As we suspected, "Weisselberg...knows where all the bodies are buried" - Rucker, WaPo

Just got off phone with a former Trump Org employee who
echoed @KatyTurNBC reporting on Weisselberg subpoena:
“Alan knows everything and anything about all the
financials...He knows every dollar that goes in and every dollar
that leaves. He knows where all the bodies are buried.”

Weisselberg previously worked for Trump's father Fred in the elder Trump's real estate firm in the 1980s. He later was hired by the Trump Organization, where he reported directly to Donald Trump, the newspaper reported.


https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/26/trump-org-cfo-called-to-grand-jury-to-testify-wsj.html


I googled his name when first hearing that tape the other night and said, great oogly-moogly, CAN WE HAVE Weisselberg, can we, may we please have this Weisselberg?

LOOKS LIKE!!!

Oh holy hell, what a day to be alive!!

Drowning Pool, who said in 2001:

"Skin against skin, blood and bone,
You're all by yourself, but you're not alone.
You wanted in and now you're here.
Driven by hate, consumed by fear.

Edited to add quote from Bloomberg article:

Over the years, Weisselberg’s professional duties also came to include handling Trump’s personal finances as well as the Trump Organization’s corporate finances. He has paid household bills, made large purchases for Trump, and has communicated with Trump’s outside investment advisers. After Trump became president his lawyers created a trust that safeguards his interest in the Trump Organization while ostensibly managing the company without his input. The trust is run by Weisselberg and the president’s two eldest sons, Donald Jr. and Eric.

Unlike the Trump family, Weisselberg has preferred to remain out of the spotlight over the last few decades, quietly tending to the Trump Organization’s operations. Now that he has surfaced in one of the most high-profile political and business investigations ever conducted in the U.S., that may be about to change.

and this guy in more important than Cohen. He knows about ALL the hundreds of tRump's LCCs and who paid tRump, when and how much since the 1970s! This isn't just his tax returns, this is EVERY SINGLE CENT. "Follow the money" is hitting the fan.

He knows that, given the opportunity, trump would throw him under the bus faster than he could blink. After all, he's seen the man in operation for years. He should be the first person to be hip to trump.

Plus what is in it for him not to cooperate ? A pardon ? It seems that Mueller (and the NY AG) have made the case pardon-proof. We'll see, but I believe he's already flipped.

about the TT meeting, not to mention there's a Grand Jury just on him. If I were him, I would remain silent and out of the spotlight until Mueller comes calling. Maybe it's New York !

Also, I think that as Mueller closes in and starts going for the really big fish - Kushner, Junior . . . , Witsec would become a necessity for some.
