It's going to take time, but when NY prosecutors get Trumps taxes they are going to find fraud.

A lot of it. Does anyone here doubt that? Trump has not been fighting this hard to keep his taxes secret for the hell of it. There is something in those taxes he doesn't want people to see.

is Trump will at least go into his 2nd term (god forbid) under a serious threat of criminal prosecution. They can drag out this process for months before any trial, easily until after the election, IMHO. What we really need is for the tax docs to "leak' before the election.
All in my non-lawyerly humble opinion.

As the NY case goes on, every time it comes up, it brings up the issue that Trump very likely broke the law. That means that Republicans already exhausted from defending Trump know that eventually this case will be brought against Trump's people including him.

What Trump knows is that he already was likely to lose the election ... and this does not help. As soon as he is a private citizen, he might face a criminal indictment.

Can you imagine the number inconsistencies And “things don’t add up?” moments that will be had?

Plus, I think things will show his net worth is atrocious and anything but the “billionaire” status he claims.

for starters. Paper trails of where money is transferred from(sanctioned banks anyone?). Lies about where money went.

But that's a federal court, isn't it? I thought the big deal was that Trump was counting on blanket immunity because even if he were pardoned that's only applies at a federal level and wouldn't matter to New York prosecutors, which I assumed were at a state level in this story.

What am I missing?
