Please allow me to state the blindingly obvious in the NY AG Leticia James vs. Don Jr & Ivanka thing

[Miles Archer]

I have no idea what tactics she'll use as Princess Ivanka continues to say "Daddy told me I don't HAVE to testify, so THERE," and Don Jr. replays his dad's "witch hunt" rhetoric to stir up support among the MAGAts (who are powerless against AG James, but don't tell Don, he's on a roll)...

...BUT IF it looks like AG James is getting so close that she'll either lock them up or get their asses in court, DONALD TRUMP will care for ONE REASON ONLY..."They're getting too close to me." Won't care about Don Jr. Won't care about the Princess. Will care about his own ass.

But you knew that, so carry on.

NY AG James
@NewYorkStateAG

We are taking legal action to force Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., and Ivanka Trump to comply with our investigation into the Trump Organization’s financial dealings.

No one in this country can pick and choose if and how the law applies to them.

1. Can she grab

assets out side of New York? Can she send cops to Florida to arrest him ? This should be interesting to watch

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Florida (read, DeSantis) can't refuse extradition from FL to NY.

Same with assets in Florida.

[wnylib]

8. Which doesn't mean that he

wouldn't do it anyway.

This is no doubt why Trump moved from NY to FL. He knew that investigations in NY were coming. He expected Desantis to protect him.

OTOH, if Trump plans to run in 2024, and Desantis also plans to run, there is a conflict of personal interests if Desantis helps to protect Trump from NY investigations.

10. Desantis high protect Trump. But Trump wouldn't be able to set foot out of Florida.

Other governors might not protect him.

Goodbye to his N.J. Bedminster summers. Any N.J. governor that didn't extradite him, would be a one-termer.

17. He may want Trump out of the picture, so he doesn't have to be in a primary against him.

[Irish_Dem]

19. This is the only reason he would follow the law.

To get rid of a rival.

[radical noodle]

16. He might not want to

Trump's bashing of DeSantis in the last couple of weeks might have altered the way DeSantis will look at this.

[2naSalit]

3. Finally, action!

[Emile]

4. Arrest them now!

[gab13by13]

5. According to Dan Goldman,

Trump has a good case to not sit for a deposition because there is a criminal case going on and Trump is claiming that information from his civil deposition will be used in the criminal case.

I think that Trump will get of giving a deposition.

Leticia needs to coordinate this with the Manhattan DA better.

[jaxexpat]

6. I think so, too.

Justifying or illuminating the particulars of one's case in the Twittersphere is not the same as coordinating with other judicial authorities. Scares me to think that the Trumps will get off due to blatant prosecutorial incompetence. Even the Keystone Cops never arrested themselves.

[3Hotdogs]

9. That is why Bill Cosby didn't get to serve his full sentence. His testimony in a civil case was used

against him in the later criminal case, despite former prosecutor's assurance to him that it wouldn't

[Zambero]

18. Crime certainly pays

Irony remains dead. The more crimes committed, the more legal loopholes for the perpetrators. One measly crime could get you convicted, whereas multiple crimes serve to neutralize one another. Accountability? Forget it!

[AngryOldDem]

7. I can hear him now...

“Ivanka? Don Jr.? Never heard of ‘em.”

[Wounded Bear]

22. "I think they used to get coffee or something..."

[GoCubsGo]

11. The only question is...

How soon will Ivanka and Junior throw each other AND Daddy under the bus? You know they will. Especially Junior. I'm sure he wants to get back at his father for treating him like shit all these years.

[oldsoftie]

12. But HE signed the papers with the inflated numbers. Not them.

He'll have a hard time tossing them under the bus on many of these latest allegations.

[Kablooie]

13. I believe Trump can pick and choose.

And get away with it.
Too many loopholes in the laws and Trump lawyers do nothing but search and exploit them.
Its what money can buy you.

[gab13by13]

14. Does it really matter if Trump is forced to give a deposition?

Letitia got Eric to do a deposition last year. Eric invoked his 5th Amendment rights to 500 questions.

He only answered background questions.

[DanieRains]

15. Jail Is For Poor People

Everyone knows that.

Good try though.

You try telling the tax assessor your property is worth $10,000 for years and get away with it. After getting a $500,000 2nd mortgage.

Panama Papers, nothing.

Pandora Papers, nothing.

Me and you, we do the time when we cheat.

[Cha]

20. Rt TY!

[Tickle]

21. This is a civil investigation

I didn't know that I thought it was criminal
