"Trump is at serious risk of eventual criminal indictment in New York State."

Brookings legal experts have released a new report about Trump's liability in the Manhattan DA case:

"In this report, we conclude based on the publicly available information that Trump is at serious risk of eventual criminal indictment in New York State."

 

While we do not know whether charges
will be brought against Trump, the
Trump Organization, or any of its
employees, the available facts and law
that we present in this report suggest
that the business practices of the Trump
Organization and the former president
could well lead to an indictment.


According to these reports, while
the Trump Organization’s reporting
to tax authorities told one story, the
organization’s reporting to loan officers
and insurance representatives told
quite a different one. For at least the
past decade, the Trump Organization
appears to have maintained two sets of
inconsistent numbers for its properties.
One set, which was provided to lenders,
allegedly reflected inflated profitability
metrics. The other set, which was
provided to tax authorities, allegedly
reflected deflated metrics.


The available evidence suggests
tight overlap between Trump as an
individual and Trump as a business
with respect to many of the matters we
discuss. Trump is famous for his close
control of the companies he owns.
He seems likely to have had personal
knowledge of many of the facts relevant
to the criminal investigators, and this
can give rise to the specific criminal
intent required for prosecutors to
prove a criminal case.


Depending on the evidence prosecutors
have uncovered, and whether
Weisselberg’s cooperation (if any)
produces probative evidence, the
DANY may be able to paint Trump as
the leader of a criminal enterprise.
They could, for example, argue that
the purpose of such an enterprise was
to enrich and defend Trump, with the
subordinates in the enterprise receiving
income and fringe benefits, such as the
payments and perks Trump reportedly
paid to the Weisselberg family

5. If it detracts him from his treaonsous activities...it will have served a useful purpose.

This is the real reason the left is going after Trump= to smear him in order to derail any attempt at the 2024 election...

It takes DU-Moron kpete to be that stupid.

  DUpipo need to move on from their Trump Hatred and focus on bogeymanizing longer term threats like DeSantis, Abbott, and Noem.
