Iβm not going to bother getting my hopes up about Trump or his family going to jail but if nothing else this will hopefully make it a lot harder for those crooks to find people willing to loan them money.

βtheir February 9, 2022 letter confirms that after conducting a subsequent review of all prior statements of financial condition, Mazarsβ work was performed in accordance with all applicable accounting standards and principles and that such statements of financial condition do not contain any material discrepancies,β a Trump Organization spokesperson said Monday. βThis confirmation effectively renders the investigations by the DA and AG moot.β"

This may be small potatoes compared to some of the other grift and corruption that took place in the last administration but it still gets me mad because at the same time this asshole was abusing his power I was forced to sell off company stock that was in my retirement portfolio because the entertainment company I work for has some extremely minor dealings with the department of the interior, where my wife works part-time as a geophysicist. (The implication being that she could somehow single-handedly grant my company some kind of unfair advantage that would increase the stock price.)
β¦and now we know why he turned down that 100 million dollar offer
Alternative title: βIβve Fallen And I Canβt Get Up.β
i.e. subject that they donβt like, whereas the junk that they like and no one else does are fine manditory.
