New York Attorney General Probe of Trump Organization Now a Criminal Investigation
WSJ ^ | 05/19/2021

Posted on 05/19/2021 2:20:19 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

The investigation is no longer ‘purely civil in nature,’ state officials tell the former president’s firm...

“We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the organization is no longer purely civil in nature,” said Fabien Levy, a spokesman for the attorney general’s office. “We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA.”

The Manhattan district attorney’s office is conducting an investigation into possible bank fraud and other potential crimes. Separately, the top local prosecutor in the Atlanta area is probing whether Mr. Trump improperly tried to influence election officials last year.

The Trump Organization didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment...

Local Miami media is fangirling over this obvious political persecution....trying to couple it with the news about the Star Chamber Committee being attempted by Nancy Pelosi regarding the events of January 6.

More than likely the leftist New York AG timed the announcement of this nothing burger to coincide with the upcoming vote on the creation of that hit job committee.

I sense a third impeachment trial in the future. The Rats are getting rabid.

There’s only one way to make this stop, and it’s Step 1 on the roadmap to liberty that our nation’s founders provided us. We’ve allowed the nation to fall into so deep a hole, the only answer is 1776, redux. King George had nothing on the diabolical evil of the leftist tyrants currently terrorizing and dismantling the greatest nation ever to exist.

I would say secession is the best option.

Interesting thing about these Democrat Fascist style political hit investigations. Once they know thay can’t successfully prosecute the case, they abandon their “stealth mode” investigation and their public image of “ We can’t comment about ongoing investigations,” and “ we can’t confirm or deny that there is such and investigation,” CHANGING OVER TO news propaganda about the allegations, broadcast in the propaganda MSM arm of the DNC Fascist party.

IF THEY COULD SUCCESSFULLY PROSECUTE THEY WOULD HAVE THE INDICTMENT ISSUED. Since they cannot, they are ginning up the issue and getting a bunch of rabid , frothing at the mouth reporters to defame the victim, in this case, Donald Trump.And they are protected from the liability of malicious degfamation because its under the unbrella of a “legitimate investigation.” It is far from being that .

Secondly, even if they do prosecute, they are creating a situation where it would be almost impossible to obtaion a jury pool that was neutral in its stand on the facts in issue in the case.This favors Donald Trump HUGELY.

This is going no where.

President Trump is laughing at them.

KISS MY ASS, you fascist prostitutors!

What crime are they investigating or does her office just investigate political opponents looking for any crimes the way the Soviets did?

THE FACES OF STUPIDITY: New York Attorney General Letitia James, Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance. How else would you define utter stupidity, when the two of them continue to flaunt it?

MEMO TO STUPIDS (assuming they can read):
<><> Hugh Hefner could NOT get a NJ gaming license;
<><> Barron Hilton of Hilton hotel fame could NOT get a NJ gaming license.
<><> Bob Guccione of Penthouse mag fame could NOT get a NJ gaming license.

LET THAT SINK IN: could NOT get a gaming license....in NJ.

Trump got four NJ gaming licenses.

These stupid characters are looking in the same places, gamers who are much MUCH smarter than they are, looked, and the gamers didnt find a thing.

That’s what makes these people stupid......not being able to think above their own sordid political ambitions....thinking they can nail Trump for political gain.

The GOP is responsible for this, they had the chance to do great things and help this country and they sided with the rats because they are as guilty as they are. The present GOP needs to be gutted, new leadership and then go after and punish those on both sides. It probably will never happen

“Show me the man, and I will show you the crime.” - Lavrentiy Beria, chief of Soviet secret police (NKVD) under Stalin.

We now know the rules under which they operate in the “blue” states.

But really, the Attorney General of New York State should concentrate on getting the real obstacle of her ambitions out of the way, the Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo.

They’re still looking for the crime. They’ll make one up if they have to.

The one way to make it stop would have been to fight it. After 99% of the DC republicans showed on 1/7 that they were part of the coup Trump simply quit. Trump should have proclaimed that the Uniparty B was more responsible for destroying MAGA than the dem wing of the Uniparty and that he was forming a real second party. At that point he would have had an 80 million member patriot army. Trump stupidly bet his and our futures that the Uniparty B Team could be trusted. Now Trump has no cards left to play. We are just as screwed. MAGA is history. Trump is ruined. The constitution now is used as a Uniparty door mat at the Capital as fascism reigns in America. To roll it back now is going to take a bloody civil war. The chances of ever getting our freedom back lessen daily as the rank and file in the military is purged and indoctrinated into American Uniparty fascism.

I see the US economy completely falling apart along with the blowBULL financial system based on the dollar. The wheels are coming off..

With an economic depression comes opportunity and also risk..

Why are they afraid of Trump running again? All future elections are now fixed.
