For Trump supporters here, if Trump was caught selling the classified documents he stole, would that change your support for him?

If you believe that public opinion is "useless," then you obviously don't understand how ELECTIONS WORK.

$BILLIONS are spent to sway public opinion. Too bad Trump can't compete.

Without the political indictments Trump may not of won in the primaries.

IF you were paying attention, you'd know the answer to your question was provided by the prosecutor.

Quote

They also disputed the notion that there were no victims, saying Trump's bankers were harmed because they could have charged higher interest on loans if they knew his true net worth was lower than he claimed.

IINM, they've ALSO SAID the taxpayers were harmed by tax fraud due to fraudulent property valuations.

Trump has been a financial fraud for decades

Everyone is harmed when FRAUD becomes normalized. It's throwing a monkey wrench into the machinery of commerce.

As is the FACT that you're defending BANK FRAUD. Do you LIE on your loan applications, too?

Tell us who the affected parties are. The law requires that there be parties affected by the fraud. How were they affected?

You're thinking of criminal fraud. This is 'civil fraud' which isn't really fraud at all.  ITs a fineable offense with a very low burden of 'proof'.

The reason they don't need an 'affected party' is that when the law was crafted it was to allow the state to go after people who were genuinely lying to get money even if they paid the money back when they got caught in order to prevent scumbags from using that as a defense. Or if they TRIED to trick the bank they could be pursued even if the bank caught on before they completed the deal.

They've twisted that out of shape here.  The banks were always satisfied that the loans were sufficently covered. They still are. The loans were paid back as per the agreement.  The banks were given every right to verify the info - they really didn't care. The nature of the misinformation was not really relevant as it's such  a unique property it's value can't really be estimated like that

The banks have made it clear that had they know the true numbers nothing would have changed and they'd have leant the same money at the same rates.

SO to claim that trump made his fortune based on these lies is ridiculous. But that is the basis for this fine. It's a witch hunt.

The prosecutor told you. Can you read?

The FACT is, the judge ruled and convicted. Your OPINION does NOT MATTER.

However, Trump may use your argument in his appeal, and will probably LOSE there, too.

Some agree no parties affected. The banks did their due diligence loaned the money and were repayed. Leftists have raped the justice system.

Trump is NOT a "leftist" even though he WAS for many years.

The FACT is Trump declared bankruptcy 6 times and left creditors HOLDING THE BAG. 

IOW, what you bought is Trump's LIES.

Before I answer your question, can you please provide the evidence that Trump did sell classified documents?

Is that actually among the 90 plus charges that the deep state has thrown against him?

ohh - so this is pumishment for THAT then.  You're saying that to punish him for being a bad person elsewhere they're twisting a law to get him here. 

So it was a witch-hunt after all.  Well at least we agree on that.

It is hypothetical and I never said otherwise.

However Trump is now desperate for cash, so if he held onto any of those documents, he will likely be MORE tempted to sell them NOW.

The reason I asked is to find out just how brainwashed the MAGA CULT is here. Turns out they are too embarrassed to answer a simple question.

Its an honest question...

I think we all know the answer. He's already sold out American interested for personal benefit--more than once. None of them even blinked when he tried to illegally withhold military aid in exchange for campaign favors.

Well, unlike selling classified info which everyone knows is illegal and very damaging to national security, a lot of people don't know that using official power for campaign advantage is illegal.

It used to be that Congressmen would not even use their office phones to make campaign related phone calls and had to find another facility, but Trump has so thoroughly trashed ethical boundaries, none of them seem to matter anymore.

It used to be the GOP had Ethics and followed them scrupulously but that seemed to end when the Tea Party showed up and began the first vote to overturn Obamacare...which still is so strong in the country that many GOP support it knowing how badly their constituents actually need it running smack into their colleagues who are living on grants from those big companies who used to rake in billions almost unchecked from insurers and the uninsured in unneeded medical "unnecessary tests and treatments" they billed and sent almost bummed I agent to Collections Agent a who jacked up the costs by 4-5 times the original amount, filing liens against baby honest settlements grid true injuries and filing thousands of fake claims on regular people and insured people and it other companies.
