No more so than most other people in the same circumstances. Plus, the banks did their own due diligence and said they saw no issues, were paid back as agreed etc etc. There was no victim or crime here yet he is guilty and owes 100s of millions of dollars off the thoughts of one liberal judge and one liberal prosecutor?
Surely how they are coming after Trump and trying to take his money on shady cases would put up a few red flags? Right at election time? Only liberals are involved?
I mean that "rape" case, you or I could have been convicted on that with zero evidence. Who knows what he did, but do you want to live in a world like this where those in power can do whatever they want to you if they don't like you? I am pretty sure we can point out some countries like that in the world and they are not pretty, nor places the average person would want to visit much less live.
Not me. I don't inflate the value of my assets when I seek financing. Nor do I deflate the value of my assets when I'm doing my taxes.
Because that would be fraud.
Which is illegal.
If these banks were so eager to do business with him then why was the fraud necessary? Perhaps Trump commits fraud for fun?
The rape case, I think there were contemporary accounts so it wasn't just completely made up. That trial was about defamation though. And Trump did awesome. He immediately defamed her more immediately after the first trial.
These trials would have come much soon if Trump didn't fight the courts at every possible point.
But these are small potatoes. These are just civil cases.
The criminal cases are;
The hush money payment thing. Something about silencing a porn star. Seems kind of silly to try this as a felony. But see how his lawyer Cohen served a couple years for this it seems reasonable that he should too.
There's the rico trial in Goergia. I don't know the law their. The justice system will have to sort it out.
Ditto the fake voters in DC.
The classified documents case however, now that's my jam. I happen to know the law here very well. And what Trump did was completely indefensible. A prison sentence , under Trump's own rules mind you, would be 5 years. Maybe more.
He doesnt' have to have these trials occur during the election. He intentionally did that by slowing things down as much as possible.
