He Could’ve Taken Down the Trump Org. Now He’s Taking the Blame. (Daily Beast)

Jeffrey McConney had a front-row seat for the untaxed perks that he and other Trump Organization executives received. He took an immunity deal, and then tried to take the blame.

He is taking the blame for Trump Organisation CFO Alan Weiselberg, claiming as a decades-long accountant he “did not know” that things such as luxury apartments and tuition payments for private schools are tax-deductible.

A quirk in New York law says that if you admit to a crime in front of a grand jury, you cannot be charged for that crime. Thus, Mr. McConney (now known as the person named as “Individual-1”) can’t be charged for tax evasion. The point is to get Mr. Weiselberg off the hook by taking the blame himself. He was the principal witness against Mr. Weiselberg.
