Why would he lie about it - say he never saw it in the condos, etc.?

(14,631 posts)was the CFO of The Trump Organization for years until he resigned after Dump stole the election. He knows everything about the money laundering, tax fraud, and bank fraud.
They puposefully kept Cohen out of some aspects of their criminal enterprise.
Did I mention that Weisselberg got FULL IMMUNITY? That means he had to spill everything on everybody, with no exceptions, or his deal with prosecutors would be void.

Sorry, not pissed at you. Trying to keep from melting down.

(14,631 posts)This is why Dump will do anything to 'win' and by 'win' I mean 'cheat' . . . he knows what's coming.

I don't necessarily think he's afraid of Trump, but more afraid of the people that Trump was laundering money for.
If my memory serves correctly, Cohen was connected before Trump through the taxi business that he ran with someone else.
And if I remember correctly, that business was more scrupulous than the NYC real estate business.
