The State of New York has decided that–in the civil case of fraud–the Trump organization is so obviously guilty that the judge made a Summary Judgement of guilt. Judge Engoron opined that the evidence is so compelling he wasn’t going to waste court time and cost on a trial. The evidence speaks for itself. All that remains is the decision on how much penalty will be inflicted. The DA is asking for a $250 million fine and revocation of Trump to do business in New York for a number of years–maybe forever. Now broaden the context. Trump also owns property in Hawaii, Nevada, Illinois, Virginia, California, North Carolina, Washington DC, Connecticut and Maryland. Why aren’t those states Attorneys General investigating his property “transactions” in those states? If his guilt is so obvious in New York–why would anyone expect him to have conducted business differently in those other states? Some of those states are considered “blue” states meaning that their government is controlled by Democrats; so, what’s the reason for not checking out the high probability that the Trump Organization is just as guilty of fraud in those states as it is in New York? A taxpayer suit should be filed because such a large organization should be paying its full share of taxes and following all state banking laws. Is it?
