PSA regarding the NYAG findings.

This is a civil matter, not criminal. The worst that can happen to this band of thieves is financial pain. Jail time from this is legally impossible.


That said, there could be criminal fallout from it, but we’re not there yet. We probably will not be there for a good while, if at all.



We return you now to your regularly scheduled mirth and merriment.

The cash settlement is not the major part of what she seeks. Basically giving them the corporate death penalty and then barring them from operating businesses again in NY State.

Also, important to remember that taking the 5th can be considered an admission of guilt in a civil trial and both Donald and Eric each took the 5th hundreds of times in their depositions. Donald took it over 400 times.

Regardless of criminal charges, this is YUGE!

15. Not minimizing it at all. Just stating a fact. This action by NYAG is civil, not criminal.

That is a factual statement.

This IS BFD. It will be painful. It will cause them financial ruin in NY and likely elsewhere.

I am actually curious how you read the OP as minimizing things. It actually just stated facts.

Do not be disheartened. The groundwork is being laid for air tight criminal charges and indictment of Trump.
