He is referring to the idea that Weisselberg did cooperate with feds and actually received some limited immunity for it.He was subpoenaed, was he not?The CFO appeared as back as 2018.You actually think they’ve been cooperating with Vance? Seriously?well yeah...of course...but we didn't have that here....Vance in an unprecedented move indicted him for a crime...never before has that happened for this sort of thing.Maybe in a normal proceedings the accountants would have sat down with auditors.that’s certainly an argument his accountants would make with the govt auditors in a normal proceeding…but this of course is a witch hunt and unprecedented move…so certainly one his attorneys will be using at trial…and rhe Govt burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt it wasn’tAre you sure? Some of the Trump faithful here have been trying to say that Weisselberg’s apartment in Manhattan was necessary temporary housing. You know, temporary as in 15 years.nobody is alternating reality about the trumped up case against Weisseberg
Others have been pretending like the case is just car payments.
Others are pretending that tax fraud isn’t criminal.
certainly seems reasonable the business would want him to have an apartment in town closer to the office to use so he could be readily available instead of communiting all the time from his home in the suburbs
Trump’s organization refused to allow that to happen.
If he wanted to play hardball, he’ll get hardball. Just don’t complain when the prosecutors don’t cut you any slack.
And he's been cooperating with Vance and the Grand Jury since 2018.
The "hardball" is because Vance didn't hear what he wanted to hear.
They have where they felt they had to, and fought on issues where they thought he was going to far. Which is there right, and on some issues they apparently were, like trumps personal tax returns, which they have and found zippy to charge him with and his CFO wouldn’t say what they wanted so they took this unprecedented move
Kinda hard to claim you’re cooperating when all you did was comply with a minimum legal obligation.
They did not cooperate. They took Vance to the Supreme Court to get the tax returns for the organization. They refused to let anyone sit down voluntarily. They refused to turn over any information unless compelled.
They didn’t cooperate. Saying otherwise is defying reality.
But that doesn't preclude someone from being charged and convicted of crimes, nor does it establish full cooperation.
