That makes the investors and those who provided credit dumb for not doing due diligence! 

You got that wrong, the dumb ones are Trump, his three eldest children and the Trump Organization who are being sued for this fraud.

 

The once chief financial officer Weisselberg already received a 5 year jail sentence for tax fraud and he's also now being sued in this civil case.

Seems like they were encouraged and egged on by agent provocateurs in the crowd like Ray Epps who were urging peaceful patriots to enter the capital building. 

Why were the Proud Boys already marching on the Capitol before Trump gave his speech?

 

Why were so many marchers equipped with bullhorns, body armor and weapons?

 

It's almost as if there were a plan to storm the Capitol.

Republicans on Wednesday dug up past instances of Democratic House impeachment managers and President Biden using the words “fight” or “fight like hell” — one of the key allegations against former President Donald Trump at his Senate trial.

Was that "fight" to overturn an election? Context is everything.

Together with riot police not being able to step in, thanks Nancy. Sadly there was a one sided witch hunt of an inquest to present one sided garbage and no defence to keep a sense of reality. Shame really, we will likely never know the role the alphabet agencies played.

Seems like your post is only opinion and not fact.

 

Fox even agrees with me.

 

Fox 's lawyers defence on Epps defamation by Tucker Carlson.......

 

'The network’s lawyers wrote that the statements Epps found defamatory were protected opinions, not assertions of fact'

 

Ray Epps defamation lawsuit dismissal sought by Fox News - The Washington Post (archive.md)

 

Previously, Fox lawyers on another case of defamation by Tucker Carlson, stated that a 'reasonable viewer of ordinary intelligence', watching the show would not conclude that the statements were fact.

 

This says a lot about anyone who believes anything from Tucker Carlson or Fox for that matter.

Let's just say that Jared was not involved in a scheme to craft US foreign policy to benefit America's enemies in return for 10's of millions of $'s to the detrement of Americans.

 

Jared is a fund manager. People that invested expect/hope to turn a profit. No similarities with the bidens denied and censored inexplicable foreign adventures.

Can you please share with us what scheme that might be. The evidence is overwhelming that it wasn't Burisma.

And what evidence is there that Joe Biden acted on behalf of the Chinese? Given how much harsher US policy towards the Chinese has been during his tenure, you'd think the Chinese govt would be in a strong position to blackmail him if they had anything on him.

 

We also know that Kushner, unlike Hunter Biden, was a very high level govt official whose special purview was the Mideast. . And while he was a govt official, the Qatar govt participated in a deal to bail out the Kushner family from a disastrous investment made by Jared Kushner. The deal made no business sense. It was clearly a sweetheart deal. And once Kushner left office, At MbS' orders, Saudi Arabia invested 2 billion dollars with Kushner despite the Saudi investment council being in opposition to entrusting 2 billion dollars to someone who had a record of failure. Not just that, it is also sleazy that the Saudis invested 1 billion with Steve Mnuchin, the former Secretary of the Treasury. But at least he has a record as a savvy and successful investor. Yet, MbS invested twice as much with Kushner.

Where is the detail? Who exactly did he 'inflate' his net worth to? What was the purpose of the inflation of net worth? Unless he was inflating his net worth to investors or to get credit, he can tell as many lies about it as he likes. Net worth (the difference between your assets and liabilities is not a reportable number ie you don't file a net worth statement every year, like a tax filing.

The detail is in the filing. Several thick binders of detail in which he systematically overstated the value of assets when seeking loans (fraud) and systematically understating their value when filing taxes (also fraud). 

 

These are not opinion. These are signed and sworn documents by Trump & his henchmen. So many that the filing is asking for summary judgement on the facts.

Summary judgment is granted when there are no other facts to be tried. All of the necessary statements and evidence are already in front of the judge, and there’s no way to obtain more information.

 

Summary judgment is granted when the facts can be decided upon without needing to go to trial, where the opposing party would lose due to a lack of evidence. If it’s not clear that there is no more evidence, then summary judgment must be denied.

New York says Trump should be found liable for fraud, even before a trial

New York's attorney general on Wednesday asked a state judge to declare, even before the start of a trial, that Donald Trump committed fraud by submitting false statements to bankers and insurers and overstating his net worth by up to $2.23 billion.

In filings with a state court in Manhattan, Attorney General Letitia James said evidence in her civil case showed "repeated and persistent fraudulent use" by Trump and his family business of false and misleading financial statements from 2011 to 2021.

This Letitia James you speak of sounds familiar. There was an irrational hatefilled politician that ran for office on the fascistic and undemocratic platform of Getting Trump regardless of merit. Not one and the same surely?

 

 Anti democracy haters are naturally not very credible sources. I prefer level headed facts backed up by actual evidence.

 

 As a south Florida property owner I can state the real value is somewhere inbetween the 2 camps values. Ie both are as wrong as each other.

The problem for Trump is that declared value for assets should be the same when filing for bank loans and when paying taxes.

"And part of that effort specifically was to oust the chief prosecutor who was considered particularly ineffective. And when it came to Burisma, U.S. diplomats said that that prosecutor was ineffective because he had not pursued corruption allegations against Burisma.

So, by pushing to get the prosecutor fired, Vice President Biden was actually making it more likely that the Ukrainian government would investigate the company that had his son the board."

 

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/are-trump-allies-peddling-russian-disinformation-about-the-bidens

 

And for a dose of factual reality confirming the silly conspiracy theory the left establishment peddled that Burisma was paying the Biden's illicit millions to fire a complicit prosecutor in order to get a new one to ride Burisma harder (people actually believe this??!)

 

"Shocking emails reveal Hunter Biden helped coordinate a plan with Democrat strategists to 'close down any cases' against the owner of allegedly corrupt Ukrainian gas firm Burisma and 'gain intelligence' on the country's top prosecutor's office."

 

Hunter Biden devised plan to 'close down' US probe into Burisma founder by Viktor Shokin - who was … https://mol.im/a/12453245

 

 

If you read the entire article it does not state that Hunter Biden did anything.  The closest thing to maybe something done by Hunter is a report of second hand info that Hunter called "DC".  Also, the fact that the emails are from a laptop that was in unknown hands for an extended period of time raises suspicions.

 

Shokin now claims he was fired for investigating Burisma.  I wonder why it took so long for him to make the claim.

 

Edit:  Here are the reasons why Shokin was fired.  https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/shokin-s-revenge-ukraine-s-odious-prosecutor-general-fires-honest-deputy-before-parliament-sacks-him/
