yeah, that makes a lot of sense. he directly reported in to wiseleberg. while you re here, i have the benefit of getting you on the big news day with don mcgann, former white house testifying. you worked for robert mueller and mcgann was famously part of the resistance internally to donald trump s unlawful order trying to fire muller without cause. he s telling lawmakers, reading from judiciary information, trump asked him to do some crazy blank. he was worried firing muller, your boss, was the point of no return, things could spiral out of control into a second, quote, saturday night massacre. your response. well, from my quick read from his quite voluminous testimony, he appeared to now under oath confirm what is in the report, which is that he was asked by
alan would not take an hour or day off if donald was in the office. that doesn t breathe without trump s permission or knowledge. his office is right next door. he discusses everything with him. wiseleberg works directly with all the family. there he is, right behind donald and the kids who credit him publicly as fiercely loyal and from growing up in brooklyn to studying accounting, driving a cab, wiseleberg s big break first came in 1973 with the trump family. when donald trump s father fred, a real estate developer, hired him after he applied for a job listed in a new hampshire ad. donald trump would put the former cab driver in charge of the big money decisions following a pattern where trump has promoted people far beyond the kind of job they might otherwise get in the open fair market which makes them extra
eager to keep that post, even push boundaries. trump himself wrote about wiseleberg in his book think like a billionaire dubbing him one of the toughest people in the business when it comes to money. here s the key part, he did whatever was necessary to protect the bottom line, trump said. he was sent to handle all kinds of priorities from atlantic city to miss universe. a supporting character on the apprentice. replacing george this week is my chief financial officer allen weisselberg. you think george is tough, wait until you see alan. alan? i felt that andy losing his lines of communication was a serious matter. if this was a military matter and he lost his lines of communication, he could lose his entire battalion. that was a simpler time. from faking it till allegedly making it to faking it again
about it. when it comes time to the financing which will be so the three of them in on that. how did wiseleberg get out of his role in that jam? this brings us to another point. wiseleberg can be legally pressed or flipped, it s just that it s never happened against donald trump but when the feds wanted all the goods on that deal, stuff from that call i just played you, wiseleberg was willing to cooperate as long as he got immunity for himself and he provided information against cohen who went to prison. in a dlieblg that legally you are supposed to tell prosecutors everything, i mean every last thing but did wisele man find a way to focus on the things that seemed to implicate cohen more than trump? we don t have the raw interview transcripts. we just have the fact that is known, three men arranged a now convicted crime for the benefit of one of them, donald trump, and one of those three men did time for it, michael cohen.
remember, it was wiseleberg who got immunity and was talking to the feds. so think about what was really happening when everything we know now then. remember the tape. and i ve spoken to allen wiseleberg about how to set the whole thing up. so i m all over that. and i spoke to allen about it. spoken to allen about it. three trump org officials arranged that crime for trump and he calls the one doing time a rat while the one talking, wiseleberg, gets to watch from a safe distance. certainly not called out in public. and this is actually a pretty famous gray area in criminal stories from stories like whitey bulger and from the film the departed. it s a theme the artists push at tea explorers in a song about a
