporters, he says he is a victim , then claims they are too , just like he is, and bonds with them over all his lies. Then he expands the lie(s) and takes it to even greater levels . He makes people feel victimized , and then claims he is too being victimized.

And the Trumpists did gnash their teeth, and rent their clothes. A great wailing arose across the land, saying unto the lord, "But what about Hillary!" The lamentations were great and the minions did shout, "This be-eth NOT about the Land of the Great Bear!", and the wise did roll their eyes and replied unto them, "Tough. Crime is crime, and your prophet IS crime." Great sputtering in the land of the fox arose, and the normal people laughed, saying, "Woe unto you, putzes, it is come!" -CCexile

Good amendment to Republican's King Hannity Version of The Plutocratic Bible.......

Wonder if trump thought about that yet.

Because if so, it's game, set, match!

his criminal/treasonous ass. Mueller's playing for keeps.
