New York state seeks Eric Trump's testimony in probe of Trump Organization

[Tbird19482]

Why is NY going after people that are not residents in their state? How would you feel if Texas started prosecuting BLM groups for terrorism---in Dallas?

You should examine what NY and the SDNY is doing because they are acting in ways you would not want more conservative venues acting. It protects all of us when jurisdiction has proper boundaries and is held accountable locally for their prosecutorial decisions. That's why its important to mention that the SDNY office never held anyone responsible for the financial crisis, despite it being within their jurisdictional boundaries. Plenty of corruption in this case and not all of it limited to the defendants.

I thought IF somebody breaks a law in another state that state has the right to prosecute them, even IF they are NOT a resident of that state.
Or is NY or other states just suppose to say OH sorry we bothered you when we prosecuted you for breaking one of our laws , just go on your way we won't do it again ( you can just go around our state doing what ever you want and breaking law after law and we will just look the other way)
Have a nice day

[h=2]The AG contends Donald Trump improperly inflated the value of his businesses.[/h]New York State Attorney General Letitia James has called on a judge to compel Eric Trump to comply with a subpoena as part of the state's investigation into the Trump Organization's financial dealings.


The investigation stems from Congressional testimony by Donald Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen who said the president's "annual financial statements inflated the values of Trump's assets to obtain favorable terms for loans and insurance coverage, while also deflating the value of other assets to reduce real estate taxes," James said in a statement.


The New York AG's office has been investigating the Trump Organization for over a year on various deals, including the attempted purchase of the Buffalo Bills, according to court papers. James said despite offering cooperation, the organization has not turned over key documents her office has sought in the investigation, and has instructed key witnesses, including Donald Trump's son Eric, to refuse to testify under oath despite subpoenas.

Andrew Weissmann was just on Rachel Maddow and he explained this civil case and also the criminal case against the Trump organization.

Andrew Weissmann, Attorney; In 2015 he became the chief of the criminal fraud section of the U.S. Department of Justice. In June 2017 he was appointed to a management role on the 2017 special counsel team headed by Robert Mueller.on the Mueller Investigation

"This is a civil fraud case, not a criminal fraud case but it could become that. Allegations that Eric Trump and the Trump organization were responsible for not reporting 100 million dollars of income and inflating deductions to the tune of 46 million dollars in properties in Westchester, Chicago, Los Angeles and across the country. This could not be more serious in terms of what it is that the Attorney General is looking at.

There is also a criminal case involving Trump's business filed by the NY District Attorney that is also in process. The ruling whether or not the DA can subpoena tax returns will come from the SC perhaps as early as this week.

Eric Trump is notable in the filing made in NY today that he refused to testify in the New York Attorney General lawsuit saying that he was very concerned about whether his testimony would be used in the New York criminal case. The Attorney General told him 'no' we're not coordinating with them. Clearly by his refusal to testify by what he said "under the Constitution" which is code for asserting his Fifth Amendment, clearly he's worried about what it is that the NY District Attorney -- the criminal side -- is doing.

So you have someone who is going to give a speech at the convention tonight who is refusing to testify either in the state criminal case and state civil case."

The leftist communist democrats in New York seek to overthrow the republican party in the US to give their commies a leg up in the election.

Oh, you and the same old bull**** about 'leftist communists', That's getting old and it's just damned ignorant to boot. Trump's base in jeopardizing our entire country with their support of this bastard.

Don’t you guys ever get any new material.

I’ve been hearing that crap since the days when the John Birchers handed it out on mimeographs on street corners.

What are you talking about? Don't you understand that the businesses under investigation are registered in NY State and the NY Attorney General has every legal right to investigate possibly wrongdoing. There's 500 business entities run by the Trump Organization and 250 of those use the Trump name.

So before you get all bent out of shape, you really should check facts first. Like it or not, the Trump empire began and still exists primarily in the state of New York. The entire family is New York to the bone.

If there is something illegal going on it shouldn't need to be taken up by an outside jurisdiction as a political issue---it should be taken up where Kolfage resides. Do you agree or disagree?

This case isn't about fraud, its about shutting down conservative causes. Its not that nothing should be done, but it should be done by a politically unbiased prosecutor----which means not NY.

As an aside, how many people do you think that donated to the wall fund, were satisfied with how the funds were spent? Do some homework before you answer that. There were 2 GoFund me pages, that's your first clue.

Tell the trumps not to commit crimes in new york. As far as your wall, I couldn't care less and won't waste my time looking up that crap.

So, you are for selective prosecution based on politics, your concession is noted.

See that distant point on the horizon? That's the point, it already went over your head.

Targeting based on politics is what is occurring, but you keep thinking its law and order. If NY were serious, they would have been able to prosecute SOMEONE for the utter malfeasance that occurred during the financial crisis.

Keep dancing! You Trumpsters get a lot of practice!

I knew that this was a scam almost the moment right wing media started promoting it. All the little Trumpsters here promoted it too. I wouldn’t be surprised if many of them threw money at these con men either.

They had to go back and ask how many people wanted to leave their donation in place or wanted a refund based on using existing funds to start a new page and use existing funds to help build wall sections. They got a 93% positive response rate. Its a political point that people are willing to spend money to see this done and they are doing it more efficiently than the government has been.

The only people claiming fraud are progressives that didn't donate, can't control how its spent and don't want any wall sections built. The claim of fraud is absent private parties willing to claim such.

No, you dance...

You just need patience. Once all the adults in America die off the commie kids can take over. Biden will likely be gone to meet God by then but there is always the possibility that AOC will still be around.

Did the Birchers tell you about Andrew Weissmann and the dirty democrat prosecutors from NY who are trying to destroy justice and freedom in America with their unjust partisan purges?

i'm sorry but Trump's DOJ, specifically the ADA of SDNY, is claiming these guys committed fraud, and they appear to have the solid documentary proof.

Corruption in plain sight. So naturally you default to the classic "this crime isn't really a crime".

Well its a simple defense, so I guess ya got that going for you.

For which Twump got impeached. Maybe it's not the Bidens....

Leftist commie dogs impeached Trump without a crime and without due process. Kim so Dumb in communist N. Korea would have been proud of the way the democrats broke every rule of law and violated every civil right of the president of the United States to impeach him for being republican.

Where do you get that it is " TARGETING "
Just like any other state if YOU break the law in that state , being or not being a resident , you should be prosecuted and go to jail if guilty
NY has been looking into the Trumps multi lawyer businesses for several years before he became President ,and the law was not clear if they could proceed with him being President , but now that the SCOTUS says they can they are
Have a nice day

Combined with the Kolfage and NRA cases...? That's how I get targeting.

I can understand how Eric Trump feels.

Cohen, who admitted way back when that he had nothing on Trump to affect the campaign investigation, is probably angry he didn't get a "pardon." Hence his willingness to "deal" with the NY State AG.

So IMO it's another Democrat witch-hunt. Of course, when one has a dedicated group of witch-hunters willing to pull out all the stops and go down any road to find a witch?

They are sure to find someone who fits the bill to burn on a pyre.

You do realize this is more than Cohen? They have Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization CFO, and all the records from Deutschebank and soon the records and tax returns from Mazurs. At this point Cohen is irrelevant.

Manhattan District Attorney Investigating Allen Weisselberg | Law & Crime

The courts had a chance to see if this was but a witch-hunt; they didn't think so, which is why the subpoenas are moving forward.

That said, there are two actions moving forward: one by the State of NY AG, which is seemingly a civil action and the other by the Manhattan DA, which is criminal.
