He has hardly said a word about Ukraine, probably because <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52186\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">he has no friggin&#8217; idea what to do about it<\/a><\/strong>. So instead, he persists in ranting repeatedly about the nonexistent voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election and the civil and criminal investigations into his countless crimes.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday morning Trump released statements with links to articles that he apparently thinks absolve him of liability for the financial corruption of his failing real estate enterprise. But he totally misunderstood what he read, or more likely, had read to him. Both articles dealt with the recent resignation of two prosecutors from the office of the New York County District Attorney. And both contain extensive affirmation of Trump&#8217;s guilt. To be sure, the resignations were a disappointment to people who want to see Trump held to account for his wrongdoing. But Trump&#8217;s take on the matter is pitifully mistaken.<\/p>\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realLizUSA\/status\/1500278209409134592\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">first tweet<\/a> Trump linked to a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10581293\/How-woke-Manhattan-DA-Alvin-Bragg-axed-predecessors-rushed-probe-Donald-Trumps-finances.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Daily Mail<\/em> article<\/a><\/strong> about the DA&#8217;s reluctance to file an indictment. But what Trump ignored in the article is that the prosecutors who resigned did so to <em>&#8220;disassociate&#8221;<\/em> from the decision because <em>&#8220;it was on the wrong side of history.&#8221;<\/em> Furthermore, the article notes that, despite the resignations, <em>&#8220;The investigation is ongoing.&#8221;<\/em> So it is hardly a vindication.<\/p>\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realLizUSA\/status\/1500320668491128834\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">second tweet<\/a> Trump gloms on to a question in the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/03\/05\/nyregion\/trump-investigation-manhattan-da-alvin-bragg.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>New York Times<\/em> article<\/a><\/strong> asking <em>\u201cWhich laws had Mr. Trump broken?\u201d<\/em> He answers it himself saying <em>&#8220;The crime of &#8230; making his lenders &#8216;more&#8217; money.&#8221;<\/em> Then he calls the probe <em>&#8220;Sick!&#8221;<\/em> However, his crime has nothing to do with whether the banks he defrauded made any profit. It has to do with the fact that he committed fraud in order to secure the loans. The prosecutor described it as <em>\u201ca righteous case that ought to be brought.\u201d<\/em> Trump&#8217;s tweet quoted from the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;For months, the prosecutors had envisioned charging Mr. Trump \u2014 and possibly Mr. Weisselberg and the Trump Organization \u2014 with the crime of &#8216;scheming to defraud&#8217; for falsely inflating his assets on the statements of financial condition that had been used to obtain bank loans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But by the end of the year, the prosecutors had switched gears, in part because Mr. Trump\u2019s lenders had not lost money on the loans but had in fact profited from them. The new strategy was to charge Mr. Trump with conspiracy and falsifying business records \u2014 specifically his financial statements \u2014 a simpler case that essentially amounted to painting Mr. Trump as a liar rather than a thief.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apparently Trump thinks that being charged with lying rather than stealing is some kind of exoneration. But he&#8217;s even got that wrong. Let&#8217;s look at what the article is saying. The DA&#8217;s charge changed from <em>&#8220;&#8216;scheming to defraud&#8217; for falsely inflating his assets,&#8221;<\/em> to <em>&#8220;conspiracy and falsifying business records.&#8221;<\/em> That&#8217;s a distinction without a difference. Or very little difference. And both are serious felonies for both lying and stealing.<\/p>\n<p>So Trump is celebrating these articles that unambiguously affirm that he&#8217;s guilty of fraud and\/or conspiracy to commit fraud. This is further evidence of his staggering stupidity. Yet he is so shamelessly boasting about this imaginary absolution that he&#8217;s forgotten that he is still under investigation by this DA in Manhattan, as well as the New York Attorney General, the U.S. Attorney in D.C., and the District Attorney of Fulton County, Georgia. That&#8217;s a pretty sorry statement about both his legal and mental condition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
