NEW: The @NewYorkStateAG investigation into the Trump Organization is “no longer purely civil.”

“We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA,” a spokesman told CNN.

1. Gonna be a popcorn shortage soon!!

[CatWoman]

3. LOL!!!!

Maeve

[triron]

22. Bring it.

[soldierant]

42. Y'all can have my share

I'm allergic to corn.

I've read it's possibt to pop millet,but I have never found the equipment or the technique to do so.

[Takket]

2. any time now, people.

[onecaliberal]

4. Oh please, oh please, oh please....

[CatWoman]

6. Rachel just got confirmation from the AG's office

[onecaliberal]

11. This is a big effing deal.

[bdamomma]

5. tic tock....

tic tock....coming closer. Let it happen.

[GoCubsGo]

36. Speaking of "tick tock"...

I can't help but think that they may be also looking his relationship with Matt Gaetz, given that Gaetz's buddy is singing. Whoever had that plane flying the "tick tock" banner might need to modify it in the not too distant future.

7. Whoo hoo!!!

Now we're talking!

[BigmanPigman]

8. Smile of the week!

Lawrence O'Donnell just said he had to revamp his show now to make it current after getting this news. Attorney Andrew Weissmann will be on later.

[Justice matters.]

9. At long overdue last!!

Hurry up pleeeeeezzzzzzz!!

Lock him up!

[Under The Radar]

10. Please stop teasing us... just get on with the prosecution

The number of times that the media got me hyped up over the Mueller investigation then just to have my hopes dashed is exhausting, and when I hear news that this criminal will finally meet justice, I only remain skeptical

[Vdizzle]

15. Exactly. The let downs are excruciating. Just arrest someone and then tell us your plans

For criminal charges.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

12. Lock him up!!!!!

[gldstwmn]

13. Someone's going to prison. Eric maybe?

[SergeStorms]

14. Violation of the Martin Act.

Real estate fraud. 😊 We should have known that was coming though.

[Justice matters.]

16. THE MARTIN ACT: NEW YORK STATE'S MOST NOTORIOUS BUSINESS LAW

>> https://eidclimate.org/the-martin-act-explained/

[SergeStorms]

17. It's quite a nebulous law I guess.

It gives the NY AG an end around the SEC. For that reason, some say it's unconstitutional. I see a huge court fight on the horizon if this is true. They'll break Trump with legal costs, but I guess he can always have more fund raisers.

[Justice matters.]

25. That Act also covers real estate matters, like condos and stuff.

It's not too far from RICO procedures.

[SergeStorms]

26. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see...

what they have on the Orange Blob. Proving intent to defraud can be a little sphincter tightening, but I have confidence in Letitia James, our NYS Attorney General. She doesn't draw, shoot, then aim. She must have DJT dead in her sights right now.

[Stuart G]

35. Letitia James is real, and she will get the crook...Much better than "Gunsmoke" and she will get him

As usual Trump doesn't have a clue..Sheriff James will end up costing Trump his fortune, his freedom and more.
I don't know what she knows, but she is a straight shooter, and tells the truth.. The "Truth" is an idea completely
foreign to DJT.

I am also worried about the coming popcorn shortage.....got a box?...





Yes, I have stored some boxes of popcorn, but I need more...Anybody got a few boxes of popcorn?

[SergeStorms]

39. Fresh out.

I have to watch the starches in my diet, so I'll be gnawing on carrot and celery sticks. Not nearly as much fun, or tasty either.

[Habitation]

43. Amazon has Orville kernels in an 8# jar!

It looks glorious in my cupboard

[monkeyman1]

18. wonder if fat ass will run now ?

[jcgoldie]

28. of course he will

The whole point of politics for him is to kick the legal football down the road.

[Hekate]

19. Really?

[Nevilledog]

21. Really

20. Oh, hallelujah!

I’m sure Trump and his spawn who run Trump Organization have committed more crimes than most of us could even imagine. If all they can nail them on is tax fraud, that helps. I’m sure money laundering for Russian mobsters might be too hard to prove, but it sure would be sweet to see.

[OhioChick]

23. Yes....

This is going to be good.

[Marie Marie]

24. About time.

[Person of Interest]

27. I have been reading that headline for the past 5 years...

with absolutely nothing to show for it.

Grass will grow between Herr Trump's cheeks and still not a single indictment will be brought.

[herding cats]

31. No, this is official and it's new.

This is confirmation of previous speculation of possibilities.

[North Shore Chicago]

44. My post has nothing to do with anything.

Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your "herding cats" gif.

[uponit7771]

45. +1,

[DemUnleashed]

29. Get the...

Please get the motherf*#ker already!!!

30. This makes me smile

32. Martin Act

~
The Martin Act further empowers New York Attorney General's to conduct investigations into fraudulent practices.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Act#Investigative_Powers

Andrew Weissmann told Lawrence this act is mostly about empowering the NYAG to prosecute securities fraud as Elliot Spitzer did but it also covers real estate.

[NoMoreRepugs]

33. I appreciate ANYTHING that might raise the angst level

of that shitstain and possibly cause his fat encrusted heart to STOP.

[SwannieK]

34. And we thought there would be no good entertainment this summer!

This is great! Can't wait until the entire mobbed up trumpthugian family turns on one another and swears that they have never heard of, nor met any of the other members of their family, and Melania will suddenly decide she needs to take a midnight trip back to Slovenia! Of course, trumPutin himself has a fleet of buses gassed up and idling at the curb in the ready to throw the entire lot under the tires. lol

[Kablooie]

37. The fact they announced it publically must mean it's big.

And they are confident they will win.

[ShazzieB]

38. I hope Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber (AKA Eric & Don Jr.) are sweating bullets right now.

Along with their dear old dad, of course.

The thought is absolutely delightful.

[burrowowl]

40. Oh please let it be!

Is it finally popcorn time!

[Jon King]

41. Gaetz, Rudy, and at least one Trump

Now that would be a sweet trifecta of criminal convictions.

[BSdetect]

46. Can't happen soon enough. Contain the rabid dog.

[DesertRat]

47. Tick tock

[robertpaulsen]

48. Wonder if this means Vance flipped Weisselberg.

If Weisselberg is spilling the beans, he might have divulged information relevant to Letitia James' inquiry that Vance then felt compelled to share.
