Trump is the only guy charged, while the rest of the big financial guys who did the same juggling are overlooked. Because its Trump, it is the crime of the century.

Charge is more ropa dope to bleed trump's cash and tie him in legal knots to prevent him from running.

Will be overturned.

The teflon don is biden.

Maybe, maybe not. The left going after him is nothing but politics anyway, so who knows. But I'm sure you bet the farm on this 'sure thing' y'all got going on, right? Lock, stock and barrel, eh?

If it's a slam dunk then why did they wait so long? They could have "got 'em now" years ago, decades ago but they didn't. That they didn't is very telling.

Trump was investigated because of Michael Cohen’s testimony to Congress. He’s also testifying in the trial next week as a witness for the prosecution. Trump has already lost with the summary judgement today. The trial will determine how big he lost.

All you need is whistleblowers to put a bug in a prosecutor’s ear and all the losers can all go down together

As we have explained a zillion times now, for 4 years Trump had executive privilege as president, and thus could not be touched. He's only been out of office for a little more than 2-1/2 years. That is the only time span which matters. Complicated legal investigations can often take a long time, so 2-1/2 years is perfectly reasonable. Furthermore, in the classified documents case his apartment was only raided a little more than a year ago. That case took only about a year to bring to indictment, which isn't very long at all.

From the link in the OP:

A judge ruled Tuesday that Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House

You had years, decades.

It’s telling us they took their time building a case that will get a conviction from a jury.

Nothing more.

Native New Yorker born and raised; answer given isn't entirely correct.

DT had been sitting very near window's edge for years before winning WH race. He always managed to keep one step ahead of law, business partners and others by using various means from pure BS to arrogance along with healthy dose of lying or bullying.

Though he had run for WH before DT never expected to win 2016 race and become POTUS. When for whatever reasons God in heaven made that happen it was both a curse and blessing to DT. For one thing it created more interest in his business dealings, especially from those who didn't or don't like DT.

Worse as one has said DT's mouth and ego were always his two worst enemies. As POTUS DT did what he always has done; treat the federal government and office of POTUS as part of "Trump Inc.". In short "The Donald" was going to use the WH as his own personal bully pulpit to enhance the Trump brand, his own (and that family of his) image and to settle scores with those who treated DT badly in past and or otherwise were his enemies.

What people didn't care about when DT was just some random eejit from NYC forever trying to push himself as some sort of master businessman or genius suddenly became more interesting now that he was POTUS.

Thing started when DT refused to release his tax returns both during campaign, after winning nomination and then becoming POTUS. He also kept to that for all four years in WH.

Again those who know of or about DT long also knew he was shady about his exact net worth. Even Forbes had to make guesstimates because Trump wouldn't totally open books so they could make accurate calculations.

There long has been whispers going around that DT wasn't such a great businessman and not worth what he claimed. What some may not have cared about when DT was a private citizen took on greater importance now that he was in charge of the greatest superpower in world.

Myself and others called it back in 2016; DT would live to regret becoming POTUS. It would bring increased attention from all areas into his background, personal and business dealings; as it should given the office the man was now installed into.
