The Trump Crime Family - Legal Issues

[Ike Bana]

The Trump Organization is a group of about 500 business entities of which Donald Trump is the sole or principal owner. Around 250 of these entities use the Trump name.

Why 500 different business entities? Because he's a fucking crook who will value his businesses differently depending on where the reporting goes. It's one value for tax purposes, it's a different value for banking/loan purposes, it's a different value for insurance purposes. It's a different value for bankruptcy filing. Because he's a fucking crook.

The Georgia grand jury that is expected to consider charges against former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies for trying to overturn the 2020 election will be selected today in Atlanta.

Godspeed, Ms. Willis (or as the scared-shitless Lying Dotard calls her “racist” and a “lunatic Marxist.")

Lawyers for former President Donald J. Trump asked a federal judge on Monday night to indefinitely postpone his trial on charges of illegally retaining classified documents after he left office, saying that the proceeding should not begin until all “substantive motions” in the case had been presented and decided...

Some of the former president’s advisers have been blunt in private conversations that he is looking to winning the election as a solution to his legal problems.

Let's see what the inexperienced MAGA judge does now.

I read up on this a bit and expectation is that if Judge (puke) Amy Cannon decides in Trumps favor, then if he does get elected, he can then have this suit dismissed by the DOJ. If she does grant the extension, apparently this does not provide a legal reason for the DOJ to appeal. So my expectation is that she will grant the extension since this is too easy an opportunity with no recourse.

Cannon surprises everyone with a 'rocket docket' for Trump's federal trial

Sounds like she took her severe spanking last time seriously. Great news!

Edit: Crap, the story was wrong and has been retracted. Dammit!

WOW, simply WOW. I would have bet a lot of money she would grant the extension. Hope she stays consistent during the trial.

Read the edit. It's been retracted, the story was wrong. I highly doubt Ms. Cannon will do the right thing, sadly.

Thanks, I just did. I just read the headline, not the rest and went looking for the report.

• October: Trump, his children and the Trump Organization will go on trial in New York City on whether they committed tax and business fraud by changing the value of their properties to dodge taxes or trick investors.
  December (maybe): This is when the government hopes to put Trump on trial about whether he hid and lied about having classified documents after he left office. If found guilty, he could face years in prison.
  
• January 2024: The presidential election year will start off with another defamation trial against Trump. In May, a jury agreed he sexually abused E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s, and later defamed her, and they ordered him to pay Carroll $5 million. The day after that verdict, Tump went on CNN and called Carroll a “whack job” and maintained that her story is fake. Now he’s on trial for saying that.
  
• January 2024: He’s got another trial in New York over whether he and his company promoted a pyramid scheme while he was hosting “The Celebrity Apprentice.” Trump could be cross-examined and, depending what the jury decides, have to pay fines.
  
• March 2024: As the Republican presidential primary really gets going, Trump will have a criminal trial in New York City on whether he falsified business records to make hush money payments to an adult-film star during the 2016 presidential campaign.

And we still have Fani Willis and Jack Smith about to lower their big hammers.

Career criminal just can't catch a break.

Honorary member of the Trump Crime Family, Mike Lindell, seems to be circling the drain:

MyPillow is auctioning off hundreds of pieces of equipment and subleasing some manufacturing spaces amid what founder and CEO Mike Lindell calls a massive, massive cancellation.

Lindell, in an interview with the Star Tribune, said MyPillow lost $100 million from attacks by box stores, the shopping networks, the shopping channels, all of them did cancel culture on us.

Several retailers, including Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond and Kohl's, pulled MyPillow products from their shelves after Lindell continued to claim the 2020 presidential election was stolen from former President Trump.

LOL. Wait until the Smartmatic lawsuit goes to court. This crazed lunatic will be selling pillows in black plastic bags at busy intersections alongside the squeegee boys.

Is Schadenfreude a bad thing?
