Per Twitter, NY AG Leticia James:

[634-5789]

Today, I filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump for engaging in years of financial fraud to enrich himself, his family, and the Trump Organization.

There aren't two sets of laws for people in this nation: former presidents must be held to the same standards as everyday Americans.
Actions have consequences. We're seeking to:

➡️Make Trump pay $250 million.

➡️Ban the Trumps from running NY businesses for good.

➡️Ban Trump and Trump Org from buying commercial real estate in NY for 5 yrs.

➡️We're making a criminal referral to the U.S. Dept of Justice.

With the help of Donald Jr., Eric, Ivanka, and other defendants, Trump variously unlawfully inflated and deflated his net worth by billions to obtain and satisfy loans, get insurance benefits, and pay lower taxes.

In short, he lied to gain massive financial benefits for himself.

1. And I'm betting she

has all the proof needed to win!

[Heather MC]

3. Michael Cohen, Mary Trump

And Maybe his Judge sister🤔

[claudette]

4. Could be

Plus all the documents, too

[Heather MC]

5. The most inferiorating thing, is the Donald Trump is not a criminal mastermind

And yet he was able to get away with this s*** for like what 57 years or something

🤦🏾?♀️

And our government is still scratching their heads trying to figure out how to put this criminal in prison, but they will put a black man in jail for 50 years for stealing $50 with no problem.

And don't get me started on all the black men that get exonerated after 40/50 years for crimes they never committed.

but trump who literally has evidence probably stuck on the bottom of his shoe like a piece of toilet paper, they can't seem to arrest his a** I don't, I don't get it

9. It's part of the "don't arrest, don't jail" doctrine.

Sort of analogous with the military's policy to deal with gay GI's except that had nothing at all to do with intentionally deferring prosecution of the entitled no matter what they did because they have powerful friends.

[DENVERPOPS]

14. Exactly Heather

I remember back in the 80's, the Rocky Mountain News did a news story on two facing pages.
On one, Michael Wise, CEO of Silverado Savings defrauded taxpayers to the tune of TWO BILLION DOLLARS, and he got off scott free.
On the other adjoining page, it had a black guy who pulled a holdup of a convenience store, got 47 dollars, and was sent to prison for twenty years......

[onetexan]

12. and Weisselberg's singing, others as well, as part of the plea deal.

[dchill]

2. And so. Let's not forget all the trials and tribulations of Trump.

The Trump crime family. It really is happening!

[Mr.Bill]

6. I wonder how Jared Kushner

managed to escape being named today.

[Joinfortmill]

18. Not part of Trump Org. His turn is coming.

16. Is this just another one of Trump's chicken shit operations?

[rrze]

8. civil is smart

This will effectively end the Trump organization. No Trump signs in NYC (can't wait). Criminal cases to follow, which means Shitler will be actively fighting: NY Civil case (with criminal charges form SDNY & IRS surely following), the Georgia election interference, the Mar-a-Largo slam dunk of stolen docs, the rape charge with the Jan 6th case so to follow. Not enough "cheap to free" lawyers and ketchup in the world.

[calimary]

20. Welcome to DU, rrze!

Makes me wonder if he'll simply relocate all his business ops to New Jersey and stroll around like nothing ever happened.

And if not New Jersey, it wouldn't surprise me if he tried in Delaware. To add insult to injury - because it's President Biden's home state.

[Half-step]

10. It's a good thing that Ivana is buried on a NJ property...

And not a Trump business property in NY.

Because things could get really, really weird.

[Joinfortmill]

19. OMG

[Bev54]

11. I think she is asking that he can not obtain loans from any banks that

are registered in the state of New York, (maybe for 5 years?) which would be most major banks.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. I smell lots of lawsuits just over the horizon.

Banks and insurance companies will sue Traitortrump, if for no other reason than to cover their own asses.

[DENVERPOPS]

15. The Republicans are celebrating tonight.

They loathed Trump, but couldn't and wouldn't come out against him for fear of losing his massive numbers of voters......

So, they let the Dems do their dirty work of crushing him so their hands would be clean.

Now the Republican Party will be able to divert his crowds of 70 million voters to another Republican politician.
I fear the Republican Party will get behind DeSantis, who in reality could be much worse than Trump....(if that is possible)

Of course, if the Republicans take the House and Senate in six weeks, nothing will matter forever more......The 2024 Presidential election will be a farce, not unlike the democratic vote in Russia. The House and Senate will go all out to establish
a Corporate Fascist Tyranny.........They will quickly re-write major parts of the U.S. constitution that will allow them to win every election, at every level, from them on.........As well as completely eradicating the present constitution, Democracy, and the Rule of Law

21. This is sweet .. punishment for hanging on to the classified docs ...

Link to tweet

Kurt Eichenwald @kurteichenwald

…finally, the pièce de résistance : after court ordered him to produce documents, Trump lied about complying. NYAG just discovered. How? The documents appear in the inventory from FBI’s Mar a Lago search. AND JUDGE CANNON REVEALED IT WITHOUT KNOWING ITS IMPORTANCE!! Mm…catnip.

He plead the fifth 440 times ... and then nails himself lying about complying with a court order with evidence found in the Mar-a-lago search. Those are some of the 'personal' documents he identified as his in the classified docs case that he wants back.

Mar-a-lago search warrant got evidence of Trump perjuring himself in AG James case.

It is so fitting to see him getting nailed for lying.

That is poetic.
