Snip< "I cannot overstate how damaging these admissions are for Trump Jr., as pleasant and relatively yawn-inducing as this review of financial documents sounds," MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin tweeted. Rubin added: "Not only does the AG take issue with the veracity of those representations, but the fact that Trump Jr. signed it, after this investigation is underway, without having more than a cursory discussion with the same accountants to whom the representations were made is stunning."

As one article stated they could have taken the fifth. There was no advantage to answering questions. Now Jr, at least, has personal legal issues on top of the family businesss dire outlook.

(4,741 posts)After consulting with the COO and with the accountants and thinks he can walk scot-free because he claims to have asked them if it was all true, they said yes, "me no bad!"
The problem: The accountants (Mazars) relied on information that this trashy pack of traitors gave them to draw up these accounting reports. They didn't pull numbers out of their bums--they used what these grifting scumbags gave them.
As George Conway puts it in the linked article:
Emphases his.
Mazars used the information they were given--i.e., used what these trashy traitors reported about the valuations. Then the trash signed off on these financial statements, while knowing full well how they were inaccurate. And all so that they could manipulate loans and tax breaks in their favor.
AG James is laying out the entire criminal enterprise brilliantly.
