"We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the organization is no longer purely civil in nature," Fabien Levy, a spokesman for the attorney general's office, said in a statement. "We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA," he said. The Trump Organization could not immediately be reached for comment.

It never ceases to amaze me how a damn legal case can become an investigator's life's work. They need to hire autistic savants like "The Accountant" to go through the figures. Justice delayed is justice denied which is exactly what Trump can hope for in order to use that argument.
When was 2 years a life's work? Ah yes, in a movie.
I always exaggerate - haven't you noticed?
I liked the accountant reference, or any movie where the bad guys suffer assertive cranial lead poisoning.
I'm sure it will be a highly coordinated effort designed for maximum judicial damage.
Hope they probe him with a sharp stick.
Glad you posted a seed about this. Here I can make smart-ass comments to my heart's delight. And not get trolled or deleted
