When it was first reported that a New York grand jury had subpoenaed Donald Trump’s tax returns, this meant by definition that the prosecutors in the case were targeting Trump for criminal indictment. Grand juries only exist to indict people, and the subpoena was proof that Trump was the target. Palmer Report shouted rather loudly about this fact, but most news outlets missed or ignored it, even as the case played out in front of the Supreme Court.

Then came a bombshell court filing last week from the Manhattan District Attorney, which confirmed that Donald Trump is indeed being targeted for financial crimes and “protracted criminal conduct.” Now it appears the mainstream media is finally ready to dig into the story and tell us what those crimes are.

For instance, the New York Times is reporting tonight that the New York grand jury didn’t just subpoena Trump’s tax returns from his accounting firm; it also subpoenaed Trump’s bank records from Deutsche Bank. This was to be expected. But here’s the crucial part of the NYT report: Deutsche Bank complied with the subpoena awhile back and turned over Trump’s records, “including financial statements and other materials that Mr. Trump had provided to the bank as he sought loans.”

This suggests that New York prosecutors are zeroing in on Donald Trump’s mortgage fraud, which Michael Cohen alluded to during his public testimony last year. When you throw in the earlier widespread reports about Cohen having cooperated with New York prosecutors, it all starts to come together.

Again, the key takeaway here is that even as the New York grand jury still works its way through the final stages of obtaining Donald Trump’s tax returns from his accounting firm, the grand jury already has Trump’s mortgage papers and other financial records from the shady bank that helped Trump pull off his decades of financial fraud. Now more than ever, it’s abundantly clear that Trump is going to prison if he loses the election โ€“ and state charges can’t be pardoned by any President. We’re pleased to see that the mainstream media has finally caught up with Palmer Report on this one.
