        I do, however, largely agree with your premise that Weisselburg isn't necessarily a huge shoe to drop, if in fact, his immunity is use immunity. But, it is a sign to others @ Trump Org that may want out of a criminal conspiracy, that SDNY is ready to listen.

        Also, do we not believe Mueller has hauled in in before GJ? His culpability is just as compelling if not more so when it comes to money laundering, tax evasion etc. it seems no one is willing to put loyalty to DJT above jail.

        Trump's longtime employees know Trump will throw them to the wolves to save his own skin. They also know where a lot of the bodies are buried, so they have a lot of insight into his criminality & amorous personal life. They know pardons are unlikely AND won't cover state charges.

        The smartest thing for the Trump's to do is to blame Cohen. They got bad legal advice. See recording. Admit wrong doing. Give mea culpa and pay back any amount plus damages/fines to govt. They have one problem: they can't get out of their own way. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/08/25/on-use-immunity-and-predictions-of-doom-for-the-presidency/ …pic.twitter.com/sKuDYVApRv

        Plenty of proof Trump is not smart. Very certain he's done all kinds of illegal business dealings. He has treated subordinates like crap for years. Mueller is an a great investigator = Trump is fked and knows it. The question is, what crazy thing will he do when they close in.

        Did they waive privilege on the tapes to avoid them being flagged by special master as crime/fraud exception? That would have gotten more bad press mileage, sooner.
