President Trump recently lost an appeal and must testify in a civil investigation by New York State attorney general Letitia James. Her action was taken based on testimony and evidence given by former Trump attorney Michael Cohen. This is the same Michael Cohen who pleaded guilty to eight counts, including criminal tax evasion and campaign finance violations.
While we may not be privy to the inner workings of our justice departments in the United States, it seems rather convenient that the government could take evidence from Michael Cohen regarding his claims of the improprieties of President Trump's financial records after Cohen pleaded guilty to eight counts.

The Hounds of Hell are doing everything they can to keep Trump off the ballot for 2024.
Next: Civil War II.

As Queen Hillary once said,"What difference does it make now?" Oh, that's right. They have to keep after him in order to get rid of him. They like the Communist state we are now in and want it to stay that way.

Frankly, I would strongly prefer another YOUNGER conservative to Trump in 2024.
Trump is not an immortal. He is sharp for someone his age today, but consider that a 2024 Trump win would mean he is 82 near the end of a first term, meaning little to no chance for a SECOND term and an opening for another democrat.
Let's get DeSantis in for 2024 and enjoy him for a full 8 years.

They really don't want Trump involved anywhere in government. If they succeed, take it as proof that our representative form of government has failed.

Re #6 - Trump has been investigated ad nauseum and nothing. Screw Michael Cohen who is out for his bit of revenge. You don't think they won't go after DeSantis and his family with the same blind fury as they have Trump?

No doubt Cohen is a pure ambulance chaser style lawyer who Trump used to handle the routine pain in the butt legal issues that were bound to come along in the many businesses that Trump ran in New York City.
Now, who would ever hire and trust Cohen to be their lawyer?

Personal financial statements are "unaudited" and "to the best of my knowledge of the owner". They are most often owner prepared, and are listings of asset costs and owner estimates of FMV, and listings of owner liabilities. Few owners have any accounting knowledge, but know what they own, and what they owe. Often, assets are left off, such as life insurance policies, which nobody understands. Assets and liabilities are not listed, because the owner has listed sufficient assets and liabilities to justify and secure the loan, and the remaining are nobody's business. Personal financial statements are used by financial institutions as lists of assets and liabilities, forming their own opinions of FMV when their Loan Committee determines to make the loan, or not. If the Loan Committee has any reservations, they can always request that the personal financial statement be "audited" by a firm of CPA's, who do that for a living. Personal financial statements are almost never "audited". The property itself is sufficient to secure the loan. The personal financial statement is only a secondary backing for the loan in case of FMV in the property, or as additional collateral for any questions about the legal existence or exposures of the owner's LLC, Sub S, C Corp, Sole Proprietorship, or whatever entity the owner has chosen to operate.

like the old saying goes: if you dig long enough, you WILL find what you're looking for, not that it takes sophistication and expertise,
in this case it only took the exuberant choice on how to ruin one person, who has done nothing wrong and validate the poisonous and vehement will of the evil of some, unfortunately, people holding positions of vast responsibility, that is the demcommie party of our country, today, totally Marxist, Stalinist, Communist, with some Mao thrown in when you want to be very, very evil

@#6- Trump can only serve one more term, not two.

I believe the author misstated the original Catch-22. As I recall the catch was that according to the rules the only way to be excused from flying dangerous missions was if you asked to be excused because you were crazy. However, if you asked to be excused, you showed concern for your own welfare, which showed you weren't crazy. Thus, it was impossible to get any relief from the insanity.
