Trump Legal Thread 1/
Today we learned New York state AG Attorney General has joined Manhattan DA District Attorney in making the financial investigation of Trump Org into a criminal case. This is very bad news for Trump, but past week has had bad developments in THREE cases.. pic.twitter.com/XG5Gmg4r56

We are looking at New York STATE crimes.
The Manhattan DA case is Trump tax fraud, worth about 225 million dollars. Involved Deutsche Bank records and Trump tax filings. Trump tried to block these documents, took case to SCOTUS, lost there TWICE (unanimous verdict). Case already WAS criminal
NY state Attorney General deals with the RICO cases, racketeering. Mafia. Conspiracy. Money laundering on an industrial scale. This is a SEPARATE crime that Trump engaged in.
The INTERNATIONAL sanctions-busting that Trump did, in taking PUTIN money and laundering that, makes this now ALSO a FEDERAL crime of international sanctions bypassing. THAT adds ANOTHER decade to Trump’s (and Weisselberg’s) sentences
and on and on and on!
