Sounds like the kind of guy you'd want to work for.

Even though he pleaded guilty to 15 felonies, Weissberg is still on the Trump payroll collecting $640,000 in salary and expects to get another $500,000 for his annual bonus. The day after he pleaded guilty, his son threw a birthday party for him at Trump Tower.
As part of his testemony, Weissberg testified

Then:

Trump slamming Weisslberg publicly sounds bad, but it does not sound like Weisslberg, Trump, the Trump family or the Trump organization are turning on each other and they are not stabbing each other in the back.

It’s the only reason that no Trump is going to prison for this or the fines weren’t larger. The CFO fell on his sword and took the blame.
