bill barr weighs in -- talks about dragging trump's "children" into this suit

Bill Barr tells Fox that NYAG Letitia James "grossly overreaches when she tries to drag the children into this" because Eric, Don Jr., and Ivanka, are not "expected in the real world to due their own due diligence."

if they signed fraudulent documents representing wealth the company and they did not have to secure bank loans... they need to go to jail. They won't, but they may need to pay a big fine.

They are adults and officers and if they were aware and benefited from the illegal activities then they are guilty too.

We never did find out what was in David Pecker’s safe. Maybe Barr was mentioning the children because his own daughter was involved in this corrupt administration

The kids were directors of Trump Foundation when it got shut down.

Don Jr & Weisselberg were Trustees running Trump Org while Trump Sr was in the White House.
A bunch of the siblings were management or directors of Trump Org

The kids were involved in all kinds of Trump Org deals.

Eric plead the fifth more than 500 times related to this case

The dumbass lying crook of an AG should know some civil law basics:
when you sue, you sue everybody in legal sight and let the courts figure out who is responsible.

These people sure are grasping at straws to try to convince people that they're not fraudsters.

Well, there goes Sparkle Pony's chances at being the first female President. Also, she may have to start buying her clothes at Wal-Mart.

Melania will have to rethink staying with a penniless criminal, especially one as homely as he is.

When Gums and Jr. were flying all over the world doing their 'business deals' during the IQ45 Mis-administration, WE were providing Secret Service coverage for EVERY ONE OF THOSE TRIPS!
YES! - WE were paying to keep them 'safe' so that they could go about and scam the world for THEIR OWN ENRICHMENT!!!!
Do you think that ANY potential 'customer' would DARE say 'NO' to the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES? Look at the 'donations' that flooded in for "the biggest, largest, bestest ever" inauguration (yeah, there's criminal investigation going on for that, too). Look at the 'reservations' that foreign countries made at the "tRump Grand Hotel" in DC when they were in DC to seek favors or business deals.
And you expect us to believe that these charges are 'NOT FAIR?'

I'll tell you what's not fair: TRUMP is still out walking and talking in public instead of ALREADY being BEHIND BARS!!!!!!!

And Ms. James referred to them as children. Probably should have said adult children. Barr's still a rat bastard though.
