such a jumble at times of different investigations of trump that it s easy to forget where he got out of this or that and the mueller probe, we heard from a mueller vet who explained why they thought he committed obstruction, that s not indictable that doesn t have anything to do with donald trump strategy, those are just rules he benefited from there have been the pardons that helped trump allies. i reminded viewers that s federal. there is no election, no federal development that could rescue donald trump from this indictment in new york yeah. you know, it s there is it s understandable in a way, because americans have seen donald trump get away with quite a lot. and there s kind of a comfortable cynicism that we can
contribution, excessive campaign contribution and false statements to the u.s. congress. all things associated with assisting donald trump in covering up this affair. allen weisselberg, who now has dropped his donald trump related lawyers, which is interesting. he pleaded guilty to grand larceny in the second degree, criminal tax fraud in the third degree, a scheme to defraud, conspiracy, criminal tax fraud, offering a false instrument. do you think there s a significance to him changing lawyers away from lawyers associated with donald trump in the last couple days i do, but i think with all due respect, as they say, i sort of view it potentially the opposite way in that i know the lawyers who used to represent allen weisselberg, the former cfo, who you correctly say has pleaded guilty to a host of crimes, and those were real
