See February 2022 discussion in, e.g., [this thread starting at about post #4530.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-perfectly-reasonable-amount-of-schadenfreude-about-things-happening-to-trump-his-enablers-part-1/925537/4530) Details: As JohnT noted in his post #4537 in that thread, > [@JohnT](#): > > Mazars has told the world: > > 1. Trump’s financials cannot be trusted. > 2. … because of information provided by the NY AG on January 18th, 2022. > 3. (Implication being that the NY AG has credible evidence of fraud and criminal wrongdoing.) > 4. They try to weasel by saying the statements, in toto, are likely correct… it’s just the details that are worrisome. lololol. > 5. It ain’t our fault! Look! We did an internal review and everything! > 6. Regardless, given all this, we just can’t work with you. There are some conflict issues, Donnie, and you’re just a little _too_ hot. > > The ‘nonwaivable conflict of interest’ line sticks out to me. The nonwaivable conflict of interest is not with another, more valuable, client, the conflict is with the _law!_ The legal issues are the conflict of interest, that’s why they’re unwaivable! 😂 The NY AG has them dead to rights, and Mazars is saying ‘uh, to survive as a firm, we can’t declare ourselves to be on the side of the criminals.’ > > And they’re right. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ny-ag-letitia-james-drops-the-civil-hammer-on-trump-family-9-21-2022/971991)._
