Morning Memo: Prosecutors Still Haven’t Flipped Trump Org CFO

In true Trumpian style, Weisselberg was most likely double-dippin’.

Wouldn’t be the first time an accountant siphons off a few bucks.

Weisselberg has NO moral or strategic reason not to turn on rump. He of all people knows rump would throw him to the wolves in a heartbeat.

No. It would be more like “Who? Never met him.”

I could swear I read that Weisselberg had already flipped just last week!

Didn’t see anything in the article that supports the headline; i.e., Weisselberg could be cooperating on some issues and the DA could just be piling on potential charges to make sure a deal struck is a deal with opening for more cooperation.

Classic problem with amateurs at the grill, overdoing it with the damn steaks and continually flipping them.

flagged a ballot as suspicious because “every single oval was filled out perfectly , without a single stray mark,”

I guess you can’t vote if you have OCD.

Ron Johnson is kind of odd.

Thing about Johnson, he was (or appeared to be) a straight-ahead boring party line Republican before becoming “kind of odd.” Maybe he was always odd or maybe he’s jammed up, beholding to McConnell for dirty Russian money McConnell doled out for Johnson’s 2016 reelection. I’d like to know what goes on behind the curtains but guess I never will.

I suppose T____'s spawn have threatened to have Russian gangsters beat his kids to death. At his age, there’s not much potential upside to taking a stretch in stir, but there could be plenty of downside to ratting out T____.
