NEW YORK -- Within days, Donald Trump could potentially have his sprawling real estate business empire ordered “dissolved” for repeated misrepresentations on financial statements to lenders, adding him to a short list of scam marketers, con artists and others who have been hit with the ultimate punishment for violating New York’s powerful anti-fraud law.

An Associated Press analysis of nearly 70 years of civil cases under the law showed that such a penalty has only been imposed a dozen previous times, and Trump’s case stands apart in a significant way: It’s the only big business found that was threatened with a shutdown without a showing of obvious victims and major losses.

A “Republican” board member, Catherine McCrory (a lawyer), before voting, had to opine that SHE believed Trump engaged in an insurrection.

They’re qualified to hold the office.

So if Trump is victorious does that mean they were a masquerading?

Why do so many “constitutional scholars” have trouble with this.

Engoron has already ruled Trump committed fraud and I don't think he will change his mind, so yes. If he reduced the damages to $1 that would be better but I don't expect that. If an appeal court rules for Trump that does not change what Engoron and James did.

The amount needs to be enough to get Trump’s attention. A dollar might suffice for me. Not him. He hit nail with 83 mil in part because of his court conduct.

Oh the other hand, I can easily see the response in #126 coming from a Democrat woman like Nancy Pelosi or Kamala Harris, so you have a point.

It's almost delivered with a woman-like shriek of hatred.
