Accused Of Fraud, Trump Will Take The Witness Stand
Redstate ^ | 2/23/16 | Jay Caruso

Posted on 02/23/2016 6:50:59 PM PST by TBBT

So Donald Trump while trying to get the GOP nomination will take the beautiful witness stand at in the very near future in his own fraud trial. Gotta love it. Let's say he actually gets the nomination and the other Democrat, Hillary Clinton, gets hers. We'd have one candidate running while on trial for fraud and another under FBI investigation.

What a country.

Here are some details:

In court filings last Friday, lawyers for both sides in a long-running civil lawsuit over the now defunct Trump University named Trump on their witness lists. That makes it all but certain that the reality-show star and international businessman will be forced to be grilled under oath over allegations in the lawsuit that he engaged in deceptive trade practices and scammed thousands of students who enrolled in his "university" courses in response to promises he would make them rich in the real estate market.

Although the case has been winding its way through the courts for the past five years -- and Trump has denied all wrongdoing -- the final pretrial conference is now slated for May 6, according to the latest pleadings in the case. No trial date has been set, but the judge has indicated his interest in moving the case forward, the pleadings show.

This part really stood out:

Do you have any links to prove that Cruz is tied to the Trump University case? If not, you need to apologize. You’re acting like a liberal.

I haven’t heard of any decision in the Illinois case. If you have a point to make, make it.

For the Trump supporters, Cruz serves the same purpose as George W. Bush did for Obama. It was all Bush’s fault and with the Trumpites, it’s all Cruz’s fault.

Is there ANOTHER fraud lawsuit against Trump besides the Trump University case?

And in THREE, TWO, ONE, the Trumpites will be blaming Cruz.

“Why does it appear this is not really a good-faith complaint but a well-timed controversy designed to take him down”

I guess you are talking about the six simultaneous frivolous filings against Cruz to take him down.

You think Cruz’s undecided NBC eligibility status is frivolous? Think again.

You think Trump university fraud is going away? Or his casino and strip club deals? Or any of the other crap? Think again.

Didn’t say that. Just said the timing is completely suspicious and looks to me like a bad-faith political effort.

What a country.

What a load.

If you guys would demonstrate the least bit of honesty and ability to comprehend things in full and in context, we might not consider you so dang pathetic.

I don’t think any Trump supporters think he’s a saint. And quite frankly, we’re not looking to elect one.

Most aren’t aware that he is a scammer and associated with criminals in his dealings.

How’s that case in Illinois that will throw ted out of the elections there for being non-Natural Born Citizen? :)

Much more frivolous than the RICO suit against Trump in CA.

‘Here is a vid where the scammer pitches his ‘university’

he sounds sooooooooooooo sincere.

This makes me want to vote for Trump all the more.

Not everybody can afford to go to Harvard. Glad Trump is providing affordable alternatives.

"Can't answer why he is being charged with fraud"....Maybe because it hasn't be litigated. You know, innocent till proven innocent.
Funny, I don't remember ever hearing a Trump cultists say that about Hillary.

Yeah context

for touch and go amnesty

national trumpcare

eminent domain

trump scams and the attendant lawsuits

funding planned parent

innumerable flip flops

Accusing someone of lying when they use your words in an ad.

Yeah context that’s the real issue. Pathetic indeed. This is more of a cult than a political campaign.

I was referring to the woman who said Trump threatened her.

Some of those “witnesses” claim it was worth their money. This is a fishing expedition by lawyers, the kind Levin calls “slip and fall”.

LOL! - You're obviously one of them that hears a single sentence and ignores the rest of the paragraph - or even worse, one who listens to those who hears the single sentence and ignore the rest.

Either that or you just don't care about the truth in reality land because you prefer the "truth" of in-my-head-fantasy-land.

You're willing to give the thing to another known America/Constitution/Freedom hater because you feel (that's different than actual thinking) that this person might be even worse than the known evil that is the other choice.

I guess you can sorta have a clear conscience if you win (by helping the other side wing and the People lose) because you never end up with proof that that what your feelings felt is wrong - can't prove someone would be worse w/o trying that person, but that's not what you folks are all about - you like to lose because then the anger overrides the disappointment. It doesn't matter who our side seats - even Cruz would end up disappointing so many because reality would set in and with opposition from both sides, he couldn't undo nearly as much as was done - so the circle goes back to the beginning where we might as well not show up - and we call that 'fighting to win"

Yep - I call that pathetic.
