When you say nowhere, what do you mean? There won't be an indictment? There will be a settlement but it won't go to court? Or it will got to court and the org will be found not guilty?

I mean that I think there will be no ramifications or punishments towards Trump or his family.

Got it. Do you think it is a big deal that Mazars is saying you cannot trust any of their financial statements for the Trump Org for the past decade?

That would be a safe bet so far. The closest we have seen is Cohen going to jail for paying off Stormy Daniels for Trump. That really pissed of Cohen. Trump pardoned everyone including Bannon for stealing “Build The Wall” funds but, left his ling time fixer in jail for Trumps crime. Trump sleeps with a porn star, tries to cover it up and Cohen goes to jail for it. Doesn’t seem very fair.

Of course you can’t trust any of their financial statements. Past decade only? Trump has been a lying cheat all his life.

To go even further, Stormy has to pay Trumps' attorney costs in the suit now.

I wouldn't try to stick up for Cohen, he seems like the worst kind of lawyer that gives all lawyers bad reputations and about as believable as Avenatti.

I mean accounting firms don't publicly say "don't trust anything we signed our name to and certified as accurate for the past decade" too often. Even if we know rich people often lie on their taxes, this is way beyond that.

And that’s exactly why Trump hired him in the first place. He was useful for Trump until he wasn’t. Trump and Cohen were being chased by zombies and Trump stabbed him in the leg so the zombies would get Cohen and Trump could escape. That doesn’t make Cohen a good guy. It just makes Trump an even worse guy.

Lol. I do find the analogy entertaining here. You have a way with words. Probably makes you a good song writer.

I just stole that scenario from The Walking Dead. It was in an episode. Two guys were trying to escape the zombies and were failing so the one guy maimed the other guy so he couldn’t run in order for him to get away.

A week of legal setbacks for Trump in Washington, New York
https://apnews.com/article/ivanka-trump ... a2e1b87450
NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump faced one legal setback after another this week as a judge ruled he must sit for a deposition in New York to answer questions about his business practices, his accounting firm declared his financial statements unreliable, another judge rejected his efforts to dismiss conspiracy lawsuits and the National Archives confirmed that he took classified information to Florida as he left White House.

Whatever happens, said Jeffrey Jacobovitz, a Washington lawyer who has been following the investigations, “I think the weeks will get worse for him.”

Looks like Trump's plane had some engine trouble. Glad he's okay despite my personal opinion of the man.

That sounds like an idiot who is also trying to appease his insane base(for a future political career) & save face with his social circle after he resigned, knowing there was nothing there in another ridiculous witch hunt.
