He was lying before and many of us thought that.

(21,283 posts)it's how mobsters operate.
If the criminal case is over then Trump has no excuse to not give his deposition in the civil case since it won't interfere with the criminal investigation.

(1,159 posts)Surely it would be too difficult to hide the size of a bribe that would be worth the risk, but extortion based on skeletons in the closet . . . thatll do it.

(38,414 posts)Something about lying to Congress, and other authorities. You think that NY City Atty was the only one Trump &
mop lied to?
...What about inciting a riot in Washington D.C.?..so on and so forth.
....That is what I think, and I am sticking to it. This top prosecutor might end up having some stories to tell.
....and guess what, someone might tell those stories on him..,
The guy in Psycho was named ... Norman Bates
And Bragg is Close to Bates. You never know...

(38,414 posts)...and Trump is a "crook" An arrogant spoiled crook who thinks he is "above the law."
We will see in the long run. Indicting a former President of the U.S. is not easy and it is harder to convict..
.... But time will tell.
NY Attorney General Letitia James may be the answer. We will find out. Secure indictments take time.
If you indict, then you want to be sure that guilt is found by a jury. Getting that proof of guilt is not easy, and that
takes time. I would guess if James is going to indict, that all the pieces of the indictment must beyond dispute, and
conviction is extremely likely. That is why I think she is taking so much time.
But, I could be wrong, and we will find out in a few months.

His crimes probably opened up an ugly pit of intertwined wheelers and dealers doing even worse stuff.
