The Trump Org Finds a New Way to Play Dirty With NY Investigators

[Zorro]

A judge gave the Trump Organization an ultimatum back in September: Comply with these subpoenas, or hire an outside firm to do it. The Trump Org found a third option.

In September, a judge gave the Trump Organization an ultimatum: Comply with the New York Attorney General’s two-year-old subpoenas, or hire an outside digital forensics company to gather the evidence.

The Trump Organization chose the second option. But with a deadline for the information fast approaching, it’s becoming clear that the Trump family only hired the company to do some of the job—and what is coming will still take plenty more time.

It turns out, the digital forensics company that the Trump Organization chose, HaystackID, wasn’t hired to actually get everything investigators wanted.

“Haystack has not been engaged to perform item five of the stipulated order (which would be a significant undertaking, requiring detailed instructions, and a modified project agreement) nor to issue more detailed monthly reports,” the company’s chief information security officer, John W. Wilson, emailed prosecutors and Trump Organization lawyers last week.

Now, state prosecutors are asking a judge to step in and speed up the evidence collection before it’s potentially too late for the state to sue or file criminal charges against the the Trump Organization.

2. Surely if delays in an investigation are due to the subject, then statutes of limitations should be

... statutes of limitations should be extended.

Otherwise too easy for guilty parties to evade justice.

4. If Letitia can't nail Trump,

then Trump is above the law.

What is so hard to take is the fact that Trump commits crimes in broad daylight and they are on video, in writing and nothing and nobody is going to do anything. Then we have people saying that prosecutors need time to get their ducks in a row when anyone who pays attention can plainly see the evidence.

Mueller got the ducks in a row to indict Trump for the Stormy Daniels payoff but Garland decided not to indict "individual one," and now the statute of limitations has run out for that.

Someone from the "wait and see" crowd talk me off this ledge.

5. We want to make sure we are very prudent before the Fascists take over.

9. When they take over, think of how nice the dotted i's and crossed t's will look though.

7. He Is Above The Law

Nobody seems to want to admit that fact.

It's been that way his whole fucking life.

Only Emboldens Him More.

8. Is it even possible for people who play by the rules to win against people who don't?

11. That is an excellent question.

Some would answer, if we sink to their tactics we're no better than they are. Personally, I'd rather fight a little dirty than live with a boot on my neck, which is where we're headed if they win. I hope we're up for the fight. IMO, our party hasn't acted with boldness in a long, long time.

10. This defies the judge's order. How is it legal??
