"He's done": George Conway predicts Trump will wind up "bankrupt" and a "criminal defendant"

'George Conway, the husband of former White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, took to Twitter on Tuesday morning to deliver a brutal prediction about President Donald Trump's future.

Reacting to The New York Times' explosive reporting about the contents of the president's taxes, Conway predicted that the full tax returns themselves will likely be leaked to other reporters, who will post them in their entirety for the public to see.

It's at that point, Conway believes, that accounting experts will take a deep dive into the president's finances and raise more questions about his sources of income — and that, in turn, will make him toxic for any financial institutions who were still thinking of lending him money.

"He'll end up personally bankrupt," Conway predicted. "He'll wind up a criminal defendant, fighting off charges of tax and financial fraud, and he might not be even able to foot his lawyers' bills, if any decent lawyers will still work for him."

The bottom line, writes Conway, is that "he's done . . . not just politically, but financially and legally."'

...the edge of the cliff had been reached. Of course, we have he benefit of hindsight to look past the obfuscation and the facade of wealth. Apparent wealth.

If he has accountants as sleazy as Cohen was a lawyer, I'm sure it was very hard to penetrate.

Trump went to Deutsche Bank because other creditors wouldn't touch him.

And lots of GOP and possibly some dems took the money, too.

I know...I know..we aren't supposed be so thrilled about someone else's misfortune.

But the thought of that orange maggot in an orange jumpsuit with no access to bronzer and hair gel is beyond thrilling.

What he will tell them in the months between Nov4 -Jan 20 and onwards. Taking with him top INTEL and trading it for $. IT WILL happen. America means NOTHING to him, he'd trade (and probably has) intel for $.

First of all, who can trust what he says. He is a world class liar. Secondly, what are the chances anyone is sharing top INTEL with him knowing what a loose cannon he is. Even if they did, he probably wouldn't read it or remember it. He's completely unreliable as an asset. He would say anything to save his own pathetic fat ass and everyone knows it.

He's totally fucked himself and I think he's going to finally get what is coming to him.

I love reading about something coming up that will be catastrophic for trump. I love reading about things that will destroy him before the election. But I have a very strong been there, done that feeling about them. Nothing touches him, nothing stops him. Not impeachment, not COVID, not his endless stupidity, rape and abuse, destruction of this country. I have very bad feelings about this election. I don't understand how intelligent, good people can lose to deplorable despicable violent hateful people. But hey, maybe it will work out...
