Cannot argue with that really.

The Republicans biggest problem now is that an awful lot of their politicians, organisers and State officials etc are simply dying of Covid-19

I go with a 2 but Mayo Joe has left the door open for Donny to go again in 2024. If the Republicans can delay the Jan 6 inquiry and they take the house as expected in November they can shut it down.

New York attorney-general claims ‘significant evidence’ of Trump fraud Court filing alleges former US president and his business misrepresented asset values for ‘economic benefit’ The New York attorney-general’s office is working in tandem with the Manhattan district attorney to investigate Donald Trump, the former US president, and the Trump Organization
New York attorney-general Letitia James has said she has found “significant evidence” that Donald Trump and the Trump Organization fraudulently misrepresented the value of their assets to banks, insurers and financial institutions, according to a court filing. James said she had not determined whether the evidence merited legal action but argued that the grounds for continuing her two-year investigation were “self-evident”. The filing seeks to compel the former president and two of his children, Donald Jr and Ivanka, to testify under oath — something they have so far resisted. “We have uncovered significant evidence that suggests Donald J Trump and the Trump Organization falsely and fraudulently valued multiple assets and misrepresented those values to financial institutions for economic benefit,” James said in a statement

He may be a bit caught. He over valued his buildings when he used them as collateral (defrauding the banks) and then under valued the same buildings when doing his taxes (defrauding the government). Both amounts might be fake (and probably are) but if he says that the bank values are true to get out of trouble with the state, he lands in the briar patch with the Feds and vice versa.

I would almost feel sorry for him if he wasn't such an utter piece of shit.
