This is what I've been saying: https://objectivejournal.wixsite.com/objectivejournalist/post/uncle-joe-biden-s-stalinist-raid-of-giuliani-and-the-likely-future-arrest-of-his-opponent-trump

Do people really think they are screwing around in NY? Are we just going to let the Democratic Party turn this country into a police state where they arrest the political opposition?

What activity are they saying was illegal? Or is this just a witch hunt?

They are looking for a crime. No evidence as of yet.

Less witch hunt, more star chamber.

It looks like they are trying to make the case that the Trump organization fraudulently inflated the vale of assets to be used as collateral for loans. Since Trump had little involvement in these type of day to day activities they will have to pressure executives to testify against him.

Another witch hunt. Keep him in a bad light. He won in 2020. If we survive to 2024 and he runs he will win then and I don’t think they could cheat enough this time. They will be being watched and dominion is going down soon.

In the Left’s mind, Trump is a criminal. Now they just have to find a crime to convict him.

The Left will tear the country apart to get its way. It does not care about long term consequence. It only cares about having power. And the GOPe is part of it.

I keep hearing this as the "charge". We're supposed to believe a bank would lend millions on a building without doing its own appraisal.

Trump and his holdings have had a target on their back for years. His taxes and businesses have been audited by the IRS for years and there has been no evidence of crimes. The NY DA and the libs on his grand jury could indict a bologna sandwich which will go nowhere.

First they have to prove a crime. Trump is going to defend himself too. He’s not president anymore, and he’s going to throw everything he has at them.

The borrower doesn’t determine the value of an asset that is used as collateral for a loan. Go tell your bank you want a $500,000 second mortgage on your $300,000 home and see how far that gets you. HINT: Telling them the home is really worth $2 million isn’t going to do the trick.

Again with the ‘experts’. Enough, already.

I’m an expert and I say with near certainty that PDJT will be indicted and brought to trial. Probably one of his sons, also.

The Dems cheated their way to Power, with the Devil’s help. They own the DOJ, the Military, the Media Sewer and have cowed the Corporate World into self-abasing Wokeness.

Feeling secure in their power, they will seek to run the table and kill all their opposition. They seek to ensure the longevity of their Thousand Year Reich.

Gonna be a fun ride.

May the Lord favor and protect President Trump and his family.

Let’s also keep in mind that the statute of limitations for financial crimes in New York is five years. So the NY DA is apparently looking for crimes that Trump allegedly committed after Memorial Day weekend in 2016. Good luck with that. LOL.

yep, this is all BS

Anyone who knows anything about real estate knows that the true value of a property is almost always much higher than the value on the tax roles.

So, when you are talking to a bank you tell them the real value usually based on a professional appraisers opinion. But when dealing with the government, you use the governments own numbers, since that’s what they say it’s worth.

There is nothing criminal about this. If this were a crime every single home owner that is paying taxes on their home is committing the same crime by not paying taxes on the real value of their home instead of what the city values it at.

The big surprise will be when the United States military declares Donald Trump IS the legitimate President, uses armed soldiers to protect him from unlawful arrest and organizes military tribunals against the New York traitors trying to prosecute a sitting president as political retribution.

This could include charges of divulging grand jury matters required by law to be kept secret.

This might be the greatest sting operation ever conducted.

Military tribunals will not rely upon Trump-hating civilian juries trying to exert political vengeance.
