February 1, 20223 yr Author Quote New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) subpoenaed the General Services Administration (GSA) this week, requesting records concerning how the agency chose former President Trump's business to lease the federally owned Old Post Office Pavilion in Washington, D.C., for his hotel, The Washington Post reported. James's inquiry, which is part of a probe into Trump's business, is seeking information about whether Trump secured the lease after exaggerating his net worth, two people familiar with the matter told the Post on the condition of anonymity. Included among the documents that James requested was reportedly a scorecard the GSA used to rank Trump's bid against other developers who hoped to lease and redevelop the historic building. According to the Post, the information included in that record could aid James's effort to establish a pattern of the former president presenting his business partners, insurers and banks with false information in order to obtain other deals and loans, the Post noted.

February 2, 20223 yr Someone lives in Bizarro World. Trump asks Jan. 6 panel to probe Pence’s lack of action Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday advocated a new focus for congressional investigators: why then-Vice President Mike Pence did not take steps on Jan. 6, 2021, to reject Electoral College votes from key states won by Joe Biden. Trump’s exhortation came two days after he created an uproar with a statement suggesting Pence should have "overturned” the election as he presided over the counting of Electoral College votes by Congress. On Tuesday, Trump offered a more nuanced take on what he would have liked to have seen from Pence, saying he "could have sent the votes back to various legislators for reassessment after so much fraud and irregularities were found.”
February 2, 20223 yr Classic Trump. When sheet starts to go bad he makes it worse. He counts on winning or at least not losing once the fight gets dirty enough.

February 3, 20223 yr https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/02/01/trump-hotel-subpoena-gsa-letitia-james/ N.Y. attorney general subpoenaed Trump D.C. hotel records from feds New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) subpoenaed the General Services Administration for information about how the agency selected former president Donald Trump’s business to lease the historic post office where he developed his D.C. hotel, according to two people familiar with the request. The inquiry, part of a civil investigation into Trump’s business, sought information about whether Trump inflated his net worth to secure the lease, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing legal inquiry. The documents James sought included a scorecard GSA used to rank Trump’s bid against those of other developers who proposed leasing and redeveloping the federally owned Old Post Office Pavilion downtown. That information could fit into James’s broader effort to show a pattern of Trump giving false information to business partners, banks and insurers to secure loans and other deals. James’s request appears to differ from previous inquiries into Trump’s hotel, which largely focused on whether he should have been allowed to retain the deal while in office. After Trump was elected, he ignored calls from Democrats to sell his stake in the lease to avoid conflicts of interest. Trump is now working to sell that lease, in a deal that could net his company $100 million in profits, and the negotiations have coincided with renewed scrutiny from lawmakers and prosecutors. In October, the House Oversight Committee, chaired by Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.), issued a report raising concerns about whether Trump had misled the GSA in pursuing the deal. Maloney and Rep. Gerald E. Connolly (D-Va.) wrote to GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan alleging that Trump "concealed hundreds of millions of dollars in debts from GSA when bidding on the Old Post Office Building lease” and called for an investigation. Connolly said in a recent interview that he wasn’t content to let the issue go. "If he walks away from this laughing all the way to the bank with a $100 million profit, we will have debased the whole concept of enforcing conflict of interests laws and ethics,” he said. As part of his bid for the GSA lease, Trump submitted statements of financial condition, according to a recent filing from James’s office and documents released by the House Oversight Committee. James alleged that in doing so, Trump and his daughter Ivanka — at the time an executive at his company who oversaw the project — won the hotel lease in part by providing the government with false financial information. Supreme Court, investigators force Trump and his children on the defensive on multiple fronts Ivanka Trump submitted the Trump Organization’s proposal and presented it on behalf of the company. James’s office noted in its filing that that "presentation and the associated bid explicitly incorporated the Statement of Financial Condition of Donald J. Trump.” James alleged that the Trump Organization informed the GSA in its presentation that: "Trump’s real estate investments are funded from Donald J. Trump’s significant net worth, which is composed of a wide range of capitalized affiliates. Please find Trump’s Statement of Financial Condition in an envelope submitted with each copy of this proposal.” Trump and representatives of his company did not immediately return a request for comment. They have said they won the project on the merits of their bid and have painted James as a partisan official who decided to pursue a case against Trump before she took office in 2019. Her allegations "are baseless and will be vigorously defended” the company said Jan. 19, after James alleged in the filing that the company had routinely inflated the value of Trump’s properties. Trump has also sued James in response. In recent filings, James’s office asked a federal judge to throw out Trump’s suit and refuse to halt the progress of her civil probe. "The public interest is served by having [the AG’s office] continue its Investigation into allegations of fraud and misrepresentation in Mr. Trump’s financial statements provided to financial institutions and the government,” one of the filings read.

I'm just passing along what I'm being told by people with a law background. My lawyer friend hates Trump but is incredibly skeptical that anything will stick to him that would produce an indictment. It really is like trying to pin down a mob boss.
