Trump's 440 times of taking the 5th in his NY civil trial could be taken as 440 guilty pleas.

I asked my lawyer/neighbor/friend and the burden of proof in civil trial is different from a criminal
trial. In a civil trial it is the is the preponderance of evidence not proof beyond reasonable doubt.

In a civil case that might be seen as 440 guilty pleas. Trump is so fucked. All of Trump's businesses in New York
might be shut down by Letitia James.


Former President Donald Trump pleaded the Fifth Amendment at least 440 times on Wednesday to avoid answering questions in his four-hour deposition with New York Attorney General Letitia James’s office in lower Manhattan about business dealings at his real estate company, according to NBC News.

I imagine it as a chilling final turn of the plot. His world is coming to an end. He will never have another good day. Loser label will haunt him. The law will pursue him. Mental illness will hobble him. His properties will bankrupt him.
