parse that out? i break it into two parts. one is the legal part, the other is the political part. from the legal perspective, the company s dead. it s basically going to be a defunct company. he s already started a new company in florida to take its place. and from a political perspective, to david and s.c. s point, i m not sure that is going to move the needle. i have a slightly different view, which i think the foundation of the trump legacy is crumbling in front of our eyes and it s going to continue to crumble as more bad news comes out. and the new special counsel for the justice department digs into the case. maybe, jim. i can t tell you how many people i ve heard for six years, any minute now, donald trump is going to be held responsible. it s coming out! it s getting close! chicken little. here again, the trump organization had a 15-year tax scheme. he is the trump organization. he was at the head of it.

could bring charges against the former president. he s hired a former state attorney general prosecutor that has experience in cases against the trump organization. the prosecutor said despite other issues and claims of denial, that the former president did directly have involvement in this tax scheme, that the jurors in manhattan criminal court have found the trump organization guilty. they could face a $1.7 million fine. alvin bragg said this case is about greed and cheating, no corporation is against the law. for 13 years, the trump payroll corporation got away with this scheme that awarded high level executives with lavish perks and compensation all concealing the benefits to avoid paying taxes. so in the words of the prosecutors, the trump organization had this web of on going activity to try to skip
