New York AG James knows how to bankrupt a corrupt organization.

She is going to make it very difficult for the Trump organization to do business in America. She is going after Trump financially, the Manhattan prosecutor is going after Trump and his kids criminally.

Trumps accounting firm abandoned ship. They should have done that years ago, now they could be in trouble. They knew Trump was up to no good for many years. They just looked the other way. It's so obvious.

If the Manhattan Prosecutor has enough evidence to indict Trumps kids, I see no legal or political reason why they would not do so. If you indict the kids you are one step away from indicting Trump.

I hope the FBI is watching Trump and his family because they are going to be desperate for financing. They will probably go the middle east trying to make dirty deals.

... or maybe it was just a "favor for an old friend" wink, wink.

In any case, Vance could have nailed the Chump Organization years ago and nothing happened.

I'm glad that Letitia James is following through and getting the job done.

Mazars didn't just dump Trump, it flipped on him. The Lazars' accountant who testified before the grand jury knows just about as much about Trump's "finances" as does CFO Alan Weisselberg.

Why is everyone so concerned with Mazars? Its reputation is shot, I don't really care what happens to them.

Mazars is turning on Trump. What about all the banks that Trump has loans with. Can they recall the loans, redo the loans. This could get really ugly for Trump.

agents interested in buying the treasure trove of top secret, classified documents the Trumps stole and hid at Merde-a-Lardo. The National Archives only recently got those 15 boxes back, so the Trumps had a year in which to make photocopies of all the information contained therein. As lifelong, professional grifters, they would have been well aware that they could sell the docs to America's enemies.

All a FBI undercover agent has to do to get close to Trump is to pretend you have lots of money and tell Trump how wonderful he is. Praise him, tell him he is the best. Trump is a complete sucker, so easy to con.

His whole career has been built on a corrupt financial house of cards. His businesses have never made decent profits but he lies about it & relies on loan after loan to stay afloat.

If banks stop doing business with him (the few that still are) & he doesn't have OPM to rely on (Other People's Money) his fraudulent "empire" will come crashing down.

Worldcom and Enron had accountants.

If you pay accountants enough they can make your numbers do anything you want.

I always ask myself, when they solve your problem, do accountants and lawyers manufacture more business for themselves? Their take on your situation is proprietary, so you're snared in a professional trap. And they can always back out and say we can't handle this anymore. Food for thought.

Had I not heard that when Trump was elected (by the Electoral College but not by the vote), It is G-d's Will for Trump to win?

My take is that, yes, it was G-d's Will because if will take the power of the US government to bring these international criminals to justice.
