NY AG Letitia James files massive fraud lawsuit against Trump, his business, and his 3 eldest
children

As expected. Inflating the value of property for monetary gains apparently isn't a good thing

 

[ll74]

Among other allegations, the suit claims that the former president's Florida estate and golf resort, Mar-a-Lago, was valued as high as $739 million, but should have been valued at around one-tenth that amount, at $75 million

IRS or Campaign Finance fraud. Can't have two separate values. Really isn't rocket science

 

[butters]

i wonder if the AG watched HotD sunday... the green dress is the dress declaring war

how much the court will grant of the requests is arguable, but it is a civil case. I love she announced that all the information is being passed on to the IRS.

Public Advocate Letitia James didn’t just take $750,000 in public money that she didn’t need for her campaign this year: She spent $500,000 of it on Election Day itself — dumping money she’d otherwise have been obliged to return.

Her gaming of the system is arguably worse than Mayor de Blasio’s: He at least faced a credible general-election challenger. James’ little-known Republican rival, J.C. Polanco, raised just $26,000.

The public has an outside chance of clawing back some of James’ windfall: The CFB does post-election audits of campaign spending, and it will certainly give a close look at her last-day outlays. But if she dumped the funds on “legitimate” consultant-cronies, the board may be unable to do a thing.

In any case, it’s plain that James was happy to ding the public for every dime she legally could — which is a pretty remarkable approach for the city’s public advocate.

Deflection

Deflection

you expected more from Miles?

As expected, trump attorneys: "Today's filing is neither focused on the facts nor the law -- rather, it is solely focused on advancing the Attorney General's political agenda. It is abundantly clear that the Attorney General's Office has exceeded its statutory authority by prying into transactions where absolutely no wrongdoing has taken place."

Yep....deflection, as referenced in this thread earlier

Criminals gonna back criminals.


That is until they themselves get criminaled.

 

[KeithD]

Shut them down. Lock him up. Push the noses of the Trumpers into what they tolerate in serving their personal prejudices.

 

[jaF0]

Civil cases don't yield jail terms.

 

[butters]

Civil cases don't yield jail terms.

no, but the IRS and taxes... al capone can testify to that

 

[KeithD]

Civil cases don't yield jail terms.

They can upon criminal referral, which has been included in this case.

Michael Cohen's revenge.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Not the IRS. Civil suit by NY AG.

no, but the IRS and taxes... al capone can testify to that

 

[KeithD]

This is a great example of how Trump's inability to take care of those he expects to take care of him comes back to bite him in the ass. The revenge media are flooded with former Trump minions who were badly treated by him and now are shoveling his shit back over him.

 

[oggbashan]

No,

Civil cases don't yield jail terms.

but the DA has also said that she has found potential Federal and state criminal acts and has forwarded that information to the appropriate prosecutors.

 

[butters]

i had to smile as she spoke to the signings of trump's name on the bottom of the yearly (and other) statements submitted as to the values of the properties... how trump had increasingly insisted on having his own name right there, particularly on the papers with the inflated values, papers that would be used to secure huge bank loans.

such a monstrous ego.

 

[butters]

Not the IRS. Civil suit by NY AG.

who has informed the IRS of the fraudulent reports, the under and over valuing, the grift, the cons, the spit-in-the-taxpaying-public's eyes

he fought so hard to keep the documents out of the hands of the people who could take him down... those documents, from banks and from trump's own businesses, evidence now already offered and reviewed, of how he ignored genuine realty values given to him by bonafide parties and, instead, inflated those sums as much as 10 times (as in the case of mar-a-lago). The AG has in her possession more than this material she spoke of today, which she called 'just scratching the surface' of trump's dealings over 10 years. She spoke to some 200 examples of his fraud as being a 'scratching the surface'. The man is a grifter, a fraudster, a conman, a thief, who conned his way into the hearts, minds, and pockets of way too many susceptible idiots.

 

[butters]

so just 2 die-hard trumpidiots defending him or, should i say, attempting to say this is no biggie, just a witch hunt... there's an obvious pall of silence from the other usual culprits.

 

[butters]

fox's 'straight news' host cuts away from AG's announcements after just 40 seconds, as James began detailing the crimes the trumps were being accused of, calling it 'just inside baseball' for taxpayers outside NY and even to cast it as 'political' instead of a reckoning for decades of crimes.

anyone surprised? nah

[phrodeau]

“That’s not my signature. Some four-hundred pound guy in his bed scribbled that with a Sharpie.”

 

[KeithD]

This is just comparison of numbers put on two versions of reports on the same property--what it's worth as an asset to be used as loan collateral and wealth boast and what it's worth as a tax liability. Are the two reported numbers on the same property the same or different? If different, significantly different or a slight mistake different? How many properties are involved where significantly different numbers are reported?

What's political about that? What part of that can't the board Trumpettes honestly admit to understand? Speak up, board Trumpettes. I can hear you breathing on the board but I can't hear your honest response to further scamming by a man who had his charity closed down for scamming veterans and the American people and then his "university" closed down for scamming his students.

She noted that Trump insisted that the made-up worth number went up each year, no matter what.

Probably TFG has forgotten to pay them.
