Trump's bankers questioned by prosecutors in "significantly escalating" criminal probe

Looking forward to F.B.I. raids, seized assets and handcuffs for tRump and family on 1/20/21 (unless they sneak out of the country before then).

Snip:
"The Manhattan district attorney's office has interviewed employees of President Donald Trump's bank and insurance broker in a signal that the criminal investigation into the president's business practices has "intensified" just before he leaves office, according to The New York Times."

Snip:
"The bankers determined he was overvaluing some of his real estate assets by as much as 70 percent," two former executives said, but decided to approve loans to his company, including one that he used to pay off a loan to another division of the bank.

Do not allow him to slime out of ANY of his criminal activities, hold him accountable for once. All the horrific things done by Al Capone, they finally put the bars around him for tax evasion. Let's make the case and put him where he belongs!

He believes himself to be dapper in orange already.

Fines and asset seizure are possible, but not arrest/incarceration.

so I think you are incorrect.

But I understand why everyone's expectations are very low, after so many rich people have walked because their high-dollar attorneys subvert the justice system.

…..implicated and powerful for this to go far. Besides, Vance let Jarvanka go years ago. He's not really going to push this. That is, if he's the one in charge and I think he is.
