It’s official – the Trump organization is under criminal investigation.
The news came from the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James, who will now join the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in the civil and criminal investigation.
“We have informed the Trump organization that our investigation into the organization is no longer purely civilian in nature. We are currently actively investigating the Trump organization on a criminal basis, with the Manhattan district attorney, ”James spokesman Fabien Levy told CNN. “We have no further comments.”
The wide-ranging investigation is in part focused on whether the organization intentionally distorted the value of properties to lenders and insurance companies, and whether it paid the appropriate taxes on those holdings.
This means that Trump’s children Ivanka and Eric, both of whom are heavily involved in the organization, will also be investigated.
Needless to say, the news was greeted on Twitter with the appropriate level of concern:
So it turns out that “She” who should be locked up is Ivanka.

Donald Trump just released a statement saying he barely knows Donald Trump, has never met anyone by the name of Ivanka, Eric or Don Jr, and has never had a business relationship with the Trump organization.

Suddenly realizing that Ivanka’s complicit and smug ass could end up in jail with her crooked father makes him so much sweeter.

First day in prison.
IVANKA: So I printed out my CV, and wrote a three hundred word essay on why I think I would be a great member of your gang, the Latin Queens. I know, overachiever. I also have a recommendation from the CEO of Goya. He’s a friend.

All I hear is, “I plead not guilty, Your Honor” in a soft, hissing, cooing voice. @IvankaTrump

When Ivanka learned that the Trump organization was currently under investigation on criminal charges, she asked, “But what does this have to do with me – Ivanka Kushner?”

There was never any question of peace in the Middle East.

Who else remembers Crimestress Ivanka referred to the MAGA insurgents as “patriots” while still attacking the US Capitol? I do.

Is today a good day to remind everyone that Ivanka Trump referred to the insurgents as “patriots” as they beat, crush and crush the Capitol Police?

Remember when Don JR was going to run for mayor of New York and Jared and Ivanka were arguing over which of them was going to be president first?
Idiots.
