What the New York attorney general lawsuit could mean for Donald Trump | USA TODAY

Former President Donald Trump, three of his children and some business executives are accused of fraud by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

New York Attorney General Letitia James on Wednesday accused former President Donald Trump of massive fraud in a civil lawsuit following a three year inquiry into the finances of the family business. James said Trump "falsely inflated his wealth by billions of dollars" to enrich himself and his family and the lawsuit seeks to effectively shutter the former president's namesake business, the Trump Organization.

"Mr. Trump thought he could get away with the art of the steal, but today, that conduct ends," James said. "There aren't two sets of laws for people in this nation: former presidents must be held to the same standards as everyday Americans." James said she has referred some of the allegations to federal authorities, including the Manhattan U.S Attorney's Office and the IRS for possible criminal investigation.

It wouldn't seem much, considering it has been indicated, implied, staffers in connection with the office all the way to the top were hired, received job placement through network. The network that has direct ties to the computer hack and to Japan, perhaps so far as it regards other nations Governments/High powered citizens. Thereby, it is a compromised investigation' of political targeting. Diversion through distraction. Beyond that, the notion human beings might be able to resolve difficulty and get along working together for the common good.
