George Conway on Trumps fraud case
This case is about the fact that if you registered to do business in the state of New York and you keep books and records under New York State law ,because when you're registered to do business wherever, you are required to keep accurate books and records , because there may be a time when people will come and look at them and rely on them, whether that be tax authority ,banks, insurance companies, auditors ,and to basically conduct your businesses as if none of that matters, to run it as...

.... the civil case was always easier to prove because you have a lower burden of proof and the documents on their face prove the case. Basically they're maintaining multiple sets of books , to oversimplify, and they just made-up numbers , so there was not really much for the DA's office to to prove beyond the documents so from the very beginning it was clear that he was gonna be liable. The question is the damages and the only real argument the lawyers have about this case is that those people got repaid, the loans got repaid , and "no one believes us anyway, everybody knows that" , kind of defense and that's not that's not what this case was about.

It's a basis for liability and the question is how do you calculate the damages and I guess you calculate the damages on the basis of how much business you're conducting using these books, because it's not a fraud measure of liability in terms of somebody losing money, but ,he's been doing this for years and, that's why the numbers are so high. The other argument that I saw people making was that this would have never been brought against Trump had he not been running for president.
This is why if you are a criminal it's better not to go into politics, you open yourself up to scrutiny, and the fact that this man could not survive that scrutiny is frankly not the government's fault. It's like you're just like "ohh hey investigate me". Everything that this guy has done is put under a spotlight, but that's because he chose, not anyone else, he chose ,to make himself a public candidate, a public official

As George Conway explains,Trump didn't have leg to stand on in this case
will maga please stop whining
Would Donald Trump have been prosecuted if he remained a Democrat?
Trump has never been either party. He’s only ever been whatever is most expedient for the party of Trump.
Conway's comments speak for themselves, and frankly, everything he says here sounds irrefutable.
Yep, the Trump Party.
I don’t have a twitter (or whatever it is) account, but I saw a tweet in an article the other day where George was one of many people responding to a ridiculous sycophantic Kellyanne tweet about Trump, ripping into her like everyone else. Good stuff.
