I have no respect for Trump, his business ethics are totally repulsive to me. What I haven't reached a conclusion upon is the sincerity of Attorney General Letitia James' stated motive. His statement from October 2nd:
For years, Donald Trump falsely inflated his net worth to enrich himself and cheat the system. We won the foundation of our case last week and proved that his purported net worth has long been rooted in incredible fraud. In this country, there are consequences for this type of persistent fraud, and we look forward to demonstrating the full extent of his fraud and illegality during trial.
No matter how rich or powerful you are, there are not two sets of laws for people in this country. The rule of law must apply equally to everyone, and it is my responsibility to make sure that it does.
Guilty (probably) or not, I've yet to buy into the notion that this is all about justice. My instinct tells me it's politically motivated. I'm willing to wait and see if something comes up that eases my concern about those motives.
