Without Weisselberg, Trump could not have pulled his caper.

He is not a part-time player. He is in it up to his eyeballs.

He was not just working for Donald Trump - he was working for himself and his family.

They should throw the book at him. He is not an innocent employee.

I wonder if anyone is paying enough attention to the deeper roots of who these people really are. Just like the origins of Deutschebank loans is as invisible these days as the Mueller Report.

BTW, who's funding Noem's crack reserve militia? It's not like you just go to a bank and say "I want to invade another state."

Princess, Junior and Gums when it came to salaries. You can bet your behind they did a Weisselberg on steroids. As for Grifter Supreme, he's in charge of it all - probably as a part-time gig in addition to his primary job of milking the cult. Look for a whole lot more arrests.

Just think what Weisselberg knows about monies received from foreign entities.

And we must ask who handled the books for Kushner's enterprises.
