A fraud case against Trump? Not a slam dunk, experts say
NEW YORK (AP) — For years, Donald Trump punctuated his reality TV spiels and presidential speeches with claims that his business and his many gold-plated properties were “huge,” “amazing,” the
Hilarious . How many threads did the tards start spraying their shorts over the latest we got him now story ?
A few highlights because it’s way too long for them to read and a little over their heads to understand .
Lawyers who examined the details of the allegations told The Associated Press that while Attorney General Letitia James could potentially bring a lawsuit alleging fraud, she will face two major hurdles: proving both an intent to deceive and that banks that loaned Trump money were actually fooled.
“Were you sloppy, lazy or overoptimistic about your prospects? If you were, that may be bad business, but it doesn’t necessarily rise to fraud,” said Will Thomas, an assistant professor of business law at the University of Michigan.

One important question is whether any misrepresentations in the company's financial statements "were intentional, knowing and intended to deceive,” said David S. Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor who reviewed the evidence for AP.
Intent is difficult to prove with real estate because it is an illiquid asset whose value, unlike publicly traded shares, isn’t being set by different investors constantly buying and selling, but by estimates, and often flawed ones.
“Even experts applying the same set of valuation tools might reasonably disagree about the ultimate valuation,” Thomas said.
Another problem is proving that banks, insurers and others doing business with the Trump Organization actually believed the false numbers.

One potential problem for the attorney general is that many of the company's financial statements included a line warning that the numbers were not audited, a warning that Trump lawyers are sure to highlight in any case.
Daniel Horwitz, a former Manhattan district attorney prosecutor, says its unclear that any professional lenders or insurers would have relied on those documents, or not taken them with a grain of salt.
“Were they fooled, were they duped? Did the lenders care about this? If they didn’t really care about mistakes or inaccuracies, it’s going to be pretty difficult to prove a case,” he said.
Let's have everyone's favourite memories from a year ago!!!
After SBD "promised" and "guaranteed" that Biden would never take the oath and would never set foot in the White House.
Sportsnutsack, sportsm60, RED of course, and all you other gullible deplorables, tell us how you were glued to the tv, family and friends gathered around waiting for Joe to be arrested and the orange moron to be reinstated.
Tell us how your worlds were shattered when of course nothing at all happened?
CLASSIC memories!!!!

#WINNING!!!!!!
Once again a 100% COPIED post from a year ago which turned out to be a FAILED prediciton and a LIE then makes you look even more????
Today will be forever remembered as the day Biden and his controllers staged a fake inauguration to trick some into believing he was the actual president.
It will be the day we remember as President Trump choosing to temporarily leave the White House so that the new fake administration could fully expose themselves and their evil and sinister agenda.
It was a game changing event that even took the op, and others, by surprise.
But, in the end, it proved to be a brilliant move in this war game of "chess".
Because of President Trump's decision to sign the EO 2 days earlier (1/18/21) he transferred power to the military [devolution] while drastically limiting any power the fake administration had during this time ["damage control"].
His plan worked to perfection.
The fake Biden administration and the evil and sinister ones behind the covid scam and mass genocide event and attempted NWO "Great Reset" Plan have been brought into full public view and fully exposed.
Like the op stated and maintained, "sometimes you have to show The People, only then can REAL change happen".
The world now sees it all.
And now justice can be served and order restored.
stupid that you already are if possible that is!!! lol
Great idea by the senile puppet’s handlers letting him speak for close to two hours yesterday .
Russia will face lesser consequences for launching a “minor” attack against Ukraine .
Wasn’t this suppose to happen with Trump due to the compromising pee tape Putin had in his possession lightweight ?
Lol
I hope not because imo there are and will be much better candidates by the time 2024 rolls around,
However as I said yesterday, if somehow the matchup was between her and Trump, the only way that Trump could win would
be by winning the EC Votes.
He could NEVER EVER defeat Hillary in the Popular Vote no matter how hard he tried!!
