Weisselberg has used a lot of questionable methods to invest in his own family. That was probably how he justified doing the shady stuff: my family will benefit.

But if the family is disgraced, and the money dries up, and he's facing jail time, he will start to consider his options.

I will point out that Teflon Don knows a quite few scary Russians, so if they want Weaselberg to flip, they will need to offer him some protections. Worth every penny.

This slow boat grand jury that ends just as his career does, since he's probably not running for the election. So, he gets to skip out f things go south.

I don't trust him. Tax evasion? This feels like a Mueller cookbook again..

Oh, you betcha.

But ... in the post-deluge, will anyone be shocked at what this creep does or says after Jan 666?

Such a perfect description doesn't need any references, but I clicked anyway. Somehow, it's even more perfect now.

What I've read from psychology literature is that suicide is almost unheard of in narcissistic personality disorder.

Which, unlike abortion, is explicitly forbidden in the Bible.

Milken. Stewart. Madoff.

Milken was paying a million dollars a month for his defense and still went to prison.

It can happen.

Toward the end of his life, there was a wonderful headline about Nixon:

"NIXON LIES IN COMA"

Yeah, but each time he'll consider it a massive victory, proving both his innocence and his genius.

I would imagine lots of ex-cult members feel the same way.
