Like millions of Americans before me, I’ve done exactly what Donald Trump did; namely, sought a loan based upon my best estimate of what my property was worth—and I didn’t look to what the tax assessor said in reaching that value. However, as part of the Democrats’ lawfare, Letitia James twisted a perfectly ordinary act into something evil, and a partisan judge put his imprimatur on her efforts. If it’s allowed to stand, the results will be devastating, not just for the political class but also for normal Americans.
In December 2020, I had to put my home on the market and move 1,000 miles away. Two months before, I’d considered refinancing my mortgage, and the bank gave me a valuation of $285,000. I thought it probably should have been higher, but didn’t really feel like taking the time to investigate because I wasn’t really that worried about it.
That changed in December when I was forced to worry about it. So, I reached out to a realtor friend (an actual realtor, not a guy with a side gig) and asked him to give me an estimate. He thought the house would probably sell for about $305,000, maybe $315,000 tops. Again, I was skeptical, so I started doing my own research. I looked at my community, what was available in my county, and what comparable houses were selling for. I also took note of the neighborhoods, roadways, schools, etc. After all of that, I estimated my house was worth about $400,000. I thought it could sell for $415,000 or even a bit more.
We put it on the market at $405,000 and, ten days later, it was sold with the buyers offering $395,000. We eventually settled for $400,000. I was confident it could have sold for more...

So you are saying Trump and the banks conspired to deceive who...each other? The bank just blindly said whatever Trump says we loan? How much in fines do the banks have to pay now for conspiring?
Was there a conspiracy?
The judge did not rule that way did he.
That does seem to now be the law per the Trump hating judge, the attorney general and the governor.
Amen Paul - - AND a place people will be afraid - justifiable - to borrow money from a bank.
The bimbo who does Meet the Press claimed today none of the cases against Trump are political. I almost fell out of my chair - what an idiot.
Nothing will change until the Republicans get good at lawfare. Then the Dems will call a truce.
The conspiracy was that Dem prosecutors, judges, and FBI would charge Trump with anything to interfere in 2024 elections.
They singled Trump out. This sets precedent. Business will leave NYC! Too risky.
There has always been an ebb and flow of businesses coming and going. I’m waiting to see how many up and go citing this ruling as their reason. I would have been long gone due to the fixed costs.
I’m asking if you believe there was?
Sure but now we are in escape from New York territory!
Sure to an ebb and flow to business but hard no to conspiracy between Trump and banks. Trump did nothing different than anyone else in NY commercial real estate. He was singled out to stop him from being potus. That is a crime. Now a precedent has been set and no one is safe. All part of the fundamental transformation of America.
Sure there was a conspiracy with the bank?
No, of course not. In your face Conspiracy to get Trump.
I hear Snake Plissken is standing by.

Maybe you didn’t notice that some of the testimony favored Trump. But if you believe that Engoron is right, maybe you want to ignore that.
