Is Weisselberg willing to take the fall for Trump? Especially since Trump cannot protect him or pardon him. I wouldn't doubt that he will try and make a deal with prosecutors in order to reduce his charges, or stop new charges from being brought forth.

I'm going to straight up say that there is NOTHING for Trump to take the fall for because he wasn't involved in any of these activities in any way, shape, or form. Because (a) he's too stupid to have been part of it and (b) the others didn't trust his big mouth enough not to blab enough to involve him.

Cohen was charged and sentenced (in part) for that scheme. Trump is just as guilty. But you are probably right, he likely won't face charges in relation to the Cohen matter. Even though he should.

The wildcard is that this isn't a normal business, there's no meaningful line between the Trump Org and Trump's personal finances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IE "No one with a semblance of an education or foresight would apply for this position given what's going on at the company" It actually reminds me of the Dick and Jane movie with Jim Carrey. He thinks he is being massively promoted to an executive position, but the CEO is really just doing it to make him the fall guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
