Funny how no one on the left here has mentioned this.
Could that be because the people who give them their marching orders as to what to say are having a difficult time spinning the testimony that exculpated Trump?
Part of Weisselberg's testimony:

Part of Weisselberg's testimony:
Alan Futerfas, a lawyer for the company, coaxed Mr. Weisselberg into acknowledging that Mr. Trump was not to blame for the scheme, saying, “He didn’t authorize you to commit tax fraud, did he?” Mr. Weisselberg agreed that Mr. Trump did not.
And when Mr. Futerfas asked Mr. Weisselberg, “Were you reducing the compensation because you didn’t want to hurt the company?” He responded, “No, my intention was to save pretax dollars,” a key admission that could undercut the prosecution’s attempt to show that Mr. Weisselberg was not acting solely for his own benefit.
Mr. Futerfas, referring to the tuition, asked if it was “solely done to benefit you, Allen Weisselberg.” Mr. Weisselberg agreed that it was.

Allen H. Weisselberg came close to tears as he told how money for cars, apartments and tuition was camouflaged in the ledgers of the company he served.
