Trump Org Execs Must Testify

[ll74]

Judge rules that they must testify within 21 days, which means probably closer to three monts after appeals.

All Trump will do is plead the 5th....

From your link below:

"Another Trump son, Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization’s finance chief Allen Weisselberg, have previously sat for depositions in the civil investigation — and invoked their Fifth Amendment rights hundreds of times when they were questioned by investigators in 2020."

Just like Eric did.......

What was it Trump said about people pleading the 5th....any RWCJ care to remind me?

 

[BluesDriver66]

It's a civil case which means pleading the 5th is useless and will considered an attempt to conceal evidence from the court and a tacit admission of guilt. Refusing to testify in a civil case is not a protected Constitutional right.

Watch the GOP disintegrate.

It's like 50/50 with republicans. Half of them want him to run, half don't.

He's not the lynchpin of the Republican party. He's just a guy who drives the Left crazy and lots of Republicans think that's funny.

Trump is the avatar of the Tea Party wing. When he goes, it's free-for-all between them and the Old Guard.

It is, if your testimony would incriminate you.

Republicans think it's funny to support a con man, circus clown in a responsible position of power to trigger the libs. You'd expect this kind of selfish and short sighted behavior from poorly raised children. Not from adults.

False. Refusing to testify is an admission of guilt. There is no presumption of innocence in civil cases.

 

[pecksniff]

False. Refusing to testify is an admission of guilt. There is no presumption of innocence in civil cases.

But the privilege against self-incrimination still applies. Innocent and guilt in a criminal sense is simply not at issue in civil cases -- but any evidence developed in one could be used in a criminal case. Not that simple, of course, the evidence would have to be developed again in a different manner -- but, a criminal indictment could be grounded in civil-suit testimony.

You have the privilege to plead insanity when charged for robbing a bank to pay off your gambling debts but it's just as meaningless.

The 5th is being used to cover their asses for future criminal prosecutions. I doubt that will work for them there either. These are crimes with long and extensive documented paper trails. Requesting testimony is merely perfunctory and a tactic to sweat the defendants.

Republicans think this is funny, and they're right. This is what he's turned you all into.

When the President United States is an obvious lying con man and
the kind of person so fucking stupid he doesn't even know when he's being mocked by his own staff some people react emotionally.

[IBig man, pig man
Ha ha, charade you are

Well heeled big wheel
Ha ha, charade you are

And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker

With your head down in the pig bin
Saying, "Keep on digging"
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find?
Down in the pig mine

You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry[/I]

I think the question is whether Trumpettes like you would become decent human beings, at least in public, if Trump, who gives you license to be pond scum disappeared.

all this impotent gibber-gabber because the heat under your orange homeboy's ass just got turned up high enough to not ignore anymore.

You failing to acknowledge that he's the leader of the Republican party isn't our issue.

One only needs to look at republican primaries throughout the country.

Sorry you don't like the current events of a major party's leader.

This may have started out as a civil case but when the judge mentioned "copious evidence of incidents of fraud" then things are liable to change from civil to criminal. The case is the least of Trump's worries right now. Since the accounting firm Mazar's quit as Trump's accountants and issued their statement about his financial statements then Trump has to worry about all of the financial institutions that loaned him money recalling his debt due now. He may even lose his lease where the Trump hotel is located as his lease is based on his financial statements he gave the US government who holds the lease.

 

[ll74]

Eric has asked his lawyer whether he should plead the sixth this time because he used up all his fifths last time.

The main man's response is funny

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-no-favors-odd-claims-finances-rcna16689

Talking about his "finances" today and using data from 2014.....which is also incorrect.

Yah, banks should be recalling their money now. It makes no sense to keep someone whose own accounting firm has abandoned on the books without some sort of new agreement at the very least ...cya cya cya

We will celebrate when Trump is disgraced and goes to prison. Then we will live happily ever after.

I seriously doubt that.

I don't think you'll be able to let go. He is the center of your world now.

Ummm... "Guilt" and "innocence" are not terms used in civil cases. You should get your money back from Joe's Lube and Law School.

Yet another, "We Got Him Now," thread.

Let me remind you that for those of us who know that Hillary is a criminal enterprise,

we had a myriad of "They've got her now," moments and here she is making candidate noises again...
