So- the first of Donald Trump’s five trials is underway in New York. There’s this one, which is a civil case related to the Trump company’s business practices-and is a total farce.
Then there is the Alvin Bragg farce-also in New York-that charges trump with -federal? -election fraud? I think? Related to the Stormy Daniels pay off. That was a private, perfectly legal ‘non-disclosure agreement’, even if it looked slippery. It didn’t violate state or federal election laws, and other prosecutors at both levels of government have passed on any pursuit of the case-until this clownfart, Alvin Bragg, got elected the da of Manhattan.
He's a Soros DA going after Trump as he ignores New York’s skyrocketing crime.
Then there’s the Georgia ‘stolen election’ case and the two federal cases related to taking federal documents and January sixth.
There are-five- (there are more, but these are the highest profile ones)-there are five court cases pending against president trump. This is the first to hit the trial stage-
And what a farce it is: this case involves Letitia James- a Soros-funded attorney general who ran for office on the promise that she’d ‘get trump’.... claiming that she’s found all sorts of evidence of fraudulent business practices within the Trump organization.
This is based on her -very false- assessments of what the trump company’s assets are worth- as she claims Donald and the Trump kids lied and inflated their corporate records to get better financing deals out of banks...etc.
The problem is- Letitia James is no expert in corporate real estate-and she found experts who were willing to make ludicrous claims -like- Mar-a-Lago is only worth 18-million dollars. Trump’s resort down in Florida.
Folks, Florida realtors put its value at about 300 million...and gee. They’d know their own market, wouldn’t they?
And so-this entire case seems to be based on Letitia James’ lies and mischaracterizations...and it has now been put in front of a NY judge who has been equally open about his trump hating and his bias...
To the point that-even before the trial started- he put out a pre-trial assessment that yes, the trumps had committed corporate fraud here.
This judge looked at what Letitia James was claiming and said-yep- looks good to me. And given that there’s no jury. This is a judge-decided trial-
Well- Trump has already been found guilty of something before the trial ever started-and- stands to have his business shut down and sold off as part of any court settlement.
Folks-this is genuinely outrageous and insane. It’s a massive, multi-pronged govt attack on a US citizen who the elites in Washington DC- almost exclusively leftists-want to destroy.
This is the absolute ‘worst’ of the deep swamp being played out here, folks. I routinely disagree with things Trump says—or with his characterization of things-but he was right when he walked into court yesterday and said this:
This is expected to be a months-long courtroom battle that could cost trump hundreds of millions of dollars in fines and destroy the trump organization-
And the judge has already made up his mind.
And here’s the ultimate farce: there’s no victim here.
Donald Trump is correct when he says, ‘there’s no victim here’. And so- who, or what, is Letitia James going after him for?
Who is she ‘looking to get justice’ for? There’s no complainant in this case. There hasn’t been a bank, or a candy machine vender, that stepped up and started this case.
There is-genuinely-no identified victim here. And so- on her own? Letitia James decided to-from a position of power- just look into Trump’s businesses.
Just because she ran for office vowing to ‘get Trump’? How is this even legal?
She should be the one facing criminal charges-instead of trump facing these civil charges.
What even is this?
She puts together a false case and then gets it in front of a Trump hating judge who spent most of the day grinning yesterday. Like he was enjoying it?
As Trump left the courtroom- he was hot. Hot under the collar. And rightly so.
This is allegedly related to Trump’s company inflating it’s worth or value. To get better conditions for loans from financial institutions-correct?
Well-Trump’s attorneys say all the transactions in question were profitable ventures. The banks got their money back with interest. The loans were paid off. There is zero-
Zero- indication of either defaults or late payments on these loans.
Again-the banks didn’t bring the case. They loaned Trump’s organization the money. They got it paid back with no defaults or delays.
What’s the problem here?
Especially when anyone in corporate finance will tell you that-everyone. Every business or corporation or CEO that’s looking for a loan-will fudge a little when it comes to the actual value of their company.
It's simply assumed that anyone looking for financial backing for a new venture is going to put the best possible spin including boosting the numbers...to get the loan.
There’s no crime here. Civil or criminal.
I can’t stress enough that there’s been no actual crime or fraud here.
These New York activists-in positions of power- simply want to ruin and embarrass Donald Trump any way they can.
That’s all this is about. Loans were applied for. Loans were taken out. Loans were paid back.
What business is it of Letitia James’ or this judge’s if Trump exaggerated his holdings when he applied for those loans? No one is ‘out’ money. No one was defrauded.
Are democrats doing this simply- in the interest of truth?
Not a single democrat in a position of power-today-can seem to open their mouth without lying. Is this simply ‘the pursuit of truth’?
No. It’s not.
It’s a vile abuse of power to destroy a private, but powerful citizen of this country who the leftists don’t like.
That’s all it is. And it’s stuff like this that could get Donald Trump elected again.
And given that the judge has already made up his mind-trump was free to simply ‘swing away’ at him and Leticia James yesterday.
