Whether the president's business had inflated the value of its assets for the purposes of tax breaks and loans has reportedly been the key issue.

The New York attorney general's office said Tuesday that it is pursuing a criminal investigation into the Trump Organization, in addition to the ongoing civil probe.

"We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the organization is no longer purely civil in nature. We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA. We have no additional comment at this time," Fabien Levy, a spokesperson for the office, said in a statement.

Now that the “inciting an insurrection” nonsense has joined “collusion with Russia” and “ bribery of Ukraine” in the trash heap failed criminal prosecutions, hope springs eternal for the dreamers. Does anyone still clinging to fantasies of seeing the former president imprisoned have any theories about what crimes will be alleged, and exactly who might be charged? And how many more years the investigation will go on before we actually see charges filed? Which is more likely over the next year: Trump being convicted of criminal charges or the Jets winning the Super Bowl?

Only Fascist traitors support a Fascist traitor. The next steps will be ugly. But when you are dealing with Fascism...they are necessary...and make no mistake...very un-American.

You keep conflating liberalism and disagreeing with authoritarian leftist like yourself with fascism.

It's not

When/if it comes, it will be by one of the duped former rabid Trumpettes--or someone whose spouse took Trump's COVID cure and died.

The continuing Democrat attack on Trump continues in hopes to spoil his 2024 election chances. Hopefully Vance will get hit by a bus or something.

I can't seem to recall any time where someone on the right has wished a political opponent dead by assassination...

guess you've been hiding from those who dislike Clinton. I rarely came across a social media post that didn't call for her death in any way. Of course, those same people believe she drinks aborted baby blood in the basement of a pizza parlor and have killed off all who have info about it...but they are certainly right wingers.

You weren't around here for the Obama years so your ignorance is somewhat understandable.

Trump rally speaker fantasizes about death of Hillary Clinton

Trump adviser and regular rally speaker Al Baldasaro was investigated by the Secret Service this summer after saying in an interview, “Hillary Clinton should be put in the firing line and shot for treason.” In August, the Secret Service reportedly spoke to the Trump campaign multiple times about the Republican nominee’s suggestion that “Second Amendment people” could prevent Clinton from stocking the federal bench with her appointments should she be elected.

On Wednesday, a Trump supporter brought an effigy of Clinton with a noose around her neck to a campaign rally in North Carolina.

Interesting how many times Trump supporters bring nooses to their events

The 2001 anthrax attacks, also known as Amerithrax (a portmanteau of "America" and "anthrax") from its FBI case name,[3] occurred in the United States over the course of several weeks beginning on September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 terrorist attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and to Democratic Senators Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy, killing five people and infecting 17 others. According to the FBI, the ensuing investigation became "one of the largest and most complex in the history of law enforcement".[4]​

And this, of course.
