The prosecutor’s strategy seems to be stripped donald of his money and then go after him.
donald without his money is just another petty old criminal!!!

The trump criminal organization is finished.
No one will lend or even want to work with them after this. It’s the poorhouse for the trump brood.
ROFL.

Lots of ongoing investigations into Trump and his company, but that's to be expected. We already know he's a scammer from his fake university and know he's a loser by raising money for charity and using it on his business expenses.
Born loser.

Time to refresh your memory then. In 2016, prosecutors from New York had Trump's fraudulent "Trump University" shut down, and he was forced to pay $25 million dollars in restitution. In 2018, Trump's so-called "Charity" was also closed down, and he had to pay various organizations 2 million dollars--and those are just two examples.
More will follow . . .

The Trump Crime Cabal being taken down in pieces just like any other organized crime family....
The middle and little people will turn on the crime Dons to save their own skin, just like they did with Gotti and Gambino....
Looking forward to seeing Don, Don Jr, Eric, and Jared being led away in cuffs....Ivanka crying...and Melania smiling...
But hey, there's always hope - maybe Sidney Powell can conjure up The Kraken again...even though her legal defense is "no rationale adult should believe anything I say"...

LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!

I always though Melania would be the first one to jump when the ship started sinking.
Apparently it's Ivanka, who doesn't want anything to do with daddy dearest.
Melania will follow soon, the trump criminal enterprise is hemorrhaging money and it might be smart to grab whatever you can and scoot!!!

Well, you know Trump will rant about this at his next pity party rally....also known as "LLL" - Losers, Liars, and Loonies...
Maybe we can hope he'll be mic'ed up just like with the Access Hollywood tape, so we can hear him talk about his supporters out there waiting for him...
*Wolff says Trump was confused by “who these people were with their low-rent ‘trailer camp’ bearing and their ‘get-ups’, once joking that he should have invested in a chain of tattoo parlors and shaking his head about *‘the great unwashed’.”

All you Trump supporters here every day defending your icon? He thinks you're "low rent" and "the great unwashed"....
I'm guessing the cult is so strong you're not offended by that...

No he didn’t, he’s still in a bad shape, not a surprise he doesn’t reveal his taxes. He probably is in a worse shape than the 1980s.
If you only understood the Mueller report!!! He’s not the president now so has no protections.
Try googling leveraged, might help you understand better.

Investigating the full spectrum of illegal and criminal activities of the Trump family will probably take years, if not decades. There's so much fraud to look into. It's a bigger human enterprise than putting a man on Mars at this point.

Maybe not so smart. You never know who might turn up wanting it back.

Chick-fil-A, Home Depot, My Pillow. Any others?

ROFL, 30 years ago donald was a petty criminal, a businessman who lost more money than he made. However his presidency has ensured that investigators will look closely and there is enough there to bring this criminal enterprise down.
It is true and watch out, and not sure why you bring Disney into the discussion. Even the mob won't lend to donald.
Heavily leveraged properties, not worth much for him. Good that he has investments , will be useful in bankruptcy courts.
Though it's a good time to buy a trump branded apartments now. They're going dirt cheap!!!!

Among others and private donations as well. Worked for Bernie and that might be better.
So charge him and arrest and indict him. Oh, wait, they were trying for 30 years, Nadler keeps getting more and more disappointed, kind of hard to arrest someone when there is no crime and if the corrupt FBI can’t find any, Weissman won’t either, no matter how hard he tries to make stuff up or go after Trump.

Hmmmmmmm. This is such biased reporting. This will end up like so many other slam dunks for Orange going to jail. Nothing burger

What crime organization, the lawyers from the 2nd District of NY couldn’t even prove it, they had 30 years to prove it and couldn’t, but we know, just give them a little more time, eh?
That’s not true, there are a lot of companies that do, but I will submit to you that liberal companies like Disney might not
No, with all his investments, properties, he’ll be just fine.

That headline kind of implies something important is happening.
Individual employee perks? Bwahahaha
like how they list things not even involved as “but not on....at this time” as a way to get allegations they have zero proof of into the article.
bass4funk
Again, it would seem another failed lawsuit attempt that just won’t go anywhere. Weissman, you failed again, keep trying.
Blacklabel
Oh darn. The haters must be so upset. Again. But it was “this week”! Ah well maybe “next” (week/month/year).
