I didn't read every post in here, so not sure if this was mentioned. 

 

How would you feel if you were Terry Pegula, and you increased your bid on the Bills by a couple 100 million because you thought you had to outbid Trump? Only to find out later that Trump's bid was (allegedly) fraudulent? 

 

I'd be too busy thanking every deity I could think of for owning my favorite football team in the best football city in America to care.

 

But that's just me.

that's a part of the fun of a private sale, you hope to entice a "special interest purchaser" or 3 who make no financial sense whatsoever in their bidding

 

it's cutthroat enough when it is a public sale with the share value easily determined....  :D

What scares me most is the fanatical partisan opinions here.  Either you support Trump, in which case we should be demanding a wall (Weren't the Mexicans paying for it?), and any inquiry into Trump is harassment by democrats who should just leave Trump alone, as the man can obviously do no wrong...or...you support the democrats, everything Trump has done has been wrong and likely criminal, and anything he proposes should be shot down.  There is no middle ground, not even a pretense.

 

That being said, back on point, if there is the possibility a crime was commited, in this case fraud, it should be investigated regardless of whether Trump is President or just a shoe shine boy.  Crime is crime.

 

Maybe you (and some others in this thread) missed it in the article, but it is not a criminal inquiry.

 

From the article:

 

"And as if investigations launched by the House Financial Services and House Intelligence Committees wouldn't be comprehensive enough (it's also believed that the Mueller probe has investigated Trump's ties to the bank), New York State Attorney General Letitia James has launched a civil inquiry into the bank, demanding via subpoena more information about its involvement in Trump's failed bid to buy the Buffalo Bills, among other dealings with the now-first family."

I want to welcome all of you TSW posters to the discussion here at PPP. I know many of you will be uncomfortable here because we don't letshitslide and you'll have to make a reasoned case for your uninformed opinions, which is an impossible task in and of itself. Please feel free to repeat your unsubstantiated horseshit that you posted on TSW this morning. As some of you might know, we are self-moderating here so you are free to spew. Have at it.

Here's the stupid thread.

 

Somebody should let Leticia James know that using your accountants' valuation of your brand name in applications is not a crime.

 

in that realm of riches we had the Clippers go for $2 billion pointlessly

 

private sales can go haywire easily

Correct! Just ask the last president who was a community organizer and two-year senator.

 

 

Are those not relevant experiences? You also left out Columbia and Harvard Law graduate, civil rights attorney, professor of constitutional law, and Illinois State Senate representative.

 

That's basically the best resume you can have to become the President, aside from holding a cabinet position.

 

Anyway, if Trump broke the law with regard to his bid, he deserves to suffer the same punishment that anyone else would. Considering he's already gotten away with a litany of offenses that other citizens would be in jail for, I don't see this going anywhere.

How did you get to the level where you can dictate to all of us what the right credentials are for being a President?

 

And you spend your valuable time here with us?

It is actually odd to me that on the main TSW Board someone will get pounded for misstating free agent contract terms, or which gap a DTackle plays best, but when Politics come up, the facts are loose and free.

Or being a Governor.

Or not.

My folks and many of my friends never held these positions, but I bet they'd have made great Presidents.

It is amazing to me how politically ignorant some people are. I guess that's why we end up with Talib, Omar and AOC. Oh, and Hank Johnson and Maxine Waters.

Tax fraud (many times over)

Charity fraud

Sexual assault / harassment

Campaign finance fraud

Violations of the fair housing act

Casino fraud

Lobbying violations

Financial reporting violations

 

There are many more. Basically every aspect of his business and personal life is a massive crime report. He has been convicted of many of these. Others are still ongoing.
