Trump Fumes As New York Inquiry Turns Criminal – Do You Support the Probe?
Do you support or oppose NY's criminal probe into the Trump Org?
What's the story?
- Former President Donald Trump has lashed out after the New York attorney general said her investigation into the Trump Organisation has been expanding from a civil to a criminal probe.
- “We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the company is no longer purely civil in nature,” Fabien Levy, a spokesperson for Attorney General Letitia James, said in a statement Tuesday.
- “We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA."
- The AG's statement did not say what expanded the inquiry to a criminal probe, or whether Trump might be personally implicated in any allegations.
- Trump responded on Wednesday that James was "in desperate search of a crime" and accused the AG and District Attorney Cyrus Vance of being "possessed" by their Democratic political vendettas.
- "After prosecutorial efforts the likes of which nobody has ever seen before, they failed to stop me in Washington, so they turned it over to New York to do their dirty work. This is what I have been going through for years," Trump said in a statement.
- James has been scrutinizing the ex-president's financial dealings before he took office.
- Vance’s office has not announced what it's investigating - citing grand jury secrecy rules - though some details emerged during protracted court battles to gain access to Trump's tax records: legal filings cited newspaper articles about alleged bank and insurance fraud at the Trump Organization.

Yes, nobody is above the law or at least they shouldn't be. Having two standards of/for justice those that can afford it and those that cannot or nefarious cronyism is the defamation of justice itself. Leading to the ever furthering gap of institutional injustice or the perceptions of such. A blindfold with one eye uncovered or peaking or cheating which in fact is not prudence or prudent for any. Pardon my skepticism.
We can’t heal unless that criminal is held accountable.
If you support a probe of President Trump why don’t you support a probe into Joey Biden? The criminal activity has been going on for decades by him and his family. It’s in plain site if you look but you hypocrites won’t acknowledge that
This insect historically shows and a mini penis and brutal hatred crimes as well as January 6, 2021 forever etched in our memories as this at other evil acts Mississippi burning and Jonestown all hate supremacy groups all levels as well as voter suppression is the other end game or way of controlling people and cities of color, yes act an way of trying to justify by any lawmaker or legislative should be abolished gun control needs to be connected now not later now is the time our nation is the only nation that surpasses and exceeds any other nation in this world…..There must be commonsense laws strengthened heart to the core that there will never ever be evil such as VTA, what happened in LA today, Washington DC insurrection January 6, 2021 They should not be up for debate that should not be a question that should be an act it has a national and international law as well all United Nations should adopt us as well.
If he wasn’t guilty of anything then why is he so adamantly opposed to it?
@PattiZ, where were you when Trump was spending a bloody fortune every weekend at HIS OWN RESORTS playing golf and charging the Secret Service max prices for food, rooms and even golf carts to keep him safe? Where were you when the Secret Service budget got blown up again and again by the Trump spawn taking their families on expensive vacations and traveling the world? Where were you when taxpayer dollars were covering first class travel for bureaucrats, sometimes even just to fly home? Or multi-thousand dollar remodels of offices, with fancy furniture and high tech security features that were not necessary for the job being done? If you were howling then about our tax dollars being misspent, good for you! If not, then you need to rethink your complaints about how your tax dollars are being spent now. And just for the record, the whole Hunter Biden thing is a shiny cat toy made up for you by Hair Twitler to keep you from noticing other more nefarious things that were really happening.
“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime” was Beria’s infamous boast. He served as deputy premier from 1941 until Stalin’s death in 1953, supervising the expansion of the gulags and other secret detention facilities for political prisoners. He became part of a post-Stalin, short-lived ruling troika until he was executed for treason after Nikita Khrushchev’s coup d’etat in 1953.
It’s time to provide justice.
It is about time Trump is held accountable for his actions and cannot buy his way out. These people like Trump hold a large amount of power and they should be held accountable by the law. They are also citizens of this country and the laws apply to them too. Trump has lived a life without consequences and it shows. I truly hope the system is just and he serves time for the endless crimes he's done.
I am watching Mrs. Sicknick at the Capitol Building wanting to talk to the people who work their about why they won't help her son, who died for his country on Jan.6th., 2021 when it was attacked by our own American people who were goaded by President Trump to fight for the last election. Jesus, Joseph and Mary! How can you let this women night have her rights for answers and justice. Our family has had enough! This was the worst attack (forced on by the non-elected President). She deserves and answers and respect. I am a mother! Give Mrs. Sicknick, who recently buried her son, the opportunity to find out what happened. What are you three and Mitch McConnell afraid off. So far, you have only shown that the GOP is full of gutless wonders. I am ashamed of you all. Give us the 10 Republicans needed for Mrs. Sicknick have justice or lose your jobs!!!!
Just everyone take a Deep breath and sit Back to Watch the next couple of installments on the Presidency and the Voters ReCount. Grab a cold brew and watch the Fireworks ✨😂✨😎✨💥✨ No it’s not the 4th of July, Yet. 🇺🇸💥🇺🇸
Four decades later, talk about NYC coming late to the probe party. This narcissistic sociopath has reigned corruption and terror in Jersey and NY for decades. Talk about white privilege. The GQP was ripe and waiting for this demagogue to come along and further their fascist agenda. The Heritage, Federalist Societies along with the Koch, Prince, Mercer families just to name a few needed a puppet but this one wasn’t so easily controlled. The white suprematists and fascists are steam rolling ahead. America needs a skillful surgeon to cut out this cancer. Hope there are enough Dems with the balls to recognize we’re at war and put on the armor for this battle for our Democracy
Honestly, I’m surprised these investigations are taking so long. It seems New York State should have had ample opportunity to charge Trump with crimes for the last four decades.
I support a criminal probe right to Donald Trump because he is one of those nations biggest criminals. He is emblematic problem of the republican party. Take a look at Marjorie Taylor Cyclops Greene - Another complete Republican sociopaths born I was trumps garbage. The Republican party is a complete disaster it needs to be totally dismantled get rid of the losers that run it like Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell and Devon Nunez etc. etc. etc. and start over there all losers they’re all idiots and they’re all nothing but bootlickers can do nothings.
Trump should NOT be above the law! ✊🏻
The Trump family has repeatedly completed illegal acts in their term of office. I thought something should have been done in the first year. You, the GOP, cow-toed to this behavior. It is time for you to make the Trump family own-up to their improper behaviors and rule-breaking. No President has ever done more wrong than Trump. Do your homework and show the world American President's are not allowed to break American laws.
Trump has always taken advantage of anyone and everyone he can using any means he can. Legal or illegal it’s never mattered to him or Howe harmful it is. It’s high time he paid the piper for his numerous misdeeds.
In my opinion, most of what the X-president has done is at least borderline criminal and I absolutely approve of the criminal investigation. When he first starting getting into trouble, he guilt tripped the Republican party into helping him when people demanded accountability. And then there was his brainwashing. I saw one segment of a rally where he kept repeating that Mexico would pay for the wall .... and then asked the audience to repeat him. Afterward, they truly believed Mexico would pay for the wall. It's a form of brainwashing that makes lies seem true to the victim. Sooner or later, the lies held in the twisted minds of the brainwashed people will reveal themselves but while believed, they are "true" in the victims' minds. In the meantime, there are immoral and illegal business methods that can make people extremely wealthy if they are willing to break the laws of our country and an investigation needs to be made when that happens.
Lock him up!
There is no witch hunt. Everybody knows who the ‘witch’ is. The witch has identified himself by his words and deeds. This is more of a collection of facts to document the wanton ‘Witchery’ so that a proper sentence can be assessed which assures that no one, no matter how self-entitled, well-marketed, misleading or shifty - that no-one is above the law and someone who breaks the law is treated the same way as anyone else who breaks the law. There is more than enough evidence of due cause to conduct these investigations - a requirement of our legal system so that investigations cannot be launched based on innuendo, alternate facts or allegations with no supporting evidence that some crime may have been committed. This is why the 300 plus Republican post election fraud cases were all unceremoniously thrown out of every court, and why the justification for new highly restrictive voting laws are bogus.
