I always like her work and comments.

She has been investigating and reporting on Trump for many years and is knowledgable
about his finances.

2. She was the one who actually showed up at Mary Trump's door to ask for her help in writing that article about TFG

And his years of tax evasion. It took Mary awhile, but she finally agreed to help - since she had access to documents from the family attorneys. And it turned out to be a record long New York Times article, believe it was in 2018 when TFG was still in office.

I heard Mary Trump at first refused to help, but then changed her mind.
How do you not like Sue Craig.

And in her acknowledgements for book #2, "The Reckoning," she singles out Susanne Craig, says she'll always be grateful she knocked on her door.

So it is easy to underestimate her.

But once she starts talking your jaw drops because she knows Trump and his finances
very well.

She is the last of the great investigative reporters.

I love Mary Trump she is another great woman.

9. Exactly. He's lied and cheated for his entire life, he deserves everything he's facing - and more, finally!

Trump sells Truth Social and get $3-4 billion the day after the deadline?

Can AG Letitia James still seize his properties?

11. Who would buy it? Does anybody use it? I thought that he was allowed back on Twitter/X?

And MSNBC was saying that Letitia James wouldn't immediately sell his properties if she took them in lieu of payment since she might have to give them back. So that must mean if he came up with the money after the deadline. They were also saying that he wouldn't declare bankruptcy (again) because it could "damage" his campaign. Doesn't he do that every time he opens his mouth??

They also said that Letitia James could "start" the process of putting a lien on his properties on Monday but he could still come up with the money in the meantime.
