I haven't looked through all the particulars of the case, but a cursory glance seems to indicate..........(gasp!) lies and deceit on the part of Trump. Shocking, isn't it. I hope they hang the Trump Crime Family from the tallest tree in Washington.

(58,785 posts)There were 3 major cases, one under racketeering laws, and apparently all 3 settled for $25 million.
And Eisen says that was peanuts compared to this?!
Btw, have to agree with the below. When someone here asked for one virtue I was unable to think of a thing, but I am often grateful for Trump's incompetence and fearful of who they will try to have follow him.
