All this media talk about Donald Trump as the second coming is just talk…
He’s in deep legal shit right now….
The ex-President’s money people are singing in the Manhattan DA’s (AND New York State AG’s) criminal investigation’s about his finances….
The New York State Attorney General Office already took down Trump’s foundation…
Looks like his money making organizaion and possibly him is could be next?
Trump and his company could be in for BIG TIME State and Federal owed back taxes at the least?
Oh?
Did I forget to mention TWO DA’s in Georgia are also looking at Trump’s action in the last election in their state?
According to multiple news reports, the Trump Organization’s longtime controller, Jeffrey McConney, was recently called to testify before the grand jury in the criminal investigation conducted by Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance. This is a significant step, and it portends real and growing criminal risk to Donald J. Trump. Look for the walls to continue to close in the days and weeks ahead, including as other witnesses appear before the sitting grand jury.
McConney’s grand jury appearance makes clear that Trump’s bookkeeping practices — and his interactions with tax authorities, lenders and insurers — now face even more intense scrutiny. According to last year’s reporting, Trump may have avoided income taxes for years. Public reports indicate that prosecutors are investigating whether the Trump Organization artificially increased the value of Trump properties to obtain favorable financing and artificially decreased the value of those same properties to obtain favorable tax treatment. Any personal knowledge of these reported schemes could open Trump up to personal criminal liability….

We can expect a steady flow of further developments like the McConney news to continue to surface in the days and weeks ahead. The most important of those will come if someone even more significant in Trump’s inner orbit “flips” and cooperates with prosecutors. The controller’s reported appearance before the grand jury is only the latest indication that the district attorney and New York attorney general (now working with the DA on the criminal investigation) are wielding one of the most potent hammers in the prosecutorial tool kit: applying pressure to Weisselberg and his family to importune him to testify against Trump. It is a tough tactic but, over decades of law practice inside and outside of government, we have repeatedly seen that it gets results. And this could be a rare one-two punch from separate prosecuting offices that could be even more uncomfortable for someone on the receiving end….

Investigations from the Department of Justice are more politically fraught; any step towards accountability on a federal level may seem retributive. For that reason, even though the DOJ must also follow the evidence and the law where it leads, state investigations may be the best initial path to hold Trump accountable. We should bear in mind that the Fulton County district attorney in Georgia is also investigating Trump, in that case for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. But the Georgia and any federal investigation are on a slower track; the New York case seems most likely to move first.
