Agreed there are sentimental value to properties, but 1000% is extra ordinary.
Trump is not the only celebrity that buys and sell properties and his MAGA cult worshippers can never afford to lodge in any of his properties not to talk of buying on, as most are poor disgruntled semi educated blue colour workers.

Besides, that does not explain the over exaggeration of the living spaces.
I have been talking about sentimental value of a property or rather the brand name behind it. You accuse Trump supporters of being poor and cannot afford a good life. This kind of reasoning is childish and dishonest at best.. Thats how Hitler started demonizing particular races and to him they were expendable. You can see Joe Biden calling MAGA supporters who come waving patriotic flags as the worst Domestic Violence extremists.

Maybe its due to lack of exposure that you uttered so Or its because they did not vote for Obama or maybe you never ever bought any property besides a jalopy. A simple case. If Christian Ronaldo and Samuel Eto’o sold their Buggatis which would fetch a higher price ?

---The House had passed H.R. 8873, the Presidential Election Reform Act — Reps. Cheney and Lofgren's bill to reform the Electoral Count Act — 229-203---just nine Republicans joined all Democrats to support legislation that would prevent future coups---this indicates just how bad GOPs have become they sold their souls to Trump for '30 pieces of silver'---no moral compass---

The alternate electors were provided in law hence are lawful. Calling it a coup only makes you sound ignorant.

So, GSA officials took undeclassified documents to dump's house without him first checking whether they were declassified or not?

Those GSA officials must have been hired by Obama then, to stitch dump up, so I guess he has a defence. I just wonder why he hasn't said so yet, and is instead claiming he declassified them in his head.

Is it because he has not yet hired you to be his lawyer, I wonder.
Let's see what happens.All I know is that the Biden admin is corrupt to the core, Is deathly afraid of Trump running in 2024 and will do anything to stop that
Whether it's allowing aliens to vote, Joe admin will do that

As for Trump He has been treated horribly by even his fellow GOPe.
The message is that no outsider should dare try to crash into the DC party

You are the only one who does not know. Most of us know that when you declassify classified documents, the least you'd do is erase or cross out "CLASSIFIED" and replace it with DECLASSIFIED. In fact, you can very simply just add "DE" in front of the "CLASSIFIED" and say you declassified, though the actual process is more elaborate than all that as I've presented for you to read already.

Now, show us the document and let's check if the "DE" is there please.
Playing smart. Did Trump go through all those boxes when they were being packed.I read that GSA officials loaded up the documents

Lol. You do understand the NY AG's office looks over probably the center of the World's finance system (Wall St). So she probably has some of the TOP appraisers at her disposal in order to hold BIG NY firms accountable. One clear instance: He listed his apartment at 30,000 sq ft. It was only 10,000 sq ft. Sq footage is not a subjective valuation. And then said his house was worth 300 million. No apartment in NY has ever sold for close to that much in that time frame. I think the most was 100million.
I've listened to Trump many years ago bragging how his name alone is worth $$$.
I've seen many building valuations, from the Quantity Surveyor to the Land Economists. The actual cost of a similar building is factored in, next the current cost to put up a similar building, then the recent land prices in the surrounding areas.
Add in Sentimental values which braggadocio Trump claims.
About the size of his apartment I leave that to him to explain.At this point I believe it's a witchunt

I ask a very simple question. If the Trump Tower is renamed Joe Biden tower would it's value change?

---Trump is so highly intelligent that he used---Secret Telepathic Unilateral Preemptive Irreversible Declassification (S.T.U.P.I.D.) defense to declassify the documents---
Just asking . Trump tasked Bill Barr to declass documents relating to Spygate and Clinton Email Espionage. What we dont know is whether those documents that he took away were documents that Barr gave him as already declassified.
Right now he is not on good terms with Barr ( Trump has a temper tantrum I know which is not good) so it depends on Bill Barr

---in all of Trump's outstanding cases this is the one he's got the most difficulty of digging himself out of---It's very straightforward to prove that an asset has been deliberately overvalued and misrepresented--- it's not the difference of opinion that his defence relies on for everything else---this particular case started when Michael Cohen, was indicted---
How does one determine its over valued? A ptoperty next to a mine can be very expensive compared to another similar property ,
The AG is has become an appraiser? She knows nothing about it. Namks did their due diligence loanedhim money which he repaid. Who is this Letitia to be complaining

1. You’re providing links regarding criminal proceedings.
2. My dog is too intelligent to read Fox News.

It’s clear that
1. You don’t know the difference between criminal and civil
And
2. You know little to nothing about neither criminal nor civil proceedings including jury selection
Lets say I do not know. When NY sues the defedants (Trump ++) they will be the plaintiffs and the Jury gets to return a verdict .
\when all media is biased llike I am listening to ABC they been on that case . dont you think these comments and coverage by the media will not affect jurors; During jury selection they will all say they will be fair.
Rocket sciene.

Two Examples here

https://www.politico.com/states/new-jersey/story/2017/08/31/menendez-lawyer-says-prosecutors-document-could-taint-jury-pool-114237
An attorney for U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez on Wednesday slammed federal prosecutors for submitting a trial brief for his upcoming corruption trial, saying it appears to have been written to generate publicity, and could taint potential jurors.

Attorneys for the parents of accused Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumbley claim that Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald is tainting the jury pool by holding press conferences and sending out press releases regarding the ways James and Jennifer Crumbley parented their son.

Do you fully understand the role of a state AG? Do you understand the difference between civil and criminal?
I understand. In other juridisctions her tone would be hostile. Any memner of a jury who listened to her would ( if they were as dumb as you are ) have the notion that Trump is guilty.

The whole point of this I think she wants to swueexe an indictment of sorts so that he does not run in 2024 Besides destroying him financially
Which will backfire

I’ve read your reply several times yet I still don’t understand what you’re trying to say. She held an actual press conference, maybe that’s why she sounded like she was giving one.
Others understand.
She is sort of passing a Guilty verdict before there is any trial underway. Using irrevelant phrases 'Art of the Steal" "The Fraudulent Statements of Financial Condition" etc

You must remove TDS to see that her whole speech was completely negative. In say a murder case police usually use suspect not murderer

Mumu, banks value your property by the documents you show them... they do their own appraisal to value the property so they can know the kind of loan to issue out.

try to keep up.

If Toyota sells a car for 5k, a dealer can sell it to me for 10 and give me the documents for it. me taking the document to the bank is not enough. they will do their own research to know how much the car is valued. they can find out if it is valued at 5k or less. so what you present is not taken at face value.
Same thing to insurance companies. They inspect vehicles or properties before handing out the policy. How stuopid were these companies to not do their due diligence. What hurts L James I think is that he is not in default.
Tioo bad these people are too deranged and cannot think there is some injustice being perpetrated.

Are you kidding or are do you actually believe that he went to the banks with only his word to back him up? The documents turned over by his long time accounting firm (before they jumped ship) contain everything down to his falsified documents. It’s a known fact that they will cooperate in order to avoid any legal woes.
Banks have their own appraisers . They will never give you a loan without them evaluating the value of security offered.
Thats too hard for you to understand.
Trump buildings were appraised then he added a Premium based on his brand value , which is never constant . To explain when he is going through a divorce the brand vaue drops, When he hosting Mike Tyson fight in his former Taj Mahal casino his brand value goes up.
These prosecutors just wasted three years

I highly doubt you have any legal knowledge

The company that certifies the Dominion machines was the one that looked at the voting machines and declared them clean. Notice the conflict of interest.
Of course you harbour hatred for anything Trump and a see no evil hear no evil talk no evil attitude for Joe Biden.

Speaking of which the house democrats just yesterday voted down a request to examine Hunter Biden business dealings contained in his laptop from hell. FBI has had it for years and Cris Wray could not even admit they have it in a House Committee hearing.

We been there . Settle a case to prevent further harrassment. When you have an attorney billing you by the hour,you paying for his accomodation if he is from another state in an expensive hotel , you can easily go bankrupt if you do not have deep pockets.
Many DAs and Prosecutors use the threat of bankrupting someone so that you take a plea deal , which adds to the prosecutors wonderful or rather successful conviction rates. Prosecutors are after having a 100% conviction record which aids in their vertical mobility within the justice system
Pretty lousy I must say.

You are correct. Now that the case will go to court , the defendants will get a chance to question. Before its been subpoenas and you cannot ask anything, if you lie thats a criminal charge.
