Ex-prosecutor: Manhattan DA should have charged Trump for several crimes
Arutz Sheva ^ | 8/2/23

Former federal prosecutor Mark Pomerantz has written a new book in which he presents the case that the Manhattan District Attorney should have charged former President Donald Trump with several crimes relating to his financial dealings.

Pomerantz, who assisted the Manhattan District Attorney's office in its investigation into Trump's finances from December 2020 until he left the case in February 2022, had been in private practice for a long time before taking the position.

He was originally hired by DA Cyrus Vance but left the job after new DA Alvin Bragg decided not to continue with charges against Trump. He called Bragg's decision a "grave failure of justice," according to NPR.

In an interview with NPR about his new book, People vs. Donald Trump, the former prosecutor remarked on his involvement in investigating the financial statements of Trump and of many Trump business associates.

"It had to be done. I thought it was important. I thought it was essential, no matter who did the work in the first instance, that I had to understand the details," he said. "And as I got into it, I just kept being drawn further into it. I spent hours and hours and hours studying the financial statements, the accounting records and backup for the valuations that were reflected on the financial statements. And every time I spent an hour looking at that, more things would emerge."

He gave the example of Trump's penthouse on top of Trump Tower in Manhattan.

The GOP needs to have some local and state prosecutors going after Biden and his family and all his close friends. Just like they did Trump.

They make up all these crimes against Trump while letting true criminals go free.

Pomerantz should be brought in for questioning.

On National TV.

So the folks at home can see how worthless this flyspeck is.

Great post. Bravo.

This is the third time I have felt like saying “I have found a long lost brother in you.”
Wonder what’s going on.

If one has unlimited funding and a personal desire to get someone on some charge, well, then those charges will be found.

THey had nothing on Trump that would have withstood a vigorous examination of the evidence and witnesses. It was all a witch hunt.

These traitorous baftards could not contemplate having a Republican populist president re arrange their little liberal fascist world. They are still caterwauling about it.

Who cares? No One.

TRump is going to be re-elected , and thats what all this is about.ORANGE MAN BAD !

BUahgagagagagagagagagggaghhha!

Bottom line is, Deutsch Bank lent Trump money, partially in reliance on his stated valuation of his property, partially on their independent appraisers. He paid back all the money. No harm, no foul. For a DA in a high-crime city, he sure does have a lot of time on his hands.

Oh, yeah. The penthouse apartment “only had” 11,000 sq ft of space. Right. Counting Barron’s entire floor that he had below that, and the roof? This is a penthouse we’re talking about. With a dedicated elevator and the rooftop amenities that penthouses come with.

The Book’s title is a flat out lie.
People v Trump?

Nope. This is all about Swamp v Trump. Same game since 2015.

“Hired by Cyrus Vance” is all you need to know.
