New York State Attorney General Letitia James scored a victory in court yesterday after Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Donald Trump and his two offspring, Don Trump, Jr.
Thank you for the well written analysis of the previous days news. I for one cannot wait for this to play out in front of the media. I have no doubt that AG James has enough evidence to make the Trump crime family dissolve their business entities in the state of NY. And to force them to pay monumental fines that will cripple them financially. As the evidence comes to light, the flagrant lying and deception so easily dispensed by the Trump’s will be used by all to mock and disparage them not only in our country but around the world.
I agree. We've been through hell at his hands, as well as the hands of his cohorts, supporters, and protectors, and we deserve to see him called to the carpet on a global stage, and watch him squirm.
However, that said, he's slipped out of so many instances where he should've been held responsible, and I suspect this will end up the same. Even if it does come to trial, there's no telling how many people will be seated in the jury who still hold a torch for their poor, misunderstood, witch-hunted dear leader. He's got protectors at every level, and if and when he's punished and made to pay for his crimes against society--least of all, US, the people he abused for 4+ years--then I'll believe it. Sorry, I struggle with optimism when it comes to seeing tRump punished for his blatant abuse of the system that routinely holds others responsible for their crap behavior.
That's what happens when his handlers slip up and get him off script. Why any sort of professional would associate with him and take on enormous risk to their reputation is beyond me.
Adverse inferences from "Taking the 5th" are allowed by the trier of fact in the CIVIL case. Deponent, Eric Trump, has already asserted "the 5th" over 500 times. The public can draw their own inferences as well.

With enough rope, he will hang himself.
Let's hope. Certainly his inability to keep his mouth shut will not bode well for him
If the attorney general is smart, she will give him lots of rope - and bait.

Bonus points for using the phrase: "screeds and howlers." :-)
key word, 'tainted'!
