Someone created an AOC connection. She also obviously
a. has no idea how property tax valuations work
b. wanted to talk about a long-expired possible issue from 1990 (when Cohen admits he wasn't around) regarding the Trump Sr estate transferring to, among others, DJT
c. they allowed Cohen to say "that's exactly the same thing he did for Trump Bedminster", when Cohen did not have knowledge, nor could he proclaim "the same thing" (he could have said similar)
Trump never said he declassified documents by thinking about it. He did say he did declassify documents but didn't say how nor does he need to explain to anyone how he did it.
Well, he does not need to explain to Judge Dearie, who called them all classified. The appeals court called the question a red herring and said classification don't matter. Ouch!

Please see the explanation of suits under Executive Law 63 (12). That law was used to sue Trump about Trump University, too.
just to circle back, I have looked back through the thread, because I know that I found it (an article saying it was Federal court) and posted it - and would have used a "left approved" source. But for reasons unknown to me, there was a large deletion of posts including many of mine. And since I can't find it now, I can only assume it was in one of the deleted posts.
I'm not now disputing it was a NY criminal case. And other than "why didn't Tish James file criminal against Trump then?" it's arguably immaterial to the discussion.
I could ponder "if James/Bragg had enough evidence against Weisselberg for that charge and ultimately guilty plea, why wouldn't she file criminal and why would Bragg at the beginning of the year even "suspend" the investigation.

Weisselberg was sentenced by Juan Merchan, a state court judge.

Judge Juan Manuel Merchan agreed during the hearing in Manhattan Supreme Court to sentence Weisselberg to five months in Rikers Island jail, following the Trump Org.’s trial.

Thanks for the effort. I didn’t mean for you to go to that kind of trouble. I thought you might have remembered who published it.
As far as “left-approved.” There are news gathering organizations and opinion blogs on both sides. I try to stay clear of any of them that spin or fabricate everything they publish to feed red meat to their demographics. I have frequently used Fox, and occasionally Breitbart for reference.
Keeping it middle of the road is always A good idea to get a point across, because that is where the majority lives.

It doesnt matter if you use the left, right or middle as your source of information. Trump at his rallies denies everything and still says its a witch hunt. But secretly has already tried for a settlement to get past this. He knows how deep this can effect him. Through his begging ways and scams. His donors are paying for his attorney fees. He's just a lying knucklehead thats more trouble than he's worth.
Why Trump's 5th Amendment plea won't work in NY case
The 5th Amendment protects individuals from self-incrimination. It is clear about that.
IF, and this is important, IF it is a CRIMINAL case.
In a CIVIL case, which the NY lawsuit is, the Fifth Amendment does not forbid adverse inferences against parties to civil actions when they refuse to testify. In other words, used as, inferring guilt.
And just a reminder of what Trump said in 2016. “The mob takes the Fifth. if you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”
Trump is hooped.
