''We're a country of laws.....if you don't have laws , you don't have a country''. Donald J Trump. New York AG goes after Trump's Florida property Mar-a-Lago for inflating the value by 100 times
Ok this is the shit that twitter wannabee lawyers say with their head up their ass... trump admitted liability by pleading the 5th? sorry is that what the constitution says?
How many times do I have to repeat this: In civil litigation in federal court, a witness's invocation of the Fifth Amendment may give rise to an adverse inference “when independent evidence exists of the fact to which the party refuses to answer.” https://www.advocatemagazine.com/article/2016-october/pleading-the-fifth-in-civil-cases https://www.elitetrader.com/et/search/14621625/?q=adverse+inference&o=date&c[user][0]=488296
Yeh. And so what? El Concho's point was about whether it admitted liability. Similarly, a defendant's not testifying on his own behalf in a criminal trial may adversely impact him in he eye's of the jury but it is a bridge too far to say that it is an admission of guilt.
"MAY GIVE RISE" is a conditional statement.... MAY. MAY... when there is INDEPENDENT EVIDENCE. Not claims but actual evidence. the fucktard in twitter said trump admitted liability. did he? there is a huge difference....
Trump set up the if/then logic himself when he said "only the guilty plead the 5th". So yes, he's admitted it.
Riiiiiiight....why not skip the trial then and just enter summary judgment on the basis of him pleading the 5th .
Trump responds....... calls her 'Peekaboo.' 'Another witch hunt': Trump lashes out at 'racist' NY AG over 280-page lawsuit alleging mass fraud "Attorney General Letitia 'Peekaboo' James, a total crime fighting disaster in New York, is spending all of her time fighting for very powerful and well represented banks and insurance companies, who were fully paid, made a lot of money, and never had a complaint about me, instead of fighting murder and violent crime, which is killing New York State," he wrote. "She is a failed A.G. whose lack of talent in the fight against crime is causing record numbers of people and companies to flee New York. Bye, bye!" Former President Donald Trump lashed out at New York Attorney General Letitia James after she filed a nearly 300-page lawsuit against him alleging he and his adult children committed massive tax fraud over the span of decades. "Another Witch Hunt by a racist Attorney General, Letitia James, who failed in her run for Governor, getting almost zero support from the public, and now is doing poorly against Law & Order A.G. candidate, highly respected Michael Henry," Trump wrote. "I never thought this case would be brought - until I saw her really bad poll numbers," Trump wrote. "She is a fraud who campaigned on a 'get Trump' platform, despite the fact that the city is one of the crime and murder disasters of the world under her watch!"
