    Trump knows he going to lose this lawsuit. He stalling for as long as he can. I bet he thinks if he can get back as president he can try and make it disappear.

    I never claimed that you did. I don't think every statement has to be an argument. I was in agreement and extended the thinking to tie it back to the subject.

    That really wasn't the point about not caring about those people. Not saying he does but the bigger point especially in terms of elections is good salespeople don't waste time on people who aren't buying

    But the even bigger point in determining the value of a good candidate is that they don't run the government as if they are selling a product. Government office is one of public service, not sales. The elected official needs to govern all of the people not just those that voted for him. Trump sucked at doing that, which is why he sucked so horribly at his job when he ventured to the field of public service. It's why he was such a failure.

    Does anyone know what the consulting fees to Ivanka were for or that were not as your quote says they must be "ordinary and necessary"

    The question was what were they for

    Again how do you know they were not"ordinary and necessary". That is the standard

    Edit: Again the reason for the rule is to protect the employee. You are harping on payroll taxes which are a benefit to the employee. Its medicare and social security

    Nobody is worried about Ivanka not getting benefits. You think the Trump Organization put themselves at risk to avoid taxes on $750K in payroll?

    If Trump wanted to give her $750K he can write her a personal check

    Because he's bad enough to say it more than once.

    You were talking about what he did well. Why did you mention it twice even after I agreed with you the first time?

    I was merely continuing to expand on the things that you said and how they don't help someone be a good leader or suited to a career in government and civil service.

    I never said they make someone a good leader. You can't be a good or bad leader till you win an election

    There aren't enough Trump is bad posts here?

    Get off the I'm not arguing ****. Your second post was saying good at winning elections doesn't make you good at running government

    So your first argumentive post is not caring about people who don't vote you makes you a bad leader and your second is he doesn't run government well.

    Neither have shitt to do with my point and as usual you don't stand by your bullshit with the oh I'm not arguing. If you didn't want to argue you would have stfu when I said I never said he was good at running government

    previously, as a result of the findings on the "self-dealing" frauds committed by the Trump Foundation, both of them (along w Orange hair and the other son)
    had already been barred by Letitia James from any association w charities.

    It has been reported that the self-anointed princess was involved in the tax fraud involving bonus payments that the Trump co had paid to her over the years;
    i wonder what other fraudulent schemes Fredo was involved in?

    New York’s Trump Inquisition
    AG Letitia James better have good justification for her investigation.
    By The Editorial Board
    Jan. 4, 2022 6:36 pm ET

    One feature that distinguishes the U.S. legal system from, say, Russia’s, is that prosecutors are charged with pursuing justice—not politically disfavored individuals or families. New York Attorney General Letitia James’s legal pursuit of Donald Trump, his organization and his children, now entering its fourth calendar year, smacks of the latter. She’s now trying to compel testimony from two of the former President’s children, and there had better be rock-solid evidence of significant wrongdoing at the end of this road to justify the corrosive appearance of politicized justice.

    Ms. James’s investigation, according to a 2020 court filing, focuses on whether Mr. Trump or others “improperly inflated the value of [his] assets on annual financial statements in order to secure loans and obtain economic and tax benefits.”

    The Attorney General’s recent subpoena of Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, which they are trying to quash, seeks information “in connection with an investigation into the valuation of properties owned or controlled by Donald J. Trump or the Trump Organization, or any matter which the Attorney General deems pertinent thereto.”

    A federal lawsuit filed by Mr. Trump seeking to halt the investigation notes that his son Eric already was deposed by Ms. James’s office in 2020, and that the former President has “produced over 8 million pages of documents in response to [Ms. James’s] subpoenas” since 2019.

    The lawsuit notes that Ms. James’s 2018 campaign to be New York’s top legal officer was dominated by political attacks on Mr. Trump. She said she’d investigate “anyone in [Trump’s] orbit,” and declared the President “illegitimate.” Even Daniel Goldman, a Democratic ex-prosecutor who would go on to serve on the House 2019 impeachment investigation targeting Mr. Trump, said Ms. James’s campaign could “give the appearance of an individualized political vendetta,” the lawsuit says.

    In June the Manhattan District Attorney indicted the Trump Organization and its former chief financial officer for allegedly concealing executive compensation. They’ve pleaded not guilty, and the charges might have been handled by a fine if not for Mr. Trump’s low political standing in New York.

    Ms. James’s parallel investigation has yet to produce civil fraud charges. Attorneys General of both parties are increasingly entangled in national partisan politics, but it would take significant findings of fraud by her office to justify the damage to the legal system inflicted by an apparently political probe against an opposition party leader. Unless Ms. James has the goods and can prove them unambiguously, her investigation looks like more evidence of the decline of America’s rule of law.

    Appeared in the January 5, 2022, print edition.
