Among the allegations prosecutors are investigating are whether Trump inflated the value of his Seven Springs estate in Bedford, New York, for tax breaks

I stopped reading there. My understanding of the matter is that Trump has been accused of inflating the value of real estate to obtain loans and then underestimated the value of real estate to pay lower taxes. In both cases, this is nonsensical. If you go to a bank to obtain a loan and use real estate as collateral, the bank will send its own appraisers to value your real estate. A bank that does not do so is not doing do diligence. As for property taxes, the taxing authority regularly does assessments on property values to determine the value to be multiplied by a millage rate. I think everyone who has ever owned a home and has the least bit of curiosity about the property taxes that they pay, understand that when assessments are done you do not want the taxing authority to increase the value of your home. You also know it has nothing to do with value of your home when you go to sell it. The whole notion of property taxes is flawed because given supply and demand market forces that value of a real estate can only be determined at the exact moment of a sale. Any other time it is speculation, although surrounded by a lot of formality for the appearance of validity.

I should also note that NYS has statute of limitations that range from 2 to 5 years. PDJT turned over control of The Trump Organization to his children prior to becoming president, sometime in August 2016 I believe. Do the math, starting with today's date. That gives a very small window for James and Vance to go after PDJT. Even then it will have to be fabricated.

Because of the two noted reasons and details of other false allegations, I do not think charges will be brought. These are fabrications design for one purpose. That is to allow the media to write more negative stories and try to convince people to turn on PDJT. Fortunately, those people have commonsense and it will not work. This will go in the dustbin with all the other rumors and lies about PDJT.

Trump has some of the best accountants on the planet doing his taxes for him and his family.

Nevertheless, the IRS code is a gift to prosecutors. That does not mean however that IRS personnel will confirm bogus charges coming from James and Vance.

Everything you say is 100% accurate and whomever penned this piece is a flaming uneducated moron who did absolutely NO research.

I agree the SOL are seemingly insurmountable for the state. And/But, I don’t think it’s impossible they would indict him even if the statute of limitations had already expired. As I understand it, nothing forecloses them from obtaining such an indictment (other than ethical considerations). With the partisan hacks that are running the show in NY, they would likely see that as a victory. “Trump’s indicted and only beat the charge because of a technicality,’ they’d say.

What I’m not certain of is is NY can force another state to effect arrest for an indictment on a charge where the SOL has expired. I would be shocked if they could force extradition, but arrest might be a different story. IDK.

If they can, then getting pictures of Trump getting arrested would sure be worth it to them.
