This is someone intent on asserting that because a person is charged with a crime, they are guilty of it.
There are one or two items that may run afoul of the rules. But I am sure he will generally argue the business use case and he may be telling the truth when he does so.
My sense is that the prosecutor thinks he's a bad apple because he works for Trump. And he wants to use him to bag Trump. But I don't think Weisselberg is necessarily a crook.
These are allegations made by prosecutors who extort results for a living. I don't see them as holding the moral high ground. For me, as a prosecutor, you should confine that sort of method for use against the mafia, in which people will get killed if you are gentle. But this is a case about corporate expenses.
I am interested to hear W's defence.
