Manhattan DA: We're Investigating Trump For More Than Michael Cohen

[kpete]

........

“Given that this much information about potentially widespread and protracted criminal conduct was in the public record (and without going into any additional, nonpublic sources), it is not plausible to speculate, let alone infer, that the grand jury investigation was limited to Cohen’s 2016 payments,” attorneys for Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance wrote in a Friday court filing.

The statement comes after Vance suggested on Aug. 3 that he was probing the Trump organization for fraud, citing multiple news reports purporting to document a pattern by which Trump would interfere with the book value of his assets in representations to lenders and insurers.

The Manhattan DA reiterated in the filing that the probe extends beyond the 2016 hush money scandal.

“Plaintiff has been put on notice repeatedly throughout this litigation that the investigation was not limited to Cohen’s 2016 payments,” prosecutors wrote.

1. Win or Lose. Lose preferred....

Trump is in for a world if hurt with the state of New York on his heels.

Waiting for their October surprise.

2. In short they turned over a rock and discovered a whole slew of more criminal activity, thus

resulting in yet more rocks being turned over, leading to yet, more criminal activity. The creep is guilty of literally everything, when will they charge him w/ criminal conduct and more? Time to get the cards on the table, and nail the creep.

4. Way past that even.

[Lock him up.]

6. They better hurry up.

Saving tens of thousands of lives to a preventable pandemic is worth cutting corners, even if it was to save just 1.

5. You just know,

there are 49 States watching this case,knowing full well they may have similiar actors playing the similiar game and as stressed as State and Local Budgets are,you just know they want their money owed despite Political Connections.

Jacked up Real Estate Valuations and remunerations to Persons of Authority are alive and well.

7. This is all well and good,

however in the meantime, HE is screwing the entire country over AGAIN. First with the pandemic, now with the destruction of the post office. Who will put a stop to this clown? He can do one hell of a lot more damage before the election, and he will.

[lagomorph777]

15. This is one piece of putting a stop to him. Legal jeopardy, and hurts him with voters.

I don't think a complaint about it makes any sense.

[Evolve Dammit]

8. They do need to act, and not float progress

[C Moon]

10. Now that he has built himself a small army to protect his interests, and the senate doesn't care...

what the hell is New York going to be able to do?

[triron]

17. New York is not bound by DOJ guidelines (which are fucked up nevertheless).

[Brainfodder]

11. Whatever he has accused others of at the podium, that?

Tada, so formulaic like bad mob movie?

Simple method of a simple man, if that is what you think of him, then no more credit need be given?

The true nasty has spoken quite plainly out in the open?

Take him at his words.

16. Tick tock, Donald. The clock is winding down on your ill fated Presidency.

Every minute that goes by brings you closer to the Justice you have managed to elude for all of your miserable life. So enjoy it while you can. Karma is lurking ahead and it is everything you feared it would be and then some. Don’t expect to get any sympathy either. You taught us how to respond to your pain and misery. All most of us will say is that it couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy.

19. Time Finally To Hold This Evil Creep Accountable

No Mercy. He is dirty up to his eyeballs. A tax cheat, a swindler, a con man. Terminally Stupid. Obviously a sex pervert and likely sexual criminal. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.
