Fingers crossed.

"Invited"? Invited to an indictment?

"Invited"? Invited to an indictment?

Uh, that does indeed look to have been a typo, the OP meant to say indicted.

Edit: OP corrected the error.

 

[Moonbeam]

"Invited"? Invited to an indictment?

Fixed. Hard to type with fingers crossed.

 

[HomerJS]

oh I'm hoping

I'm predicting this major announcement is that she found a better job and someone else will have to take over the investigation and start from scratch.

Remember, this is a civil suit.

Fox is going to make things look like an old time public lynching party was in progress if Donald really is being indicted.

PBS is also going to be streaming it on YT if an alternate source is needed...

She's probably just waiting until Biden's address to the UN GA is over ...

And I predict it'll be a suit naming the Org, TFG, and dumb son Eric.

And there it is:

Trump Accused of Overvaluing His Assets in N.Y. Lawsuit

In the culmination of a yearslong investigation and a series of legal skirmishes, the New York state attorney general, Letitia James, accused the former president of systematically misstating the value of his properties.

Not an indictment, but seems like one of the first truly large-scale legal actions against Trump. It's tackling fraud over the course of a decade, and would effectively kick the Trumps out of business in the state. Not counting on the DOJ referral leading to a criminal case, but what I'm hearing in the livestream suggests charges are plausible.

The main catch is that the Trump family will likely use the familiar delaying tactics: contest the evidence, appeal rulings, demand unrealistic terms. This isn't a lawsuit that will wrap up in a few months.

It's not criminal ... yet. But there was a huge nugget early on in her statement about the referrals to SDNY and IRS. That's probably the biggest problem in there when coupled with the CEOs plea dead with the Feds.

Should only take 5 years to wind through the courts, yeah?

Not to mention the approximately $250 million they're seeking for damages (I think.)

 

[ImpulsE69]

Anyone know if this is the possible lawsuit that helped him decide to run for office, or is this yet another?

 

[BoomerD]

He DOES have the right to a speedy trial, same as regular people...

My understanding is that it's up to the judge.

 

[thilanliyan]

He can also slow walk it in the courts...a right only afforded to wealthy people

Again, wake me up when he actually faces legitimate consequences and/or isn't President in 2024.

 

[Stokely]

No doubt. I wonder how much any of this will matter in 2024 when President Trumpsantis waves it all away...and if the laws don't permit this, well those can be changed.

Though honestly if Desantis beats out Trump he might not be inclined to help him, it depends on how loyal the maga types are to the GOP or Trump (which right now is the same thing.). Trump might be a roach but he won't live forever.

Leave it to you to demand the toast be burn enough to set off the smoke detector.
