Imagine if Trump just kinda shrugged this stuff off after explaining it away effortlessly with evidence and suchlike. Now that would be news.
The Trump family paid this monitor $2.6 million, and she discovered tax fraud over some fake loan. And now they are angry.
This is deliciously hilarious.
“‘Javert’ like quest”, haha. Not gonna lie I’m surprised he’s able to make a *Les Mis* reference. Though there’s a solid chance it’s someone else tweeting on his account given the lack of all caps and proper spelling.
> The Trumps also fired back against Jones by recruiting their own certified public accountant to back up their claim that she’s got it all wrong…
> But that too might fail to convince the judge, because it came from Jason Flemmons, a CPA who lost credibility when testifying at the recent bank fraud trial. Justice Engoron tore into the accountant last month, noting how Flemmons had “inexplicably” contradicted himself several times and seemed willing to bend over backwards to appease the Trumps.
Trump’s lawyers are so bad at lawyering
Trump’s basic pattern is to fake outrage when caught. He taught that tp Kavanaugh during the SCOTUS confirmation. It works with most people because it is a human empathy response he play on.
It’s great that this nugget from a footnote is blowing up! Nice work to the folks who read it!
>But the apparent proof the Trumps cite for that claim does not confirm that the loan ever existed.
>The memo, an unsigned and vague “inter-office memorandum” sent by the “legal department” to “file” last month, describes an entirely different loan arrangement. The loan that Trump listed on his presidential financial disclosures was a $48 million loan from Trump’s “Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC” to Trump personally. But this memo now says the loan was from Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC to another entity, called “401 Mezz Venture LLC.” The memo also simply states that the loan is over and done with. It offers no other explanations about whatever happened to the $48 million.
Shocker.
*taps top of Trumps head*
This bad boy can fit so many indictments in it.
DonTheRapist’s usual response to bad news, *yawn*…
Doesn’t the monitor understand that the only way to stop finding shady shit is to stop looking for it? /s
Who knew? It turns out the “deep state” he constantly refers to is actually the U.S. justice system when it doesn’t work in his favor.
“Trumps Throw Tantrum Over ____________”
Fill in the blank with literally anything and it works.
So Trump is Jean Valjean? A sympathethic figure persecuted for trying to feed his family? Ok.
*“Further oversight is unwarranted and will only unjustly enrich the monitor as she engages in some ‘Javert’ like quest,” he wrote, making a reference to the fictional French law enforcement officer in Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, who’s defined by his obsessive pursuit and lack of empathy.*
This is really going to confuse the maga base – they think ***javert*** means “do you have air conditioning in your truck”
At what point is he going to be criminally charged instead of just sued?
Every tantrum is proof that *this* is the right path.
I guarantee that he didn’t write that. He has no idea who Javert is to make that reference.
It’s kind of funny that the focus of their complaint is that she’s only found “seven immaterial disclosure items, three irrelevant inconsistencies and five clerical errors” as if her job was to investigate fraud instead of actively watching their financials to try and *prevent* fraud. They demand that her monitorship end just as they’re about to likely receive a fine so large it can only be described as “fraud-encouragingly” large.
No, I think Judge Jones will stay right where she is for now.
Just thinking how much he screwed over everyone, and it probably would have stayed in the shadows if not for the presidency.
Is it wrong to steal a loaf of bread to feed your starving family?
But what if your family doesn’t like bread. They like millions of dollars?
I think there’s an expectation for Trump that anyone he pays will be willing to break the law for him.
Is this “fake loan” a money laundering scheme?
How this guy manages all this is beyond belief, makes me nauseous.
LOL
“…the Trumps responded over the weekend by tasking their own accountant as a monitor that monitors the court monitor.”
They get a trace buster, so nobody can trace their calls.
But they also get a trace buster *buster*, so the person trying to trace their calls can’t bust their trace buster with *another* trace buster.
And then later a mob guy gets a Trace buster buster *buster*.
It might not have been the greatest movie, I’m just saying it’s comparable to how shitty a criminal Trump is.
I work in financial reporting and read the report.
The other big red flag that screams fraud is that they are inconsistently reporting inter-company transactions to various stakeholders. The report doesn’t give enough information to know the true scale of it, but it does give every indication of fraud.
Inter-company transactions are a very common way to fraudulently misstate financial information.
The walls…. are closing in
What should worry everyone just as much is how long he (and you know others are as well) has gotten away with it. Had he never ran for president, he would’ve died without anyone being the wiser.

This reminds me of the [trace buster](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw3G80bplTg) bit in The Big Hit.
They get a trace buster, so nobody can trace their calls.
But they also get a trace buster *buster*, so the person trying to trace their calls can’t bust their trace buster with *another* trace buster.
