Just got off phone with a former Trump Org employee whoechoed @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.

You're all by yourself, but you're not alone.
You wanted in and now you're here.
Driven by hate, consumed by fear.
LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR.
LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR,
LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR."

(32,579 posts)Edited to add quote from Bloomberg article:
Over the years, Weisselbergs professional duties also came to include handling Trumps personal finances as well as the Trump Organizations corporate finances. He has paid household bills, made large purchases for Trump, and has communicated with Trumps 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 presidents 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 Organizations 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.

(51,567 posts)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.

Haggis for Breakfast
(6,831 posts)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.

(19,948 posts)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 !
