When Weisselberg testifies, will he tell all he knows about Trump?

(what do you think?.). Whenever Weisselberg testifies? To save his own skin?
I don't know where or when Weisselberg will testify, maybe he won't, but what do you think?

He is more worried about what will happen to his family if he testifies than if he doesn't. The guv will put them in jail, but they (his kids - not him) will eventually be released alive.

The eastern europeans and saudis won't be so nice to his kids.

we don’t already know about trump.

If flipping would work to Weaselberg’s benefit, he’d have already done it to keep from going through the indictment, shame, etc.

Just like Cohen cooperated by telling Congress trump is a liar, cad, racist, greedy A-hole, etc. But that was known before he was elected.

He has been charged with non-violent offenses. He is much more likely to have fines, restitution, paying the back taxes, etc.

He will just dip into his off-shore hidden accounts and pay the fines. Play the game for his probation.

Die in his bed.

probably not going to happen. He knows that if he does disclose/corroborate anything that could even remotely threaten Traitor Don it would be a death sentence for not only him but his family as well. Conviction and some fines/incarceration would simply be the cost of doing business and a minor annoyance. He's playing the long game and will take the fall if necessary.
