"... In justifying his findings of fact, New York Judge Arthur
Engoron’s analysis of testimony in Trump’s seven-week civil fraud trial
in Manhattan showed how everything Trump does is based on consistent and
shameless cheating, deceiving, falsifying documents, and lying. [snip]
"'Protecting “the integrity of the financial marketplace and, thus, the public as a whole,' the judge wrote, is made all the more difficult by the Trump team’s 'refusal to admit error—indeed, to continue it.' This shows that Team Trump will engage in fraud 'going forward unless judicially restrained. Indeed, Donald Trump testified that, even today, he does not believe the Trump Organization needed to make any changes based on the facts that came out during this trial.'
"The message from Engoron’s opinion should carry over into whether to entrust Donald Trump once again with the presidency’s powers. People who want a man in the White House who thumbs his nose at the law, has no remorse for cheating others, and lies as easily as he breathes should vote for him. But now that a judge has laid bare Trump’s unrelenting dishonesty, hopefully the American public will realize that Donald Trump is nothing but a remorseless con artist who would steal our democracy and then brag about what a great job he did preserving it." -- investigative reporter David Cay Johnston, in The New Republic, on Judge Engoron's "detailed road map to Trump's thievery" laid bare in the State of New York's bank and real estate fraud victory over the Malignant Loser. Johnston should know what he's talking about. He's been reporting on the Malignant Loser's fraudulent activities for 35 years.
