Allen Weisselberg has been subpoenaed
 

this is huge news.

Longtime Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg has been subpoenaed, the Wall Street Journal reports. That should come as little surprise; he was invoked twice in Michael Cohen's taped conversation with President Trump about buying the rights to former Playboy model Karen McDougal's story.

“I’ve spoken to Allen about how to set the whole thing up," Cohen says on the September 2016 recording. He adds: “I spoke to Allen about it, when it comes time for the financing. ...”

Weisselberg . . . has worked for the Trump family since the 1970s, and knows more about the Trump Organization’s history and finances than nearly anyone. Almost 71 years old, he joined the company after graduating from college and worked for the president’s father, Fred, as an accountant. He has since become the Trump Organization’s chief financial officer and one of the president’s closest business confidants (alongside Jason Greenblatt, who was Trump’s in-house legal counsel before the president named him as a special diplomatic envoy to the Middle East).

. . .

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.

Russians must have got to him. I hear Putiin gave Trump a chipped soccer ball as well. Mueller better get on the ball after he gets done with Trump's tweets.

he's on team trump, of course he's with the ruskies.

as for the chip, it was an adidas chipped football.

Nah it probably contains the directives. Ya'll need to get that ball.

Oh snap, he is in the mess.

why wouldn't putin just tell them to trump in their 1 on 1 private 2 hour meeting?

Because they knew ya'll would try and subpoena the translator. Get on the ball and you get Pence as President.

There was lots of big news today in the Trump realm. There is the Allen Weisselberg thing.. but now there is a "really big" Trump thing..

It's been leaked that Cohean is saying Trump was well aware of the Trump tower "Ruskie" meeting as in 2 week ahead of it and he knew the meeting was to get dirt on Hillary from the Russians..

Megathread over on reddit can pick your favorite News source from it all reporting the same..

The kicker is they don't think it was Cohean who leaked this info..


Last but not least the Russian spy chick met with Republican Congressman Rohrabacher in a one on one.. He's the guy who Ryan joked about being owned by Russia..

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

you should do stand-up!

i don't think cohen has any proof, it's hearsay really. it may turn out to be significant, not sure.

I started a good thread on maria butina with a lot of solid info in it about how significant she is, got nothing but crickets on it.

At least you have some sense of humor. Others aren't so lucky.

Did you know that her and Isikoff are facebook bff's?

i know that would be irrelevant. she does what torshin directs her to do most likely. the significance is she's the link between torshin and the $30 million NRA "donated" to the trump campaign.

“The subpoena is significant because it indicates that the probe encompasses the welter of transactions done under the umbrella of the Trump Organization, with possible criminal liability for the organization itself,” said former Justice Department official Harry Litman. “Moreover, it means investigation into possible abuse of the organizational structure to serve Trump’s personal purposes.

It's irrelevant that the person who published the dossier is bff's with the indicted Russian?

You can't stop lying.

You can't stay on topic because the truth is poison to you.

Disgusting

I think Allen Weisselberg is much bigger than Trump knowing about the Trump Tower meeting.

They are going to put Allen Weisselberg under oath and start asking questions about financial issues. Allen is an older man, retirement age; He is not going to lie about anything. They will be asking about the Playmate, they will be asking about Stormy Daniels, and they will be asking if there was any other such "hush" payments and.... Then we will find out how many other people he has been paying off.

And this is just the very start of what Allen knows and what they can ask him under oath.

partially correct. true, isokoff is insignificant, false he "published" the dossier. he reported on it.

also, this thread isn't about that. let's stay on point.

He'll plead the 5th if he can.

Can he?

Weisselberg, who prepares Donald Trump’s taxes, according to the Journal, also served as treasurer of The Donald J. Trump Foundation, which has been sued by the New York attorney general and is under investigation for possible tax violations, and he was on the board of Trump’s Miss Universe Organization.

“He plays an integral part in the Trump Organization’s growth and continued financial success,” Ivanka Trump said in an email to the Wall Street Journal in 2016 while the newspaper was preparing a profile of Weisselberg. “He is deeply passionate, fiercely loyal and has stood alongside my father and our family for over [three] decades.”

Go to Israel.

You are not Americans.

Neither are you.

Do a DNA test. I'd almost bet that you have more roots to Israel than half the board... Who would you blame for everything then?

I do realize it's nearly impossible for you to follow a conversation but I was responding to a post..

If I understand correctly, he isn't being charged with anything. He is only testifying as to what Cohen did.

I just read that if the feds give him immunity he can't plead the 5th.
