Having been found guilty of bank and tax fraud and fined $355 million by New York Judge Arthur Engoron, things could be about to take an even nastier turn for failed one-term president Donald Trump and his two oldest sons, Don Jr. and Eric, according to a former prosecutor.
After Engoron’s ruling, according to NBC News, New York Attorney General Letitia James issued a statement.
“Donald Trump is finally facing accountability for his lying, cheating, and staggering fraud. Because no matter how big, rich, or powerful you think you are, no one is above the law,” James said in a statement, calling the ruling “a tremendous victory for this state, this nation, and for everyone who believes that we all must play by the same rules — even former presidents.”
The Friday ruling could also serve as the basis for new legal problems for Trump and the Trump Organization.
Legal analyst Catherine Christian told MSNBC host Ali Velshi that AG James has made it clear she will be passing along the findings that served as the basis for her case to the U.S. Department of Justice.
“If now the federal government, the Southern District of New York sort of passed on this publicly, but that does not mean that they can’t, as long as it’s within the statute of limitations take another look,” Christian explained.
“And clearly, the federal government, the Internal Revenue Service, they sort of never stop looking at you, and so yes, the AG’s office referred to it to other authorities, and it could be possible that each of the defendants, not just Donald Trump, his sons, [Allen] Weisselberg could be in legal jeopardy, even criminal jeopardy.”
If Donnie thought he had a bad day in court on Friday, just wait until the IRS starts seizing his bank accounts and properties to pay any taxes and penalties. By the time they’re finished with him, he won’t have a proverbial pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of.

He and his followers are the most dangerous group of people to come along since the Nazi Party. The Dem;s need to get smarter and finally get rid of this buffoon before the end of Democracy is upon us.
Dem leaders only have as much power as Dem voters give them. Tens of millions of liberals and Democrats always come up with the most idiotic reasons possible not to vote for their own interests and agenda, and then spend all of their time BETWEEN elections complaining that Republikkkans foreseeably are abusing the power that was handed to them.
We voters either destroy the Retrumplican party in November, or they finish destroying our country and us. Which will it be?
