No. And calls for prosecution aren’t going to be answered. Stewart did nothing wrong. The hypocrisy is what I find to be the issue. Stewart, days ago, claimed Trump deserved the judgment against him because his value was magnitudes higher than the true value (the assessed value). Stewart knows that is a bullshite statement. Especially since he sold a place at 800 plus percent over its assessed value.

Trump should not have been persecuted in the civil court, and Stewart knows it. But the hypocrisy allows Stewart and the lefties in here to make the distinction between the two transactions. That isn’t the point. The point is that anyone using the assessed value as the reasoning the persecution of Trump was justified is either intentionally dishonest or incredibly ignorant.

Now…if it comes out Stewart didn’t pay cash for that property and applied for a loan with an appraised value over the assessed value….that would be on point.
Nice to see you were convinced by reason. Your post nicely summarizes my exact opinion - the one I was trying to convince you of earlier in the week.

If what Trump did was wrong, then what Stewart did was worse. Stewart actually has a victim: the purchaser who overpaid.

Yeah, where's the equal justice here? This loudmouth leftist a-hole criticizes Trump for doing what he did, too.
Maybe Latitia "the Creature" should start looking into all the high fedooty citizens of New York....and then put a bullet to her fat head!

I do not think that, as I have stated multiple times in this thread. I do think he supplied false information to tax commissions attempting to affect their valuations of his properties.

I read his Twitter, when people were bashing him he deflected and said “oh no, maybe I should bankrupt casinos and assault women and I’ll be like Trump” or something like that.

Stewart was always left but used to be a reasonable lib. But unlike Bill Maher, who has kept his viewpoints the same for 20 years, Jon Stewart moved with the herd. Maher is a conservative compared to him.

Please list these verifiable fraudulent statements Trump made that the banks have said they used to discount his rates and fees and if they hadn't been duped by Trump they would've loaned to him at higher rates.

what a cop out. Cute the specific portion of the ruling you think proves he committed fraud with his valuations to the department of taxation.

And the local agency collecting property taxes could be a victim too, but you can’t play victim when the government sets the value of the property to be taxed or fails to increase the value as the asset appreciates in value.

I don't think it is part of that opinion, as that wasn't the question I was responding to.

I read it over a month ago. I'm not reading it again for you. If you care that much, knock yourself out.

The simple point is, whether the factual findings were correct or not, Trump has been found liable for actions not even remotely the same as Stewart selling his home for a high price.
