Let's talk about Trump companies being found guilty....


Now we know why Trump was upset enough to say that there should be a new election, a redux with GOP states Trump lost being allowed to resubmit and setting the Jan 20 date aside. He knew this was coming (and the 11th Circuit result had already dropped).  

The NYS $250M number is the low estimate. The real number will be higher or lower, depending on what Trump creditors can get their hands on as part of the case and how much the Trump family assets are really worth. I would say the stated value is over $250M, but the market value post-trial may be much less - even prior to distribution.  This should be fun.

The one thing that likely will not be included is prosecution for Trump laundering Oligarch money through DB. Statute of limitations has likely expired, but it will be part of the story that Jack Smith presents when talking about the Mar O Lago documents, the Insurrection and the actual crimes committed for which the Ukraine Impeachment occurred. 

The latter case is still active. Rudy will not be prosecuted as an unregistered foreign agent. The question is whether he was a GRU asset instead. Follow the money. You can see the trail if you read both the indictments of Lev and Igor and what Lev had to stipulate to as far as getting money from Russia through his wife in order to get bail.

The more important money question is what Trump's PAC did with the money Lev and Igor donated to it. Did it all go to enrich the Trump businesses or did some of it make its way into the campaigns of R. Congressmen who cooperated in planning January 6th or voted with those who did on January 7th?
