With four siblings , that makes it about $70 M each Except that if you had been following the news you would know that Fred Trump transferred most of his fortune through highly dubious means to his children before he died. So technically it's not an inheritance, but I didn't want to go into a long explanation. Trump Engaged in Suspect Tax Schemes as He Reaped Riches From His Father https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/10/02/us/politics/donald-trump-tax-schemes-fred-trump.html And this doesn't include the bailout his father provided when Trump's casino venture went belly up. And there were only 3 children who inherited. One predeceased the father. Trump got bailed out by The Apprentice which sold the world on his ability as a dealmaker. In fact, his business history is marked by overpaying for assets and then going bankrupt. By the time the 21st century rolled around, he was toxic to NY bankers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habanero Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 4 hours ago, placeholder said: This is false. Documents have to undergo a specific procedure to certify that they are declassified. Second a document is not declassified just because the president—or the head of the Public Interest Declassification Board—says it is. It has to go through a formal process, in which the security stamps, tags, or labels are removed. It seems at least some of the documents at Mar-a-Lago did not go through this process; according to the Journal, the FBI removed 11 sets of classified documents, four sets labeled “Top Secret,” one marked “Various classified/TS/SCI documents.” https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/08/what-is-in-trump-mar-a-lago-documents.html Even if the documents were declassified it would still be a crime to remove them if any of the criteria of this law were met: Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. (b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term “office” does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2071 Or you can do like Hillary did.

You can always tell when someone's got nothing because they resort to predicting the future. And more MAGA nonsense about election fraud. Not even Republican govts could come up with any proof.

She unlike a President does not have the power to declassify the status of files. As the files were subject to ongoing discussions and negotiations- it appears the sudden action by DOJFBI might have pre emted a calmer resolution to the issue. If so this is not about vindication but vindictiveness 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
