The writing is on the wall for Donald Trump in New York
With so much buzz lately about the Fulton County criminal case against Donald Trump, the January 6th Committee probe into Trump, and even the National Archives probe into Trump, it’s easy to forget that the Manhattan District Attorney’s criminal probe into Trump has always been the one that was most certain to take him down. It’s just that there hasn’t been much reporting out of that case of late. But as we like to remind everyone, media leaks rarely correlate to actual progress behind the scenes.
Now we are in fact getting some news out of the Manhattan case against Trump, and let’s just say that it’s not good for him. It turns out the Manhattan DA’s office has amassed several financial documents which not only contain fraudulent false claims about the value of Trump’s assets, but also bear his personal handwriting. This is going to make it impossible for Trump to mount a reasonable doubt defense by simply claiming that someone else in the Trump Organization created the fraudulent documents, and that he’d never even seen them.
Keep in mind that while the New York Attorney General is leading a civil case against the Trump Organization, the Manhattan District Attorney is leading a criminal case against Donald Trump. Criminal cases send people to prison. In fact this is the criminal case that’s already resulted in the arrest of Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg, who’s now awaiting criminal trial. For Donald Trump, the writing is on the wall – or on the documents.
