Honig: Why potential guilty plea for ex-Trump Org CFO is a problem for Trump

Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, is in talks to potentially plead guilty to a perjury charge related to a civil investigation into the real estate company’s finances, people familiar with the matter said. CNN Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig discusses with CNN's Kaitlan Collins. #CNN #News

Weisselberg deserves jail time and no plea agreement!!!

[mrshp]

Why is everyone going to jail except the con man, lock his @ss up

[rajo]

It must be humiliating to discover that you’re 76 years old and that “Wha? I’m going to prison for Donald again? “ What a way to spend your last years.

[kjd]

100 days for 15 years of tax fraud sounds ridiculous.

[joerogain]

Billionaires do not beg for money and geniuses do not brag about how they aced a cognitive dementia test.

What does it take to enforce the "Rule of Law, and All Equal Before the Law?"

[kiphenrie]

Wake up America. Throw him and jail and lets get back to normal. I cant wait till hes gone.

[rtqii]

At his trial Weisselberg was convicted and spent time in Rikers. His attorney cut a deal pleading his advanced age and willingness to testify honestly. He got out of Rikers after a wrist slap and then committed perjury under oath in the civil case when he was called as a witness.

[pilargonzalez]

When will these liars and cheaters all be held accountable???

[ladydpo]

Why does this guy keep going into the slammer for Trump, while Trump escapes? Taking the heat off Habba for one night! What a crew!

[MTed]

5yrs jail. Minimum. This is insane! They keep getting free passes. My brother got 2 yrs for jumping a fence to see his girlfriend. He is 17!!!! Where is the justice 😡😡🤬🤬🤬

[hgfku-tnhb]

It would be an insult to the American justice system for Trump and his cronies to get away with their accountabilities

[kevinwasserburger]

Not at all suspect to have a "Do not cooperate with law enforcement" clause in a severance package. ...and 40% of the country can't see that he's nothing but a crook.

[BillTaylor-grgt]

Wieselburge is the Sammy the bull of the Trump organization

[danielminutilli]

Served 100 day sentence for 15 years of corporate fraud. Sounds fair. Right.

[dblocker]

What's troubling is the fact that so many people think that all of this should simply be ignored. How is it that so many people will defend the wealthy and powerful, for acts that they themselves would be held accountable for?

[chumpthetraitor]

Chump tried to look down on Caitlin. However, Caitlin will still have a good career while Donnie sit in jail.

[jamesmcbeth]

He had a severance package that required him to not cooperate with law enforcement. That makes it seem like he was working for a criminal organization for some reason.

[jdemartini]

Hopefully “Weasel-berg” is sent back to Rikers, this time in general population rather than protective custody.

[footballnerd]

Weisselbergs severage package contained an agreement not to comply with law enforcement if contacted.

Tells you everything you need to know about Trumps crime ring.
