Legal analysts say Trump admitted that the intent in financial representations he made was to convince lenders to loan him money.
So colossal, we didn’t include it in the headline!
That’s how I know this is a big nothing-burger.
Great quote from a Slate op-ed: “You can often protect your client against the government, but you can never protect him against himself.”
Donald has to come back 💪🏻☝🏻
To court to face sentencing.
Federal pound him in the ass until he dies prison please
It’s a civil case so unfortunately this won’t result in jail time. A few good things can come out. First he could lose money and potentially properties in New York. He could also lose the ability to run a business in New York. Lastly, if he keeps saying and doing dumb shit there is a good chance that some of that helps the criminal cases he’s been arrested for. Then hopefully we put him in an old fashioned oubliette and we can all move on.
Of course? That’s why he was talking the the lenders in the first place. He was trying to get a loan. If he intentionally falsified the information is another question, but of course he was trying to get a loan.
When someone’s on trial for a crime, the state often needs to prove the person intended to commit the crime. Trump saying he intended to use those documents to secure a loan proves intent.
The court has already established the documents contained knowingly false information, with the residence that Trump has lived in for decades being listed as 3x its actual size. Even conservatively, his property holdings were overestimated by $812 million. The judge ruled there was no way that could be considered an accident.
So the court has ruled that the documents are knowingly false, and now Trump stated he intended to use them to get a loan. No lawyer in the world could get Trump out of this one.
yawn Oh yeah, I’m sure it was colossal, like so many other times.
