Trump's CFO, Allen Weisselberg, to plead guilty to perjury for lying at Trump's NY fraud trial - Glenn Kirschner

[Rhiannon12866]

Donald Trump's longtime Chief Financial Officer, Allen Weisselberg - already a convicted felon for engaging in fraud at the Trump Organization - reportedly is in negotiations with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to plead guilty to perjury for lying when he testified at Trump's NY fraud trial.

This new legal development likely factors into two other legal developments: Judge Engoron delaying his verdict in Trump's NY fraud trial and Judge Tanya Chutkan postponing Trump's federal case in DC for trying to overturn the 2020 presidential elections.

This video discusses the intersection of these three legal developments and what that intersection tells us about which of Trump's criminal cases is now most likely to go to trial first. - Glenn Kirschner - 02/02/2024.

1. It takes a special kind of stupidity

to plead guilty and agree to testify then commit perjury on the stand. Weisselberg needs more jail time and a bigger fine.

2. Particularly if he initially threw himself under the bus on behalf of TFG

3. Can only imagine the fraud judgement $$$ and consequences goes up with this news. Weisselberg was an idiot...

...to do this. Did he somehow think no one was still paying attention? Maybe Donnie has the key to a secret off shore account with Weisselberg's name on it but even that won't be of much use.

5. Weisselberg severance package is certainly ending, would he make a deal? He has nothing to lose...

7. Just read his severance was $2 mil, That doesn't look like a bribe to keep quiet...nope...of course not.

4. "... because ... ya know ... justice ... matters ..."

6. Especially now, given the current behavior of the Republicans.
