Everything about the case in New York City against the Trump organization business operations is ridiculous. There are no victims. There was no fraud. All of the lenders did their own due diligence. All of the loans were paid back without issue and the statement of financial condition was factual and accurate. There were no defaults or banking interests adversely impacted. There are no victims of what the State calls “fraud.”

New York Attorney General Latisha James campaigned for office with promises to target the Trump Organization and Donald Trump himself. This is malicious lawfare in the extreme. Additionally, the statute being used as the predicate for the case is a consumer fraud statute, intended to protect borrowers from predatory lenders. In the four corners of this case, Trump is the borrower, and the banks were the lenders. New York is flipping the statute to claim the borrower defrauded the lenders, despite the lenders denying there was any fraud and there was no harm. The entire case is ridiculous.

Appearing on CNN, O’Leary Ventures Chairman Kevin O’Leary outlines to a perplexed Laura Coates why Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial in New York is political nonsense. WATCH (prompted):

The no victims thing is a weak argument

If I speed and don't cause an accident I'm still breaking traffic laws

Either his business committed fraud or it didn't. Whether or not someone was the victim of that is immaterial.

Powerbottom takes.

Maybe the next sheriff election will include a guy that says he will get powerbottom for something.

Think he’d be successful?

Tell me you don’t know business and are not a businessman without telling me you are not a businessman.

The envy leaks out of people like you and that reporter for someone who can build a business knowing you are too economically illiterate to do the same.

Suppose the police announced that they hate Powerman and we are going to get him one way or another. This announcement is notorious. They then catch you going 75 mph in a 70 mph zone. This is while others are traveling 90 mph or more and ignored. So Powerman's attorney points out that this is selective and vindictive prosecution. See link below for definition of selective and vindictive prosecution.

are you as passionately opposed to the state of New York freeing felons of drug charges basically on the grounds they're victimless crimes?

Hey idiot, that's not the point.

The POINT is that this is a targeted Political persecution poorly disguised as seeking justice.

God you suck at the Internet.

This is the price you pay when you organize an insurrection that has people trying to murder Mike Pence complete with gallows.

This is a case that is trying to turn valuation opinions into lies.

Opinions are not lies. Trump's people had one and the lender's people had one. They all did a comparison and came up with an agreeable conclusion.

good Lord she still didn't get it even after he explained it. She left that thinking all real estate developers are committing fraud.

Targeted prosecution. That’s what you are supporting.

Yeah. Let’s go that route. Hopefully you are next.

He needed to explain arms length negotiation to her, but I imagine she's too stupid to comprehend that one too.

Answer - there isn't one. It's a joke and the prosecutors should be penalized for bringing it.

The almost universal rule is that civil fraud requires reliance and actual damages.
