The first New York State AG approach was to claim Donald Trump and the Trump organization undervalued their company assets, specifically real-estate assets, in order to avoid income and property tax liabilities. That didn’t work. Apparently, they discovered the complex valuation system of finance in real-estate that ebbs and flows as property evaluations rise and fall under market conditions.
Next up, the same New York AG moved to target Donald Trump and the Trump organization for overvaluing their company assets, specifically real-estate assets, in order to gain favorable financial and banking terms. Thus, the claims today from New York’s political activist Attorney General Letitia James, which will, like all efforts before, eventually fail.
The leftist goal is to continue targeting President Donald Trump through lawfare in order to bleed him out and/or make him go away. Which really raises an interesting aspect as to the unique nature of Donald J Trump.
What is it about this one man’s outlook that causes such levels of fear and targeting?
The big picture answer is found in the primary Donald Trump objective, “America-First!”
….There are trillions at stake.
.
The above meme is very accurate, albeit not specific. What the Big Club wants is control over everything related to money; as a result, that brings control over all human activity, at least that’s what they believe.
President Trump stands in the way of this larger ideological construct that forms the cornerstone of the Big Club and all the tentacles of politics. Everything is always about the economics of the thing, even ideology.
Donald J Trump puts the manipulated global financial system, a system based on exploitation of sovereign wealth, at risk. Donald J Trump opposes the biggest of the big force elements that are aligned against people. No other person has ever, or would ever, attempt to confront that scale of enemy.
Do you recognize what scale of effort they are willing to exhaust in order to remove the threat Trump represents?
Can you fathom what Machiavellian deployment they would be willing to organize in order to retain the system of controlling western wealth?
Do you realize what personal characteristics a ‘John Galt‘ must possess in order to face that enemy?
Great MAGA King type characteristics.
They trained her not to throw her scat
So there is that..
Being in the same business as the president, we can’t re-fi or get asset financing without using one of the bank’s approved appraisers and other 3rd party vendors (like environmental, etc.). The tax returns yielded nothing. They got the CFO on using company assets for personal use.
No doubt this is yet another, Demshevik TDS nothing burger with a special helping of racism toward Mr. Trump by an in-over-her-head prosecutor who’s city is burning down around her.
Demshevik…I like that!
I was a commercial lender for a major national bank. That was my first thought when I heard about this waste of time and money witch hunt. My initial reaction was, how in the H…. did it get past a grand jury (assuming one was opened) the fact that no bank, ever, would be willing to just accept at face value the valuation of real estate assets on a financial statement (or any pledged assets) without outside, independent evaluation? Lenders would never get a credit approval past a local credit administrator, or through a credit committee, or a board of directors, any loan of even $100,000 without an appraisal. For commercial real estate involving income (rental, leases, etc) we would require an independent appraisal that would use 3 valuations: market, income and replacement. Using those evaluations the appraiser, who is generally trained and licensed by the state for this field, would provide a summary value on which we would then apply internal bank policies regarding percentage of advance, length of term, etc. Additionally, valuations on an audited financial statement would also be tested and a decline or increase in value would necessarily have to be addressed on the balance sheets and net worth adjusted accordingly. I hope Activist James experiences total reputational destruction when this is all gets addressed in the courts.
City? The entire state is burning down around her. James is the Attorney General for the State of New York.
I believe this particular idiot reside in Albany.
The more they do the more they confirm my belief that they are nothing but a bunch of dog wads. The Tuesday broad just helped another MAGA candidate win their office.
Filing losing, meritless cases is typical Judicial Terrorism.
The sole question, which judge did they bribe and for how much?
Yes, and malicious prosecution! Malice’s forethought
One gentle correction Jeanine. It is Malice aforethought.
Judicial Terrorism nails it!
She reminds me of the person who was lost on a Colorado mountain for 24 hours and did not answer rescue calls because the hiker did not recognize the number
She reminds me of an offensive lineman for the Giants. Just look at that picture. Whoa!

Last time I checked, banks do their own valuations and appraisals on property before they loan money on real estate.
Exactly
Correct. Absolutely correct. Commercial lenders rely on independent appraisals to determine valuations. They never go by what the customer thinks the properties are worth.
For instance, I know of a situation here recently of a residential real estate refinancing where the home has a market value of $1.2 million. Bank appraisal came in at $860, 000. Bank lent on 860, not $1.2M. That’s how business works. there is no crime there. Same for Trump.
BTW, who is the vicitm in her suit? There isn’t one.
“… who is the vicitm in her suit? There isn’t one. ” Excellent point, Ghostwriter.
No, the victim is Donald Trump.
Isn’t Trump the victim for having to pay for self defense?
Really too bad he cannot sue the AG for slander or persecution….
What about slander?
A: The Trumps. And the Rule of Law.
Bingo- but she knows morons don’t know that….she counts on morons.
Methinks she IS a moron.
I laughed when I heard her spouting this nonsense. Lenders do their own valuations ALWAYS and no one lost a dime.
The New York AG’s press release includes this paragraph in its text:
“In conjunction with the lawsuit, OAG has referred the matter to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for criminal investigation.”
The New York AG’s lawsuit is not frivolous. Whatever its lack of legal merit, it is a serious weapon of political lawfare war against its intended targets, the scope of which goes well beyond Donald Trump himself.
In a lawfare contaminated world where far-left prosecutors weaponize their offices against their political opponents, the lack of substance in their charges is not what matters.
What matters is that these far-left prosecutors can get away with labeling any type of normal business and political activity as a crime, and can also be reasonably certain they will get a conviction in the venue where the charges are being filed, regardless of how little substance there is to the allegations.
It is certain President Trump will be indicted by federal and state prosecutors on multiple phony criminal charges covering multiple alleged crimes related to his Trump Organization business dealings, his efforts to fight election fraud in the stolen 2020 election, and for his possession of alleged classified material.
Look for the DOJ — and also every Soros-installed state Attorney General in every state where the Trump Organization does business or where election fraud is being actively opposed — look for these Soros AG’s to file multiple criminal charges against Donald Trump himself, against members of his family, against his closest business and political associates, and against anyone who has been actively fighting election fraud.
The question isn’t if. The question is who, when, and where.
You’re more of the glass 1/8th full kinda person, eh.
More like a teaspoon in a quart jar. But man, you made me laugh. Thanks.
Battleship Whiskey is right. You might not want to hear what he is outlining, but it’s reality check time: abuse of power is what the Left is doing. It doesn’t matter that the SDNY had this same investigation and closed it down with no charges filed.
The Democrats are all in on this move. They want more than a settlement, more than a promise to never run again for office or take him into bankruptcy. They want a criminal conviction. Prison.
Let’s suppose that MAGA voters turn out in huge numbers on November 3rd and that diligent efforts on the part of MAGA volunteers in fighting election fraud are mostly successful — with the result that a red tsunami does in fact occur.
If this is what happens in the mid-terms, the Democrats and their Deep State minions will double down and even triple down on their blatant abuses of power and will begin targeting anyone and everyone who stands in their way.
In redoubling their efforts, they will focus their immediate attention on Donald Trump himself, on members of his family, on his closest business and political associates, and on anyone who was most visibly prominent in fighting 2020’s election fraud.
Once the most important leaders of the MAGA movement are in the prosecutorial docket, the Democrats and their minions in the Deep State will turn their attention to the rest of us.
Nah, they’ll be running for the hills trying to protect their families.
Well if they’re going to violate the Constitution they lose its protections. Gonna be a bad winter coming.
Are you blind to what has been happening for the last six years?
Fortunately our Constitution, not Federal Statutes, lays out the requirements for becoming President. As I’ve said before, a person can be charged, indicted, convicted, sentenced to prison for any crime and, if elected President, can be sworn into office behind bars by the Chief Justice of the United States. Then, of course, he can pardon himself. Our founding fathers were brilliant!
My sense of Donald Trump is that he is perfectly willing and able to run for president from a prison cell. Heck, for all we know, he might even now be recording speeches for future use in his presidential campaign in the event he finds himself locked behind bars.
Each recorded speech might begin with this admonition: “Citizens of the United States. If the Democrats can lock me into a prison cell for exercising my 1st Amendment rights, for carrying out the responsibilities assigned to me as your 45th President, and for putting America and its citizens first in all of my thoughts and actions, then they can put all of you in jail too.”
I forget what person from Ohio ruled from his prison cell.
Eugene Debs ran for President from his accomodations at Club Fed.
I guess we’re now the United States of Soros.
I wonder what he gets out of destroying the once great USA? Is it just so he isn’t bored?
One theory is that Soros draws energy from the marxist acolytes who closely surround him, the kind of energy which is highly pleasurable to his power hungry soul.
Criminals run this country and evidently the whole of western civilization. Trump opened my eyes so wide, I’ll always be grateful to him for that. Yet at the same time I wish…. Ignorance is truly bliss and that is where many of us were kept.
Letitia graduated from Lehman College in the Bronx which rates highly in social mobility especially for Hispanics. Law degree from Howard. Looks like she has her hair straightened. Does she weigh more than Stacy Abrams? My guess her IQ around 90.
I read that she turned down there offer to settle (why would he settle if ‘he is
not guilty cuz it will make him look guilty) but now she says her door is
open if they want to talk settlement. that she wasn;t interested in before
she files the lawsuit.
Ms. James wanted a bomb shell presser thinking it would help her poll numbers against Henry who she is losing to.
That’s the real story. Her campaign promise.
There are many times people settle who are innocent as it cost more in bad publicity, time and expenses if the case will be drawn out on purpose, or a number of matters. Years ago, I worked for an NBA team and several players would settle with women out of court even when the allegations were false regarding a relationship or even possible baby/abortion just to keep their name and reputation out of the papers.
One of these days President Trump is going to bring an action of malicious prosecution and or abuse of process. We here at the Treehouse will be cheering on team Trump!
Well, he file a big lawsuit this year along those lines and of course the judge tossed it and berated him and his lawyers for even filing it.
He should, but he has to win these cases first. NY knows this case is a loser, and will drop it after the TV cameras are turned off.
Girl gotta get set up for after office life!
MSNBC here she come!!!
Thank God that DJT waited till 2016 to win the presidency. I have read that he thought about running many years before that. Waiting till he was not as involved in the business part of the Trump org. and had already handed over much of the responsibility to his children. Also, moving his main residence out of NYC and mainly staying in NJ and Fl. There is no one except DJT that has $, knowledge , and love of country that would be able to withstand this unrelenting and unwarranted harassment. We are lucky to have him fight for us, because there is no one else that could. Pray for DJT and all of us.
It is never going to stop, unless “We the people” step up.
The Manhattan District attorney tried the same angle – suggesting that r/e valuations were fraudulent. Problem is , appraisals aren’t science and you are going to have to prove intent. And no damages to anyone. That’s why they dropped the case. But this pathetic excuse decided it looked good enough for her. So Trump will win the case and then sue NY for malicious prosecution, using this dummy’s recorded election night promise to get Trump as Exhibit 1.
This charge has been made against Donald Trump for more than 30 years and hasn’t stuck yet.
I could find news articles from the ’80’s reporting on the alleged overvaluation of a parcel that he owned,when Mario was governor, and Andrew was at HUD. The questioned parcel valuation was somewhere around $100 million.
NY AG is total a corrupt crazy women still against president Trump and he’s family’s,
she is nothing But hypocrite coward’s,
Kinda sounds like someone who would spout off to the powers behind the scenes to their faces or about them in a very public setting; and embarrass their public facing emissaries to the world in full public view at major event.
I wonder who’s example he is following or exemplifying?
I just can’t put my finger on it!!!
Well said.
I like Scott, DeSantis, Youngtin but I will give my life for Trump simply because the people and organizations that I believe have and are destroying this country oppose him.
If you were going to give a press conference that was going to be played to millions on the news channels, wouldn’t you have made an effort to look better – at least like you didn’t just wake up after drooling on your pillow all night?
There isn’t any kind of effort that would have helped!
Why are these fat cows like Letitia James and Stacey Abrams so indecent and destructive of our democracy?
They would serve a much better purpose as sides of beef for cannibals.

What part were his kids supposedly playing in all this and they
cooperated with her as far as I remember?
I hate this racist, white hating, piece of black feces.
Hope someone eliminates that POS David Plouffe, and let’s him know why.
Between now and November 8th the dying Democrat party will do anything to stay in power. Pray for President Trump!
She’s been dieting with Stacey Abrams.
$250 million squirrel. Look here! Don’t look here:

Take a look at those indicted. 2 Omar donors and a restaurant where she held events.

I must have seen a glitch in the matrix.
On my tv tucker Carlson started his show talking about laticia James and her desperate targeting of PRESIDENT TRUMP.
Then all of a sudden the tv went black.
When he came back he was talking about transgender mutilation of minor children at Vanderbilt hospital.
Weird!
Now Tucker went back to the laticia James segment just in time for Harmet Dillon to have the final word.
I’ll have to watch his rerun later to see it again.
My TV went dark too, but he covered it later.
Convenient glitch?
IMESHO, just another act of DESPERATION, DELUSION, DESPAIR, and DEMENTIA by the Uniparty and the Swamp!! Isn’t that just another form of harassmant??
Can PDJT sue for frivolous lawsuit?
As a Native New Yorker I am embarrassed to have this obese Low IQ State Attorney General. The whole position should ve abolished. They do nothing to help the citizens of New York State, the job is 100% political.
WE ALL NEED TO PRAY FOR DONALD TRUMP AND HIS FAMILY!! Pray that God will Return him to the WhiteHouse To Save our Country!! To keep giving him the strength and ability to get thru all the harassment and attacks on him and his family !! Dear Lord Please hear our prays and help us!!!!
the sad part of all of these BS lawsuits is that the clueless people out (and there are ALOT of them) hear nothing but the BS rhetoric and outright lies of this AG which is then in turn regurgitated by the scrip readers on the “nightly news” (with their biased and breathless delivery of said “news”) which in turn gives fake validity to BS claims. the whole “circular reporting” or the “smear” as Piglosi calls it. MANY people are susceptible to it (my elderly mother for example) and explaining how much BS it is, truly difficult to lay it out to some non-critical thinkers (my mom included–and I love her dearly but clueless doesn’t even begin to explain her :(..). I do have some hope for her generation however….I visit fairly regularly at our senior center whenever I bring mom there, and some of the conversations I overhear tell me not all 70+yr are as clueless as she 🙂
I KNOW this is petty, but somebody PLEASE get some Vaseline for that “woman’s” elbows!
overvaluing real estate? join the club – the lenders are the utimate decision makers of what the asset is worth since they do the lending. They are not dumb. They should testify re what value they actully assigned to Trump provided values. They assume the risk and make their own decisions on valuation.
These people that are using their positions to harass Trump and his supporters need to be prosecuted and thrown in prison for life. ENOUGH of these witch hunts.
Honestly. I am actually laughing after reading this post and comments. One of the best comedy routines I’ve seen all week. The NY “AG” seems as for most people in the Lawfare craze these daze, OVERVALUTATING (nothing to do with tangible assets) their influence in their position .
Besides that, I know when I need to brush my teeth, comb my hair, and wear presentable clothing just to go grocery shopping. Appearance values aren’t everything, but……
Clearly, the wicked have declared war on the righteous here in America….
May the wicked repent and turn to King Jesus Christ before it is too late for them….
His Kingdom is coming….
As we stand against the wicked and the evil they have embraced, let us remember and be obedient to what He has told us….
“Refrain from anger and abandon wrath; do not fret—it can only bring harm. For the evildoers will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land. Yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found.” -Psalm 37:8-10
Yeah verily. I once had a REAL TEACHER who advised us as students. DO NOT to go to LAW SCHOOL. He equated doing that to what many in England did: become Oxford scholars studying literature. What value to the world in current times did this create?
I think he said going to law school was similar to becoming a lemming. I just looked it up. A lemming is a RODENT. And the lawfare species have been infected with a disease of the most infectious kind that the lemming carries: SELF IMPORTANCE.
The enunciation of AG’s every syllable defines vitriol.
Caustic, hate-driven person!
When will the perpetual persecution of our president stop?
These agencies are rogue.
Law fare is Law-less.
They are spitting on the law.
They want to investigate and terrorize Trump supporters because of what was revealed about them and their criminality.
We cannot “unsee” the overreach and abuse.
MALICIOUS PROSECUTION IS ILLEGAL. IMPEACH JAMES!
As the richest American President ever, Trump laughs in the face of danger and he is funny too.
(edit) Peekaboo.
DJT is the best president we’ve ever had whose facing the forces of evil all around him.
I sure as hell hope the military has his back.
If he still is the commander-in-chief, which I believe he is, the time will come when hundreds of thousands of people will face the gallows.
When it’s all said and done…and the war is won by the Patriots; these people like James and Plouffe need to be held accountable to the full extent of the law and put on display in front of the American people to see how their hatred for this country and this man have come around to bite them in the proverbial behind!
Can’t he, and his children turn around and sue her. and the state for slander, for an equal amount?
