there s nothing in the law that says you can t have parallel things going against you. and the fact that you might have criminal liability doesn t somehow insulate you from other ways you can be held accountable. honestly, when you see this and that he made similar arguments when he was president about his accounting firm. he lost those even with a conservative court, it does feel like this man, donald trump, seems to think this the rules that apply to everybody else don t apply to him. and now that he s a private citizen, it s not flying. it didn t fly when he s president, at least with judges, and it s not going to fly when he s a private citizen. william. what about ivanka and don jr.? what kind of questions do you think investigators will ask and do you expect trump s kids to tell the truth? obviously eric took the fifth
if they discover now what they were given is wrong they would say don t rely on those and that s what attorney general james is doing for the last two years is going point by point line by line through those things trying to figure out can i drill down to a concrete fact here that proves this was wrong? barbara, can you pull the thread forward for us? if he has to sit for the a deposition and ivanka and don jr., what is the sanction, the accountability to face if all this is proven? if they can prove fraud then this is a civil case that the attorney general can bring. so the consequences there could be money damages. if there are back taxes owed, if there were victims here, lenders not making the loans who lost money in the deal they have to
