TWIT: "That's a Problem"

Photogenic Ivanka Trump smiled her way through testifying in the NY civil fraud case. While smiling, she took a predictable path between further incriminating her old man and lying under oath by answering, "I don't recall" numerous times. Her selective memory did not improve after the prosecutor showed her several documents and emails indicating her involvment in deals--Doral Golf Club and the Old Post Office--that significantly over-stated her father's net worth. In one email she wrote to a Trump lawyer that a minimum net worth required by Deutsche Bank--$4.0 billion--to grant a favorable loan would be a "problem" for Trump. Her admission exposes the motive for inflating the numbers--receiving favorable treatment from counterparts--and establishes the materiality of Trump's persistent fraud.  As Letitia James put it to press after the days proceedings, "numbers don't lie."

Don Legit will get another bit at the apple as he will be called by his defense team as one of 127 potential witnesses.
