Trump CFO (Weisselberg) Still Not Cooperating

Washington Post: “As the most senior non-Trump executive at the former president’s private, closely held company, Weisselberg is probably a key figure in prosecutors’ efforts to indict Trump, legal experts say. His central role in nearly every aspect of Trump’s business, revealed in depositions and news interviews over the past three decades, afforded him what former employees say is a singular view of the Trump Organization’s tax liabilities and finances.”

“Yet officials involved in the Weisselberg investigation have grown frustrated about what they view as a lack of cooperation from Weisselberg and believe he continues to regularly speak with Trump.”

1. He knows he can't pardon him, right?

Unless the secret sealed pardons are a thing, that is.

2. And to think, the common wisdom here was he'd sing like a canary.

6. So? Most of those who knew him, former US attorneys, Michael Cohen, Weisselberg's former daughter-in

law did too.

So, why the slam at DUers?

3. OK. Store him at Gitmo; clean out his offices and homes.

Go through his records with a fine-tooth comb.

I wouldn't believe anything he says anyway.

4. Seems like a good case for a wiretap.

Crimes appear in-progress. Curious how serious investigators are willing to go.

5. Go after Weisselberg's son

7. An Odd Thought

If evidence is clearly present (?) - then arrest and prosecute him [Right Now] so that he might be found guilty and spend many years in prison. Of Note: They "dinged" Michael Cohen for seemingly less reason?

[Thomas Hurt]

8. Hey if they have the goods on him, call a grand jury, get him indicted that will loosen him up.

10. 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

Which they clearly most.

9. Why would he cooperate?

Worst case scenario for him will be that he might spend a few months in jail, if that, and pays a fine. After that, he can access his millions in the Caymans and still live in luxury. Money trumps the law, and Trump and his associates trump the law

11. Putin.

That would be my guess as to why he’s being difficult.

The FSB and GRU use the Russian mob for dirty work, like plugging “leaks”.

12. Not surprised. We've been through so many disappointments going back to the Mueller investigation,

I had a feeling this was going to be another. How many clear-cut cases and avenues for indictment, successful prosecution or impeachment have we seen evaporate before our eyes in the past two plus years? Why would anyone think this one would be different?
