Being the person who would be arranging these benefits. both for himself and others. donald trump, who doesn t leave reckon records of his communication, with someone like allen weisselberg, in order to know for a jury satisfaction that donald trump approve that are directed that, that s where you would have to get weisselberg s testimony saying donald trump told me to do this. in the way that michael cohen testified in his own case that donald trump ordered him to commit those campaign finance crimes. exactly right. you need someone who was in the room that said, donald trump ordered this to happen. donald trump of prove this. it was donald trump s decision. without that evidence, you can t have criminal culpability. i think we also have to remember that, in all likelihood, this is the first stage. the first round of what will be ....
But to be able to follow that criminal liability to the very top, you need people inside cooperating. that s again why weisselberg is so important but everything about donald trump s life and everything about his every day in office spells corruption. so none of this is surprising. it s just the same kind of grift private practice that heat imported to the white house. chairman adam schiff thank you very much for joining us tonight, i appreciate it. thank you. thank you. and coming up, what is the political impact of the name trump appearing in criminal indictments tomorrow the trump company which donald trump has always said he hires the best people. certainly, maxwell and jonathan alter will join us next. i feel free to bare my skin yeah, that s all me. nothing and me go hand in hand nothing on my skin, that s my new plan. nothing is everything. ....
