Donald Trump Reminds me of an "Arrogant Crook" from a James Bond Movie. The worst of the worst

... Donald Trump and his family act as if they are sure that they will never be caught. The worst of the worst from a Bond movie. Take your pick. It doesn't matter. Because in the end, the crooks are caught.
...The investigators from New York State and those in FBI and other federal agencies know the facts and are keenly aware of Trump's attitude. Will the agencies get the crooks? I think the key to it all is simple.
In defying the law, did the crooks make some "mistakes" that could cost them jail time? Or huge fines?
...One thing that I see as a Trump flaw is that when he has made mistakes with his business, he has declared bankruptcy to get out of trouble. We have all seen that. But in this case, if he has broken the law, there is no bankruptcy to declare. Only trials and proving or disproving that the law was broken. Has Trump's crew made mistakes in breaking the law? It appears that they have.
... About this "breaking the law" that Trump and Trump's family appear to have done. It will be up to investigators and prosecutors to determine all of that. The investigators and prosecutors from New York State seem to be totally aware of Trump. Also, federal law enforcement is aware of Trump and what he has done.
...Last question. Are those prosecutors and investigators from federal and state agencies in a position and willing to pursue Trump and his family and gang for what they have done?
... I believe the answer is simply, yes. They have already gotten quite a few of them, and those they got will testify against those they will get. The prosecutors and investigators want to get the "top crook" in charge. That seems to be their goal. As has been pointed out, time will tell. But I believe the prosecutors and investigators really want to get the "top crooks" and will get them, no matter how much time it takes.

"The details of my life are quite inconsequential ... Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute named Chloé with webbed feet. My father would womanize; he would drink; he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament ... My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon ... luge lessons ... In the spring, we'd make meat helmets ... When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds — pretty standard, really. At the age of 12, I received my first scribe. At the age of 14, a Zoroastrian named Vilmer ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum — it's breathtaking ... I suggest you try it."
