(Bloomberg) -- A former land-use lawyer for Donald Trump’s company was ordered by a New York judge to hand over hundreds of documents to state officials investigating whether the president’s real-estate business falsely reported property values to get loans or tax benefits.

Then we would only have to go after the trump kids, and could leave the stinking pile of shit president trump to feed the worms. Trump's crimes/criminality are so extensive, we shouldn't have to waste resources any longer than necessary.

The man is a traitor and has sold our country to our enemies. That's treason. The constitution says there is a penalty of death for treason. I say let's do it.

Contact with the rest of the world would be worse than death for him so I would prefer that.

I'm not in favor of general capital punishment because there are too many innocent people who have been convicted...but I sincerely believe there are some people that need to be removed from the earth's population. Trump is one of those. And he is definitely not innocent.

major legs. As a former Appraiser,and Mortgage Loan Officer,yes,seen it and lived to tell about it. One particular Ambulance Chaser and so called legal Property Rights farce,comes to mind. When the numbers do not fit the Data,you must refuse to move a loan App up the line. Unless you want to pay a heavy fine for fraud,your Reputation is worth a hell of a lot more.

It may not happen today,trust me,the State and Feds will catch up and take serious actions . Try this,my Mortgage Broker whom held my License was busted for playing games with this Farce of a lawyer,24k fine in Utah plus loss of License for lifetime. 40k plus fine in California plus loss of License for life.
