It was good to see the Trump Group discovered responsible, on all counts, for felony enterprise practices.
However like all the time, Donald Trump and his kids will stroll away from this with no punishment.
The potential $1.6 mil tremendous is a farce. It's meaningless. His enterprise being flagged to potential lenders can also be meaningless.
Hopefully the day will come when Trump and his kids are held accountable.

Biden’s response to a query concerning the present border scenario is not any shock.
Members of this administration have been using such a “newspeak” since Biden’s first day in workplace.
Whereas the nation is coping with many points which have been exacerbated by the insurance policies of this president, his reply is all the time to try to shift the main target elsewhere —Nothing to see right here. He may as properly have simply mentioned, “Allow them to eat cake.”
