Michael Popok: 'Donald Trump GUILTY VERDICT in Criminal Trial MORE LIKELY Than Ever'

Source:Meidas Touch thinks Defendant Don is worried about Allen Weisselberg. And not worried in the sense of will Allen Weisselberg survive Rikers Island and be poisoned there or something. But something else.

"Michael Popok of Legal AF explains how Allan Weisselberg’ s new plea deal and felony perjury conviction on the eve of the start of the NY criminal trial against Trump in less than 3 weeks, strengthens the prosecution’s case to convict Trump and balances out any attack on Michael Cohen as a key prosecution witness." 

From the Meidas Touch

From what my colleague Fred Schneider wrote about Allen Weisselberg back in October: 

"That's what we're seeing here against Allen Weisselberg. The man is 73 and the idea that he could spend the rest of his life in a New York State prison, or even 10 years of that, even in a minimum security facility, can't be attractive to him. Unless he's completely high or drunk and that obviously could change everything. 

So Mr. Weisselberg is telling the New York State Attorney General, this is what he knows about how the Trump Organization led by Donald Trump does business, to save his own life, or at least well-being. And that can't be good for Mr. Trump, because his former CFO probably knows everything about Trump Org.'s business and finances." 


Again, I'm not a lawyer. And if that sounds redundant, it means you are reading and following this blog. But even after Michael Popok explains this and I'm sure just from what I've been seeing on social media, MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirschner seems to agree with Poppok here, I still don't see how the fact that Allen Weisselberg, whose now an official serial liar and perjurer, helps the Manhattan District Attorney here. 

Now it's one thing, similar to Michael Cohen, if Mr. Weisselberg is just there to confirm documents and the testimony from actual, credible, witnesses, about the Trump Organization. Which is similar to how Donald Trump's own children were used to testify against their father back in October or November. But, if he's there to not only deliver, or confirm, information about Donald Trump and the Trump Organization that only he could know as it's former chief financial officer, you could see (unless you are blind) why if anything DJT's attorney's would want Weisselberg taking the stand. 

Just to give a possible cross-examination, perhaps even Saturday Night Live inspired cross-examination of Allen Weisselberg, by the Trump's attorney's, assuming the judge allows these questions to be asked:

"Mr. Weisselberg isn't it true that you are not even a liar, not even a serial liar, but a convicted serial liar?" 

What's Weisselberg, going to say here: "I was convicted or perjury."? That will make him look really good in front of the jurors. Unless they're all blind and death. But the defense only needs 1 juror to vote their way. 

I guess Mr. Weisselberg could say: "Look, at least I don't lie as much as your client. I'm an honest, decent, law biding, taxpaying, American patriot, compared with your client." Again, I don't know how this helps the prosecution here. And I know he's already in jail and any decent, competent, human being, especially when they're in their mid or late 70s, doesn't want to die in jail. Especially at some hellhole like Rikers Island. 

But Allen Weisselberg has already lied twice under oath, knowing what the consequences were going to be and how old and unhealthy he is. Who's to say that simply doesn't give a damn anymore at this point in his long life?
