Trump: 'Nothing More to Say,' 'I Will Not Be Testifying on Monday'
Newsmax ^ | 10 December 2023 | Eric Mack

Posted on 12/10/2023 10:47:02 PM PST by conservative98

As his trial brought by New York Democrat Attorney General Letitia James before Democrat Judge Arthur Engoron comes to an expected close this week, former President Donald Trump declared Sunday he will not be testifying Monday as has been previously expected.

"The fact that our unassailable final expert witness has been so strong and irrefutable in his testimony, which will conclude on Tuesday, & that I have already testified to everything & have nothing more to say other than that this is a complete & total election interference (Biden campaign!) witch hunt, that will do nothing but keep businesses out of New York, I will not be testifying on Monday," Trump announced in the conclusion of a pair of lengthy Truth Social posts. "MAGA!"

And some of those persecutors (e.g., Jack Smith) look like they ought to be on those Pervert Alert Networks people have to notify them of a pervert living near them. Others like that crazy, rabid judge look like they should be in a mental institution.

He has already taken the stand in this trial, dude.

He pleaded the Fifth during his deposition because it was the day after the Mar-a-Lago raid and before any indictments were handed down.

It looks like the Feddy bass turds are going to have to pay off some of Trump’s “friends” to get them to make some more crap up.

“I’m sorry. I don’t recall” that happening.

The only real reason to say anything more, given the complete repudiation of the case by the lender at issue, is for appellate court reasons - *if* his lawyers somehow think it necessary.

Property taxes aren’t remotely based upon his claims.

Considering the fact that during his four hour deposition Trump took the Fifth 440 times, it is probably best he doesn’t take the stand.”

Please cite a *reputable* source to support your BOGUS claim. I’s sure we’ll be waiting.

“We’ll” be waiting as in plural? Are you a spokesperson or just someone who identifies as we, they, them?

Try searching “Trump took the Fifth 440 times.” There over 2.4 million hits regarding Trump taking the Fifth 440 times. The sources include: NBC, New York Daily News, CNBC, AP, Washington Examiner, USA Today, Yahoo News, CBS etc etc

Not satisfied with those sources? Okay, how about Trump as the source? Here is a link to the August 10, 2022, video deposition of Trump. At 9:51 am, you can Trump invoking the Fifth.

There are 240 minutes in four hours. That means Trump took the Fifth about every 30 seconds.

I think you lie.

You say that like it's a bad thing. I wouldn't answer a single question she asked me either.

Well, in the context of a civil trial in New York, it is a bad thing in that the trier of fact can draw a negative inference from a party asserting the privilege against self-incrimination. [See NY PJI 1:75, NY PJI 1:75.1 ,and related commentary and case law]

The source of the lie is the prosecutorial team, the Fake News is happy to repeat it, and Never Trumpers celebrate it as absolute fact.

That was in the deposition last year.

Trump testified this year.

I saw the video of his deposition with Leticia James and her lead attorney.

Trump read a statement as a response to the first question and then for every other idiotic question he answered: ‘Same answer’

The questions were in the vein of: Did you falsify your financial statement in 20XX which then directly lead to a reduction of loan interest rates which amounted to a fraudulently savings of X millions of dollars?

I was almost screaming at the TV: You idiots! Everybody that has a mortgage knows that banks don’t base it on what you think your own house is worth, they rely on an appraisal. The New York attorneys were basically criminalizing anyone that had made an estimate on how much their property would sell for, if it differed from its tax assessment.

Very scary. If it can happen to President Trump, it can happen to you. Next time someone asks, what do you think your property is worth? if you answer you will be committing a crime.

IF you have ever been in a deposition, that is the smart thing to do. It is all twisted against you.

I’ve conducted thousands upon thousands of depositions. In addition, I’ve been deposed several times. It is generally not the “smart” thing to do in a civil case as the jury can make a negative inference from the invocation of the privilege against self-incrimination.

In this particular case, see NY PJI 1:75; NY PJI 1:75:1, related commentary and case law.

Why? Why play their game like this is real?

I’d just “take out” the corrupt AG and the judge.

I’ve said that before. Trump should demand refunds from the counties.
