He certainly is contemptible.

Above the law.

Unless marshall's go to his home and arrest him, this is all window dressing.

I think that my be what it takes.

Even then, he’ll howl that he’s a victim, and his knuckledraggers will all play victim with him.

They would take up arms to protect him from American laws.

Trump is a traitor and anyone who violently defends him against a righteous exercise of justice deserves what they get. I'd love to see these white separatists and fascist militants step up to get stomped by the military.

The one positive thing is that these fascists are too dumb to keep their traitorous opinions to themselves. They won't be hard to identify.

Trump should simply say the documents which the AG seeks cannot be found.

Which he did:

Trump also said that subject to his objections ’he would not produce any documents” responsive to the subpoena” because his lawyer said that none of the documents could be found, the filing said. (from the CNBC article)

He took them all home and then conveniently forgot what he did with them.

Sure!!!!! I doubt that even trump nation actually believes that one!

Trump did not state that he "forgot what he did with them". You made that part up.

Trump said that "none of the documents could be found".

People misplace documents all the time. How was Trump supposed to know which documents the N.Y.A.G. would demand he produce?

 

[tacomancer]

I wonder if the toilets in NY flush documents better than the ones in DC.

Contempt means 'fines. in this case. Also, it means that the refusal can be held against him, since it is a civil case.

Plausible deniability isn't going to work here. Trump is obliged to produce and maintain these documents.

If they don't exist or go missing that reflects poorly upon him, as well it should.

Whether a contempt charge is the right consequence is up to the judge. It's the court's orders he's disregarding.

 

[RAMOSS]

Because there is a difference between a criminal investigation, and being suied in the civil court. I am surprised you don't realize it. One standard is for civil cases, the other is for criminal l cases.

He also noted (according to the article) that if the documents existed, they would be maintained by the Trump Organization. Not having seen the actual response, it would make sense that the "Trump Organization" (the company) would be custodian of records on New York properties. Trump wouldn't personally maintain the records on hundreds of properties. This may be getting into technicalities, but generally Subpoenas have to be specific.

If it's a matter of wording then they'll cure that directly, but Trump isn't going to slide claiming his dog ate his homework.

The man should be put in jail until he complies with the court order.

Imposing a fine isn't going to do much of anything.

WOW!

Yep. That's a very serious problem. If he is arrested, a militia of the duped will go from potential to active, and the question then becomes how many. We saw what happened when he clearly and decisively lost an election.

Leticia James sounds familiar.

Sounds like you are not expressing yourself in a manner that can be read properly.


But, there is no double standard.

Can you pay a $10,000 a day fine from contributions? Will it ever be paid at all?

Sure. They’ll just cook up yet another political fundraising scam and pocket all the sucker money again!
