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:

Ask Billy Jeff Clinton if it mattered he was deposed by an Attorney in a civil rights lawsuit when he committed perjury
What a hoot this thread is.
The Suit has been inn the works for a couple of years but somehow A) It’s Cruz’s fault and it’s okay because B) he is being sued for fraud in civil court.
And if you thought it was a "University" in fact, one that gives out credits etc., you missed Education 101.
Yes, what a country, and what an organization, when an accusation is evidence of guilt.
What about the Biblical injunction Moses wrote about that it takes two witnesses? Now, we call it “he said, she said”.
“Can’t answer why he is being charged with fraud.”
It’s a civil case, he’s not being charged with anything. But you already know that...
Welp, I guess Dave Ramsey is up next with his Financial Peace University.
“Trump is running to make his children rich beyond belief.”
And you have what kind of evidence for this assertion?
I mean, other than pulling it out of your ass.
Yawn
Will he guarantee to put the assets of his company in a blind trust?

“The attorney general has been angry because he felt that Mr. Trump and his various companies should have done much more for him in terms of fundraising,” Cohen said. “This entire investigation is politically motivated and it is a tremendous waste of taxpayers’ money.”
He has to! According to Trump Cruz is even putting lies in to Trump’s own mouth! ;)
3 Lawsuits in at least two States.
Yeah yawn alright. Wait till you all are soiling yourself over the leaked testimony that makes Donnie look like the charlatan he is.
Anything he says only will make him look petty and guilty to the juries.
“Do you understand the difference between civil and criminal?”
All I know is that Trump seems to be an uncivil criminal oligarch.
I can’t believe Trump didn’t make this go away sooner.
“Will he guarantee to put the assets of his company in a blind trust?”
Trump has admitted to using gubmint to enrich himself, so no reason to believe that he is not (planning on) using the presidency for his financial gain.
The good news is that Trump will be in prison long before he has the presidency. The bad news is that Hillary will be in the white house. Yikes.
He tried in the case in California but the judge smacked him pretty hard. Dismissed his motions. Gave the suit RICO status and forced the Mouth to be deposed last December.
It will be hard to prove it. When little Donny get’s a sweetheart deal on a sought after piece of land, Trump will be questioned and start slandering.
I think any Republican will win this year.
Yep.
