hi everyone, it s 4:00 in new york as we come on the air, we are following breaking news. at this hour, one of the disgraced twice impeached ex-president s closest advisers, allen weisselberg is on route to the notorious rikers island. if he hasn t arrived already. he s been sentenced to five months behind bars for executing a tax scheme. he had been facing up to 15 years in prison but struck a deal with prosecutors pleading guilty to 15 felony counts including tax fraud, conspiracy and grand larceny, and agreeing to testify against the trump org, though notably not against the big boss, donald hymn or any of his family. weisselberg who is 75 years old has been with the trump org for 50 years. technically he was the chief financial officer, but cfo doesn t capture how central he is to the trump org and the shady transactions or how complicit he was in the dirty dealings of the ex-president. nobody knows that better than michael cohen who had and has and has shared the r ....
When you look to see who really should be the one that s incarcerated and i don t think that it should have been allen. i think allen should have been more forthright and should have given up the goods on donald and the rest of the family. tell me what s going through your mind when you re working for trump doing things that you know are illegal. you re not going to get caught. that s really what it s all about. donald expects you to do what he wants you to do. this notion that allen came up with this, he may have heard about it and presented it to donald, but it was ultimately donald s decision and no one else s. they then i m sure spoke to the accountants and said, look, this is legitimate, you don t have to do it. there are companies that give perks, you know, to their employees. how they end up putting it on the tax returns, i don t know. i ve never seen those tax returns. at the end of the day, it s always about not complying with ....

what was this about. i guess what i m getting at is no i mean, i can t imagine, you tell me, was it allen weisselberg s idea to pay himself in tuition for his grandchildren and rental cars from trump. remember, allen is not the only one that received these sort of benefits. other executives received similar benefits as well. allen weisselberg was as close to being ceo as anybody else that was there. more so even than the children. when donald ended up moving to d.c. and they put the trump org allegedly in trust, one of the issue was who s going to sign every single check. the answer was clear, everybody knew who was going to be in advance. that was allen weisselberg, the trustee of the trust. he had been with donald, for decades. and his father before that, yes. allen is not a cpa, allen was a bookkeeper, who ultimately ....
