(102,289 posts)and either answered questions from investigators or refused some of the funds or both... Someone will dig up an earlier press piece on it, but yes, the friend appears not willing to go down for the Trumps.

(3,335 posts)I always think to myself, and how much of it did you pocket. We all know that Trump has all his family running everything and there's no way that this family isn't skimming milk off the top; particularly when you hear that Trump's businesses income has been on the decline for sometime. All I can say is Lock them ALL up.

Newest Reality
(12,712 posts)That's what I have thought, too.
This is the wrong place to do what they are used to and they either don't realize it or it is just far too addictive and conditioned for them to stop what has been a common way of life that worked well as grifters go. The context is just too large and publicly involved to get away with everything over and over again and expect no repercussions like before.
However, that does offer us some potential relief from this highway robbery and decimation parade, eventually.

New York prosecutors were preparing a case. Then the D.A. overruled his staff after a visit from a top donor: Trump attorney Marc Kasowitz.

Pretend Ivanka was not Ivanka. But down on luck. Homeless. Suffering from substance abuse. Goes into unlocked lobby of residential building. Takes shoes. She'd be charged w/ class C felony in NY. Minimum 3.5. Max 15. Shes accused of stealing $40 million.

hlthe2b
(102,289 posts)He can't fire all of the SDNY attorneys. And, they have already shown they can be strategic against him. So actually is on paper, but in reality he does not hold all the cards.

(61,695 posts)Do they wear orange in federal prison, or that dull tan color?
I hope Martha Stewart tells her to "stuff it" if Ivanka asks for advice on living in prison.
