The Criminal Investigation Trump Can’t Pardon His Way Out of Is “Significantly Escalating”

Here comes the Twitter meltdown!

The New York Times reports that prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, which is probing the possibility Trump or Trump Organization employees committed financial crimes, have interviewed several employees from the president’s bank and insurance broker over recent weeks, “significantly escalating an investigation…that he is powerless to stop.”

Michael Cohen also told Congress in February 2019 that Trump and Trump Organization employees falsified his net worth depending on the situation; to try and get on Forbes’s list of the wealthiest people in America, he would allegedly offer an inflated figure, while “deflat[ing] his assets to reduce his real estate taxes.” In fact, Deutsche Bank employees and executives reportedly suspected for years that Trump was inflating his assets by as much as 70%, according to the New York Times; the company apparently decided to continue lending the real estate developer money because they believed he had enough to personally guarantee the debt. (More recently, the bank has been eager to “end all ties” with its former client, whose loans of some $340 million start coming due in two years. This is going to be delicious watching this unfold. The Donald has lied about his net worth and been scamming the system his whole adult life. But Karma finally catches up with you one way or the other.

At one time, Henry, my friends would laugh at me whenever I'd tell them that I thought Trump might eventually decide to get the heck out of Dodge and go to Russia. Now, they aren't laughing as much.

Well, actually, they're still laughing at me, but not about that.
