New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron in a 35-page opinion “found that Donald Trump and his family business committed fraud by making false and misleading valuations on much of his real-estate empire and ordered the cancellation of legal certificates that have allowed the Trumps to do business in the state.” He claims that “the Trumps have repeatedly relied ‘on bogus arguments’ that ignore basic rules about how assets are valued. To the Trumps, rent-regulated apartments are worth the same as unregulated ones, and restricted land is worth the same as unrestricted property”.
To Engoron “This is a fantasy world, not the real world.” And to correct these egregious business practices “the judge said it was necessary to go ahead and cancel the Trump business certificates now because the defendants ‘have continued to disseminate false and misleading information while conducting business,’ even as an independent monitor has been overseeing their actions.” (more here)
This hands a pre-appeal victory to New York Attorney General Letitia James who has been hunting Trump for some years now. Looking at the nature of the charges they have cobbled together, this puts the AG and the judge into the large cohort of Democrats in which evil and rank ignorance cohabit. Consider the charge that a property owner cannot price his own properties, especially prices that have been accepted by some of the world’s largest and most sophisticated lenders who have repeatedly dealt with Trump in mutually beneficent deals that have enriched all participants.
According to these evil idiots – abetted by legions of Democrats and lamestream outlets - the government is the final arbiter of real estate prices (what next?), and can criminally charge citizens with fraud if they price their properties higher than what is acceptable to our overseers. How does one find common ground with such senseless autocrats, let alone abide with them peacefully within the same borders?

[California Dems are giving ‘butt stupid’ a expanded definition with their new CCW law that prohibits law-abiding citizens to exercise their concealed carry rights in an expanded array of places that include schools, government buildings, prisons, hospitals, airports, and bars. The criminally intent and crazies out there welcome such prohibitions which keep them safe as they carry out their plans for murder and mayhem. It is amazing that we walk the same planet with idiots who believe such laws will reduce ‘gun violence’. gjr]
