Guess this flew under the radar
“Trump is SCREWED”
I hope so. I’ve been real curious about what this info would lead to. I guess we’re about to see. As long as Trump loses in Nov., right? So I hope so, but as the last 3-1/2 years of Republican dereliction has shown me, I’ll believe it when I see it. And in the meantime I’ll hope for it.
Of course, his base will just ignore whatever comes up from this.
Ignore, excuse, rationalize, deflect.
Seriously, where have these prosecutors been for the last 30 years? It has been my position that if they had gone after him seriously long ago, we would have never had a President Trump.
That’s the problem. The hardcore supporters, the one’s wearing MAGA hats and showing up at rallies like it’s a Michael Jackson concert are going to continue to support and vote for him. Even a good chunk of lifelong republicans (even if they’re not Trump fanboys) would have to hear something pretty heinous before they question their vote. And those heinous things are going to have to top everything we’ve heard over the past 4 years. Even then they’re more likely to decide between Trump, not voting and [looks up libertarian candidate] Jo Jorgensen. Though a republican not voting or voting for Jo Jorgensen is effectively a vote for Biden.
I’m sure it can swing some undecideds, and maybe that’ll make the difference, but there are a lot of people who aren’t going to change their vote for virtually any reason.
Vance was busy taking donations from Trump’s lawyers when Jr. and White House Barbie, were being investigated for fraud regarding sales of Trump Soho units (I think that was the exact issue). According to whispers from assistant prosecutors, there was outrage in the office because it was a pretty clear cut case with clear evidence in e-mails.
Edit: just have to add something to get around a similar deleted post because I replied to wrong person.
The subpoenaed material will remain secret until there is an actual indictment and trial. Not gonna happen before Nov. 3.
I want to know what Deutsche Bank thought it was doing when it allowed this guy to take out billions in loans. They surely knew he was a crook and an awful risk. Does Trump have video of Deutsche Bank in a Moscow hotel room with a couple of hookers?
How Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump, Jr., Avoided a Criminal Indictment
Kasowitz, who by then had been the elder Donald Trump’s attorney for a decade, is primarily a civil litigator, with little experience in criminal matters. But, in 2012, Kasowitz donated twenty-five thousand dollars to the reëlection campaign of the Manhattan District Attorney, Cyrus Vance, Jr., making Kasowitz one of Vance’s largest donors. Kasowitz decided to bypass the lower-level prosecutors and went directly to Vance to ask that the investigation be dropped.
Ultimately, Vance overruled his own prosecutors. Three months after the meeting, he told them to drop the case. Kasowitz subsequently boasted to colleagues about representing the Trump children, according to two people. He said that the case was “really dangerous,” one person said, and that it was “amazing I got them off.” (Kasowitz denied making such a statement.)
Guessing here… money was probably funneled from Russia. Putin knew he might have a puppet. A worthwhile gamble for Putin. Worked out pretty well for him. Gives him a chuckle every morning at least.
You’re probably right. Poor Deutsche Bank is clearly the victim here.
Suggest reading this book. It shows the whole Bank system was looking to grow, not always with and sense, just ‘make the big score’. https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Towers-Deutsche-Donald-Destruction-ebook/dp/B07NLFHHJ3
