    Get ready for the unintended effects of the democrat's LAWFARE. Looks like we got out first "victim". I look forward to more carnage as the republicans snoop down to the low levels of the left. I've been waiting for them to stop being so virtuous and be on the same dirty level. Looks like its starting to happen and I LOVE IT!!!! It brings me such joy.

    You were there? Hiding in the shadows and taking surveillance footage? Please share the footage! I would love to see it.

    There is nothing wrong - let alone illegal - with a person selling a property for whatever someone is willing to pay for it, regardless of how much the price paid does or does not exceed the property tax value. It's what countless people do, day in day out.

    Trump, on the other hand, was not offering a property for sale, or accepting an offer of what someone wanted to pay.

    He was offering multiple properties in support of loans, insurance policies, favorable tax benefits, etc., for which purpose he intentionally, systematically and persistently engaged in fraudulent valuation practices, inflating or reducing values of the very same properties - as needed - for maximum gain through deliberate misrepresentation.

    Trump has been totally dependent on Russian banks, or banks that launder Russian money for over 20 years. Are those the banks you’re talking about? Because there arent any others.

    Still believing in the Russian hoax, are we? Good! Keep on concentrating on that. You will get nowhere. You spent all of Trump's term on it and got nowhere, except with those who live in the Democrat echo chamber.

    Not to be concerned…

    A totally unreliable and regularly dishonest right wing trash blog trying to puff itself up by hyping imaginary “pressure” being brought by the noise machine, a crank GOP Congressman, a right wing talk radio host, and Trump’s hapless attorney aren’t “pressure” anyone has to be concerned about.

    There is nothing wrong - let alone illegal - with a person getting a loan on a property for whatever someone setting a value on his own property... bank are in the business and are not stupid...banks do their homework, unlike those uniformed folks of the process..

    $18 million for Mar-a lago.... get real..

    A perfect analysis is by Fox News Legal Editor Kerri Kupec Urbahn
    “The real estate and how this works, but think about it for a second,” she continued. “If I went online right now and I wanted to buy a pair of glittery, ruby red slippers on Amazon, I could get them for maybe 30 or 40 dollars. But if I wanted to get the ones owned by Dorothy in ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ they’re, I believe, currently valued at about four or five million dollars. That is to me a perfect picture of how subjective valuation is of assets. How much is someone willing to pay for something, and it typically depends on who or what that thing belonged to.”

    Attacking the source = DENIAL (very sad!)
    here it is from a more neutral news source
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/lifestyle/jon-stewart-found-overvalued-nyc-162326036.html

    The problem with your complaint is the news you probably read will SHELTER YOU FROM THIS. The first page of search results for "john stewart & leticia james" brings up ALL right wing sites except for that yahoo link and a MSN.com link

    STOP complaining about sources. It holds no value when you know it can be found in 100 other places.

    This is what happens when people try and combat FACTS with their FEELINGS.

    FACTS and evidence are what are used in "court rooms".... FEELINGS are what are used in a "court of public opinion"... non of the messy lawyer stuff with cross examinations...

    No it doesn't. The "whole case" is a huge case covering far more than Mar-a-lago. And, so far as the latter is concerned, the figure of $18 to $27 million was NOT mentioned as the 'correct' value. It was cited to illustrate the new REDUCED property tax values that Trump had achieved by donating a conservation easement. It was also pointed out that Trump's value of Mar-a-Lago was 2,300% more than the new tax values - NOT as a statement that Trump's value should be the same as the tax value, but as a statement of the UNUSUAL extent to which Trump's value exceeded tax values. What was at issue - as detailed in full - were the fraudulent practices employed to inflate or deflate values, not just of Mar-a-Lago but multiple properties, to gain benefits that otherwise would not be available.

    Like I said. It's all a made up hoax, cooked up by a 100% partisan DA who doesn't have the time to prosecute real criminals, especially the violent ones.

    Trump’s dependence on Russian financing was never a secret. Everyone in New York knew it. It was in the business pages for twenty years before 2016.

    I. Realize that Trump nation still clings to the idea that their savior is some sort of real estate oligarch, but his long history of bankruptcies, litigation and default long ago proved otherwise. After Atlantic City, and after his father’s death he couldn’t gat a loan anywhere in the US.

    That’s underlined by the stampede to bond Trump’s fines.

    Russian gangsters from Brighton Beach laundered money by buying and selling in Trump Tower from the very first. They also laundered money through Trump’s failing casinos.

    None of this is secret. All of it is easy to document.

    That was long before Trump, or the Russian’s involvement in the Trump presidential campaign.

    Actually I own several. You fail to understand that the person misrepresenting this is Stewart, James and any liberal trying to explain the Trump "fraud".

    Yes but the TAXES he paid on it were for much less than he sold it for.

    That's called proof of intent for fraud per James and Stewart.

    You're welcome to post proof that Stewart went back and demanded to pay property taxes equivalent to the actual valuation of his property and equivalent to what he sold it for.
