For perspective, Bernie Madoff, who defrauded many people of their life savings and left a string of victims, was fined a mere $10 million.

The legal system is not about justice or fairness. It’s a revenue source.

Totalitarian goons, like James and Engoron, the Moron, will not tolerate equitable treatment of defendants under any circumstance. Thugs and goons do what thugs and goons do.

“...victimless crime...”

No crime is victimless, otherwise it wouldn’t be a crime. By getting caught over estimating the worth of property to secure loans, he opened himself up for a rediculous fine handed just for him. So whether it is an appearance of criminality by the perpetrator, or the procecution becomes a perpetrator, as in this case, someone was the victim. Or, they both were to each other. Neither was right in what they did. But you won’t read that in the newspaper or hear it on MSNBC.

Bernie Madoff was fined a mere $10 million. He was charged and went to jail for securities fraud, investment adviser fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, uttering false statements, perjury, false filings with the SEC, and theft from an employee benefit plan.

When all of this is over, Trump needs to sue ALL of the parties for damages. Triple damages are in order.

They should reduce it to -$500,000. President Trump was tried in a kangaroo court and all his rights were prohibited.
