    All of them are things he didnt do wrong, or are something that the other guys in power do, and its not a problem. Literally all of them.

      Oh, so, is the defamation case something he didnt do (despite the rock solid evidence), or something he should get away with because other people do it too (the ultimate 6-year-old excuse)?

      And does everyone claim their property is worth 500%-800% more for decades on their loan applications?

      Have other people gotten away with hiding top secret files in their bathrooms, and lying about having them? Or did that not happen, despite the people moving them being on film?

      I don’t even care about the case about campaign finances.

        You mentioned four different things, let me address the one I know the most about and is the most obvious. You can claim that your house or property is worth as much as you want, how the process works is that you ask for what you want and claim whatever you want, and then the bank does their underwriting and comes to their own determination of value and how much they want to lend. He did nothing wrong t hat I am aware of.

          No, you can’t. If you knowingly and grossly lie on paperwork that’s called fraud. Why the hell would that be legal?

          The fact that most people try to sneak 10% is entirely different from ballooning things by 600% and intentionally lying about the reasons.

            So if you list your house for more than its worth on zillow is that fraud? Who is harmed by claiming you house is worht 600% more (which he didnt actually do but is perfectly fine)?

              Obviously, a loan provider is harmed. Interest rates are calculated based on the radio of debt to assets. If you put a 10k mortgage on a 500k asset, you’re paying far less interest than if you take a 450k mortgage on the same.

              That’s such a basic question, anyone who is into real estate shouldn’t have to ask this.
