D. Trump Has Been Indicted For GIVING S. Daniels $130,000. Why Isn't C. McCray Being Indicted For LOSING/MISAPPROPRIATING/STEALING Over $850 Million?

[NYCQuestions1976]

Donald Trump is being prosecuted for giving Stormy Daniels $130,000 of his OWN MONEY to be quiet about their affair, which is a misdemeanor in New York State. Meanwhile, why isn't Chirlane McCray being prosecuted (or at least vigorously investigated) for losing or misappropriating or stealing over $850 million in TAXPAYER DOLLARS as New York City's "Mental Health Czar" under the former mayor, Bill DeBlasio? By some accounts, she might've even made as much as $1.2 billion taxpayer dollars magically disappear. So why isn't Alvin Simon Theodore Bragg actively investigating this egregious financial matter?

Also, it's not "whataboutism", because if McCray was indicted and prosecuted for every $130,000 of taxpayer dollars she made vanish, she'd be facing at least a 6,538½ count indictment. That's based on the total amount being $850 million. If the total amount is actually $1.2 billion, she'd be facing a 9,230¾ count indictment. Just based on the mathematics alone, it seems more important to figure out what happened to $850 million (or $1.2 billion) of taxpayer dollars than to figure out what happened to $130,000 of non-public money. Makes "cents", right?

Enjoy GaG!

I know why. Well done as usual, @NYCQuestions1976. 👍

I don't know why. Still well done as usual, @NYCQuestions1976. 👍

It's a coincidence. (I was actively laughing typing this option.) 😂

I'm a liberal and/or a socialist, so I'm used to bleeding other people's money, so I don't see the problem here.

I'm a far-right nut who thinks that New York City should burn in Hell anyway, so I don't care.

You really are a pillar in this community and morale for the masses!

I just wanted to use all the options. 😉👍😂

I knew that Trump is such a polarizing figure one way or the other that people would miss the real point of the question: Alvin Bragg actively chasing $130,000 of non-public money out of his jurisdiction while making no effort to chase over $850 million of New York City taxpayer dollars in his jurisdiction that just magically vaporized like a fart in the wind.

I don't need to agree with the opinions on my questions to be able to recognize effort. It's called "Most Helpful", not "Most Agreeable".

[Soteris]

Donald Trump is not being indicted for giving away his money, he is being indicted for falsifying official documents and also breaking campaigning finance laws because he tried to hide the payment by funneling the money illegally through his campaign and lawyer.

He could have gotten away with it too if he was just a bit smarter but the fact is that Trump is an idiot and in his stupidity broke the law in a way that made it easy to convict him. The reason many politicians dont get into similar legal problems is because they are smarter than Trump is and most do their corrupt dealings in completely legal ways such as using the citizens united legal loophole.

Trump can rage however much he wants about how he specifically is going to face consequences where most other politicians dont but that is the price you pay for not learning how the game is played before sitting down at the table. No one forced Trump to do any of this, he could have lived his life to the end as a rich sleazebag just like he had always done but instead he tried to enter politics without a clue of what to do and what NOT to do.

[Still-alive]

Bingo

[NYCQuestions1976]

It's all a misdemeanor at the state level in New York, not locally. The prosecutor, Alvin Bragg, bringing the case, is the Manhattan District Attorney. So he's not even in his jurisdiction. It should be the New York State Attorney General, Latisha James, bringing the case, if there's going to be a case. The common denominator is here is Bragg, the prosecutor. He should be putting as much or more effort in to finding the the missing $850 million, which was city taxpayer dollars AND his jurisdiction, compared to the massive effort worrying about what happened with $130,000 of non-public money at the state level.

[Soteris]

Its not. Misdemeanors are non-indictable offenses. Trump just got indicted. Also, the New York State Attorney General IS working on a Trump case, just a different one.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Alvin Bragg isn't the New York State Attorney General. He's the Manhattan District Attorney. Two different levels. One is a state office, one is a local/city office. Bragg has no jurisdiction to bring state-level charges. However, he does have jurisdiction to investigate the disappearance of over $850 million of New York City taxpayer dollars. Yet he's done nothing. Very gung-ho over $130,000 out of his jurisdiction, but crickets when it comes to finding out what happened to over $850 million in his jurisdiction. That's not very financially logical.

[Soteris]

It was the Manhattan District that started the criminal probe.

[NYCQuestions1976]

A local probe into a state offense. It's not their jurisdiction. Latisha James is the New York State Attorney General and she never prosecuted. Meanwhile, Alvin Bragg isn't actively investigating what happened to over $850 million of New York City money that's actually IN his jurisdiction. That's a lot of taxpayer dollars that are now missing, but no active investigation. Interesting.

[Soteris]

Manhattan District Attorney has the jurisdiction to prosecute state law.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Not at the state level. You're conflating the Manhattan District Attorney (currently Alvin Bragg) and the New York State District Court, which has a branch in Manhattan. That's the job of the New York State Attorney General (currently Letitia James). Different offices. Local compared to statewide. You don't go to local court for state offenses. Alvin Bragg has no jurisdiction.

[Soteris]

No I am not. The DA has the authority to prosecute under state law and the criminal probe began as a local matter. There is no requirement that I am aware of that forces them to hand off the case unless they find federal crimes.

[NYCQuestions1976]

If it was a federal case, that would be the jurisdiction of the United States Attorney General (currently Merrick Garland).

[Soteris]

But is isent.

[NYCQuestions1976]

No. It's a state case, not a federal case.

"Supreme Court Of The State Of New York"
"County Of New York: Part 59*"

The People Of The State Of New York
-against-
Donald J. Trump

*(That's the district/branch of the state-level supreme court.)

Alvin Bragg is the Manhattan District Attorney, not the State Attorney General, so his court jurisdiction is "New York County (Manhattan) Supreme Court", which is the court below the state Supreme Court. It's not Bragg's jurisdiction.

[Soteris]

It is Braggs criminal probe, it is his jurisdiction.

[NYCQuestions1976]

It's not his jurisdiction. He's the Manhattan District Attorney. He's not the New York State Attorney General. What IS in his jurisdiction is the over $850 million of New York City taxpayer dollars that was, at the very least, misappropriated. Yet Bragg has no active investigation going on about that.

[Soteris]

But it is his probe. Besides, it sounds like most, if not all the counts are local matters like falsified documents and properties.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Bragg's strategy seems to be "death by 10,000 paper cuts" or "we have so many tick turds that it should be counted as an elephant turd". It's going to backfire stupendously. They don't seem to understand that this stuff just makes Trump more popular and more powerful. It's almost like the liberals and socialists and media in this country want Trump to be elected again.

Anyway, the focus of the question isn't about Trump himself. It's about Bragg, and his zealous effort to figure out what happened with $130,000 while showing no such effort to try and figure out what happened to over $850 million of New York City taxpayer dollars, which is squarely in his own jurisdiction. Over $850 million is an awful lot of money to disappear in some fashion with no active investigation.

[Soteris]

Personally I would be all in favor of making Trump more popular. He looks to be struggling in the conservative primary but he is probably the worst candidate to win the presidency so getting him a secured candidacy in the presidential election is a great boon for anyone against the GOP. It would also fuel the internal civil war inside the GOP which is just so much fun to watch.

But that is besides the point. If something is illegal then you should be prosecuted on it, even if it is politically inconvenient for me or politically beneficial for them. The law is the law and in a civilized society it should be absolute. Taking into other considerations is how you get a lawless society and why I consider USA to be getting closer to a 3rd world country since you apparently as a country dont think you could prosecute a sitting president for whatever logical sense there is in such stupidity.

[NYCQuestions1976]

I don't believe that you realize just how bad Joe Biden has been as President. He's been a disaster. Unless Biden turns it around over the next 19 months, if/when Donald Trump gets the nomination, there'll be no Republican infighting. Trump will win the general election in a landslide. As I already posted, this plan by Bragg to go after Trump is only serving to make him more popular and more powerful. The liberals and socialists in this country seem to be hell-bent on turning Trump into Obi-Wan Kenobi ahead of the 2024 election. It's not a good strategy at all.

If we went after all politicians for being uncivilized and not following the rule of law in this country, then we'd have no politicians here. If you believe it's somehow different there, then you're naïve. The government an its revolving occupants are not your friends, and politics are dirty. Also, the President Of The United States is considered to be the leader of the free world. Arresting and prosecuting a sitting President Of The United States would cause numerous enormous national and international security issues. I wouldn't expect you to understand that, because arresting and prosecuting a sitting Prime Minister Of Sweden would be the equivalent of arresting and prosecuting a sitting general manager at your local grocery store. Even a former president going to jail would be a major national security issue. It's the reason why all former presidents continue to have a Secret Service detail for life, and why the Secret Service will never allow any former president to serve any time in prison for anything. Jimmy Carter is 98 years old and on hospice care now, and the Secret Service is still with him.

Finally, following your arguments of "civilized society" and "the law is the law", it would be far more important to civilization and the rule of law to figure out what happened to over $850 million in New York City taxpayer dollars than trying to get to the bottom of a $130,000 transaction.

[Soteris]

I hate Biden about as much as I hate Trump but for different reasons obviously. I am under no illusions that he has not got a lot of support and the quite frankly lackluster record as president. But he has not been bad, but perhaps worse since he has been boring. Biden has had more presidential success than Trump has and even have some good platforms to stand on during the next election thanks to some key accomplishments. But it is still Biden and Biden is always boring so who knows how effective that would be.

That is besides the point though. I am well aware that Biden is a weak candidate and would lose against a lot of Republican picks. But he would not lose against Trump. Trump has always been good at firing up his base, but it has always been at a cost. This cost has both been in people literally dying, such as with how many GOP voters has died because of covid19 and also because the aggressive rethoric of Trump which is so effective at gaining voters is twice as effective at repelling others.

The longer Trump campaigns, the fewer voters he will have at the end. Simply put, everyone who would vote for Trump has already picked the side of MAGA so at this point the only thing he can do is maintain those voters at the cost of steadily losing the independents. The thing is, MAGA is a minority so he can't win with them alone and now he is stuck with no path to victory.

There are also few actual supporters of Trump in the top of the GOP. They will backstab him at the first opportunity and pin all of their own blame onto Trump and then dump him with saying "He was never a true 'Republican' and only switched to use us to win".

[Soteris]

As for the law. I rather have no politicians than criminal politicians so I am not even sure what kind of threat that is. Sounds lovely to me. Also I would be all in favor of arresting both the actual fucking KING of Sweden along with the prime minister if they had unpaid parking tickets. The law is the law is the law. Never understood why this was so hard for people to understand.

[NYCQuestions1976]

I've never seen anyone try to combine civilization anarchy (zero government) and centralized totalitarianism (parking ticket jail) and suggest they should somehow be implemented simultaneously. I'd probably watch that show.

Forget about politics for a moment. If the goal is to only have idealistic people everywhere in life, that's overly virtualistic and moralistic, because it's an impossible feat. It's basically a version of religious persecution without the religion. What I posted about not having any politicians isn't a threat; it's just something that'll never happen. In politics or in any facet of life. You'd have to shun and/or turn in everyone you know for some wrongdoing at some point in their lives, including yourself.

[Soteris]

I dont care about idealism or whatever. I just want to confine their activities within the confines of the law. If they can't do that then I think they deserve to be in prison, no matter who they are. Everyone should be equal in front of the legal system.

Do you know why justice is often said to be blind and why the statues of lady justice is always blindfolded? This is why. So that justice would not apply differently depending on who is being charged for a crime.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Well based on that standard, Alvin Bragg's lack of interest in figuring out how over $850 million in New York City taxpayer dollars basically vaporized suggests that he prefers an uneven application of the law.

[Soteris]

Any application of the law is still an application of the law and as such, worth doing. At no point does this persuade me that Trump should not be prosecuted.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Not investigating the misappropriation of over $850 million taxpayer dollars isn't an application of the law. It's the opposite of that.

[Soteris]

So.. Why should they not prosecute Trump?

[NYCQuestions1976]

As an application of law? Inconclusive, for now.

I need to see the actual indictment for myself. Some of the accusations my have passed the statute of limitations, or maybe they didn't. I want to see for sure either way myself.

Two things I mentioned before: Bragg is out of his jurisdiction, and according to New York state law, making hush money payments is a misdemeanor, not a felony. So I need to see proof of that "leap" to a felony, not just based on guesswork and hearsay.

I need to see specifically what Bragg has, if anything at all. Merrick Garland and Letitia James are very much anti-Trump, but they didn't prosecute him. So what does Bragg, as Manhattan District Attorney, "know" that Letitia James as New York State Attorney General, and Merrick Garland as United States Attorney General, don't know? I'm supposed to believe that Bragg can make a case that neither James nor Garland could make themselves? I've seen Bragg in action. That's a big leap of faith.

More importantly, it's not about, "Why should they not prosecute Trump?" It's about, "A person in Bragg's jurisdiction made over $850 million in New York City taxpayer dollars vanish, and he's more concerned with getting to the bottom of a $130,000 transaction outside his jurisdiction." Why is that? Why is figuring out what happened to over $850 million not a priority, or seemingly not even on the radar?

As an application of political strategy? Absolutely not, and I've explained those reasons already.

[Soteris]

Again, the charges against Trump is not about paying money to a porn star but about things such as falsifying official documents and breaking campaign finance laws. The fact that it was during him paying money to a porn star is not relevant unless you want to question his morality.

As for the New York State Attorney General, they also joined the probe after Manhattan District Attorney dug up enough evidence so they are currently cooperating on this with two similar cases where the New York State Attorney General picks up the charges that the Manhattan District presumably can't pursue.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Seems like my characterization of the situation is relatively accurate. Although not really going to be sure either way until December.
https://youtu.be/d7mkiEilaK0

[Soteris]

Not sure what you are reading into but it sounds pretty much exactly what I have been saying. Trump is not indited for giving money to Stormy Daniels but because of falsifying official documents and such things in the act of doing so. Also, saying that this case is "weak" is neither a surprise nor truly accurate. We already knew that this was by far the weakest case that was being constructed against Trump so this is basically just affirming this.

Furthermore, I think its actually a good thing that the weakest case went ahead first. So much of the coverage, including in this video, is centered on how "unprecedented" it is to indite a former president etc.. All this helps Trump swing towards sweeping it under the rug where as when further indictments of him comes he can no longer use this in his favor anymore since the precedent of inditing a former president, and specifically him, has already been set.

But this is not to mention that this is by no means a toothless case either. Trump might very well be convicted on this if he is not careful. And again, this is just the prelude to the absolute tsunami of criminal cases that is going to curb-stomp Trump in the next few years.

[NYCQuestions1976]

I just found out an Appellate Court decided that Daniels needs to pay Trump's legal fees from her failed defamation case. (Or maybe it was in that same video? I'm leaving Yankee Stadium right now after a nice win, so I'm distracted.) Anyway, Bragg's may not be toothless, but a few molars might've just been knocked out.

[Soteris]

How so? This has gone completely according to how Bragg wanted it to so far.

[NYCQuestions1976]

It's a criminal case. That means "beyond a reasonable doubt" (99.99%+) for a conviction. A civil case is "preponderance of the evidence" (just slightly more likely than not). So anything you can use in a criminal case to sow doubt, however minimal, benefits the defense greatly.

[Soteris]

can't say I have seen any sowing of doubt.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Well nothing is going to happen with this case until December. In the meantime, maybe Bragg can start investigating the over $850 million in New York City taxpayer dollars that was misappropriated in his jurisdiction by Chirlane McCray.

[Soteris]

I doubt it will take that long. The trend with Donald Trump is usually that he will find a way to make things worse on a weekly basis. For example, did not one of his lawyers or family members tweet out the information on the judges daughter or something? can't quite remember but that alone is going to be used against him in court.

[NYCQuestions1976]

No I meant that's the next scheduled date in this case.

[lightbulb27]

Because it's about the big picture to ruin trumps chances of being president again. they are legit scared of him.

It's not about right and wrong, it's about control and in some aspects... paybacks.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Their strategy is going to backfire stupendously. They don't seem to understand that this stuff just makes Trump more popular and more powerful. It's almost like the liberals and socialists and media in this country want Trump to be elected again. They're going to turn him into Obi-Wan Kenobi ahead of the 2024 election.

[lightbulb27]

I suspect they want Trump because they think they can beat him more easily than the other. Whether they think that far ahead can't say, but the strategists would play both sides. they know their guy is not looking good in the polls.

[NYCQuestions1976]

It's a dangerous game of chicken. In the more immediate future, I'm more interested in finding out what happened to over $850 million in New York City taxpayer dollars while Bill DeBlasio was New York City mayor.

[Littlejugs99]

The democrats need to shut Trump down by doing this for something that is essentially misdemeanor so federal agencies are being instructed to silence Biden's political enemies. This actually gives Trump a lot of power and support and confirms what a lot of people believe about the federal government and abuse of power.

[NYCQuestions1976]

What liberals and socialists don't understand is that orchestrated stunts like this are backfiring and making Trump more popular and more powerful ahead of the 2024 election.

Anyway, the point of my question was this: Why doesn't Alvin Bragg seem interested in figuring out what happened to over $850 million in New York City taxpayer dollars in his own jurisdiction?

[Littlejugs99]

I agree. Then there's that clinton aide with Epstein links who committed suicide b4 Christmas by shooting himself in the chest with a shotgun then hanging himself from a tree, then hiding the shotgun. Police ruled suicide and not suspicious at all.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Yes the Epstein/Maxwell list is another major newsworthy issue that no one in the government or the media seems very interested in putting the spotlight on.

[goaded]

"Our rating: False

Multiple legal experts said Clinton’s $850,000 payment to Jones as part of a settlement agreement is not considered "hush money" since the facts of the case were already publicly known."

[NYCQuestions1976]

@goaded Whether it's true or false is completely irrelevant. An $850,000 transaction of private money still isn't $850 million of New York City taxpayer dollars being vaporized.

[goaded]

"Whether it's true or false is completely irrelevant" pretty much sums up the Republican position.

[NYCQuestions1976]

@goaded You don't even see your own hypocrisy, because that was the "collusion" position. It's a lie, but it's a good helpful lie.

[goaded]

Wait, this a months old story? How did it turn out?

[NYCQuestions1976]

@goaded It hasn't turned out. There's still no investigation.

[Msputiton]

Why y'all do this?

If you stole from a grocery store, and got away with it, but I got caught, does that mean I get to go, he didn't get caught, so I shouldn't be arrested too.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Someone "getting away with it" would be someone who was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt (in a criminal case), was prosecuted, but beat the charges. $850 million is a lot of money and it's not even being investigated. Also, Bragg is the Manhattan District Attorney. He's not the New York State Attorney General. It's a state charge, so it's not even his jurisdiction.

[NYCQuestions1976]

$850 million of New York City money missing IS Bragg's jurisdiction. Yet no active investigation. Interesting.

[Msputiton]

Which means he got away with it.
Do i want him to get investigated of course.
But does that mean trump should not be investigated no.
Don't go why is trump getting investigated but he is not.
Just say we need to investigate him because he stole 850 million.
Him not being investigated has nothing to do with trump.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Her, not him. DeBlasio's wife "lost" $850 million of New York City taxpayer dollars. Trump used his own $130,000 to commit a misdemeanor, and the prosecutor isn't in his jurisdiction. $850 million is 6,538½ times more than $130,000. I'd agree there'd be no connection, but the prosecutor is the same person. Gung-ho over $130,000. Crickets for $850 million gone. Seems fiscally irresponsible to me.

[Msputiton]

How did she lose the money?

[NYCQuestions1976]

She was appointed and served as the "Mental Health Czar" under the previous mayor (and her husband) Bill DeBlasio here in New York City. She was supposed to use the money, which was taxpayer dollars, for the ongoing mental health crisis in the city. Instead, the money just basically disappeared, and no one is really investigating the situation.

[Msputiton]

I agree she needs to be investigated. But i do not think it has anything to do with trump.
At this point all we know about the trump case is, that they are claiming he has 30 counts of business fraud.
Let's see the evidence in court and determine if it is a legit charge.

[NYCQuestions1976]

It doesn't have to do with Trump. The common denominator is Bragg, the prosecutor. He should be putting as much or more effort in to finding the the $850 million, compared to the massive effort worrying about what happened with $130,000.

[Msputiton]

Okay. I understand what your point is.

[CandyRat]

1. The court ordered Stormy Daniels to pay Trump $300,000 for defamation charges. She said she would rather go to jail than pay a penny.

2. Trump's suicidal lawyer admits he paid $130,000 to stormy out of his own pocket..
3. The statute of limitations has ran out on this entire thing.

4. Alvin Braggs campaigned on going after Trump, so this is a huge conflict of interest.
5. Alan Derschowitz says that this is the stupidest case he's seen in all of his 50 years of practice.

6. Alvin Bragg's knows this won't stick, but he's doing his best to interfere with the 2024 elections. And that's a federal crime.

[NYCQuestions1976]

@CandyRat If your last point turns out to come to fruition, it's going to backfire, and the liberals and the socialists are just making Trump more popular and more powerful ahead of the 2024 election. They never learn.

[CandyRat]

I got a Tweet from Trump saying that if he's arrested it will be a landslide victory for him in 2024. I believe it.

[NYCQuestions1976]

@CandyRat That might very well wind up being true, but it wasn't the main focus of my question: Alvin Bragg doesn't seem very interested in finding out what happened to over $850 million in his jurisdiction. Why is that?

[CandyRat]

@NYCQuestions1976

It's quite simple. The word on the street is that weird Al is eying the governorship of the state. And, he's hoping to later throw his hat in the ring for the presidency. When weird Al was vying for the DA position, he promised he'd go after Trump. This gave Soros a woody, so Soros donated tons of money to his campaign. I don't think weird Al is against Trump in any way. Weird Al is just a corrupt creature from the swamp that would stab his own mom in the back if it helped him climb the ladder.
As for the $850 million, his puppet master Soros probably told weird Al to stand down. If you're connected to the deep state like the Clintons, you can get away with murder.

Joe Biden couldn't get a job at Taco Bell, and he's the leader of the free world.

[msc545]

@NYCQuestions1976 you probably should forget this instead of repeating it over and over. That crime, if it is a crime, is not going to be investigated.

[NYCQuestions1976]

@msc545 It's worth repeating. Working in New York City, I pay into those taxes every week.

[msc545]

I live in the US and I also pay taxes. Why aren't you complaining about the 858 billion dollars of our tax money donated this year by the government to defense contractors?

[NYCQuestions1976]

@msc545 Do you also pay New York City taxes?

We know where that money was spent, whether we agree or disagree on whether or not it should've been spent. We also sent a bunch of money to the Ukraine as well, for good or bad. There's a difference between maybe not liking where tax dollars are being spent, and tax dollars just disappearing.

[msc545]

So go tell somebody you think is interested and can help you.

[NYCQuestions1976]

@msc545 That's nonsensical. Bragg needs to do his job.

[exitseven]

The democrats know that Trump is so far ahead in the polls he is sure to be the nominee for 2024. He is also ahead of Biden and there is still over a year to go where Biden's corruption will be investigated. Even though the DOJ will try to bury it James Comer and the Oversight committee will find somebody who will do the investigation regardless of DOJ interference. The only play they have is to prevent Trump from running. The scary thing is that when this fails the only play available is to have him killed.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Meanwhile, there's no ongoing investigation into where the over $850 million of New York City taxpayer dollars has gone.

[exitseven]

Yes and what about the 160 billion sent to Ukraine. Who really knows where all that money went?

[NYCQuestions1976]

Well lucky for us, inflation has made our money worthless, so it's really only about $160 that we sent there.

[Juxtapose]

You can't be indicted for a misdemeanor and the people going after him don't even have jurisdiction. If this actually goes through then we can discard the rule of law.

[NYCQuestions1976]

It's the jurisdiction of the New York State Attorney General (currently Letitia James), and she decided not to prosecute Trump. This is making Trump more popular and more powerful. Liberals and socialists in this country don't understand that. They're turning him into Obi-Wan Kenobi ahead of the 2024 election.

[NYCQuestions1976]

@fast_and_the_curious Your question doesn't make sense, and doesn't have anything to do with the over $850 million disappearing while Bill DeBlasio was New York City mayor. The Manhattan District Attorney's office (local level court) and the New York State Attorney General's office (state level court) are two different prosecuting offices, and Letitia James has been the New York State Attorney General for a while now.

Also, using the Block Button in the middle of a debate is the primary tool of the ignorant. Enjoy being stupid everywhere else. 👍

[Juxtapose]

Hahaha what a stupid bitch! Good on you for getting him to bitch out.

[NYCQuestions1976]

His repeated question made no sense anyway. What previous attorney general? Letitia James has been the New York State Attorney General for years now. Plus he never even addressed the over $850 million that's gone missing, which is the primary point of my question. What a dummy. lol

[NYCQuestions1976]

@Juxtapose I believe that dude got tossed off the site. His comment is gone from my question, and it wasn't removed by me.

[Juxtapose]

Aww fuck censorship I was having fun.

Every current and former politician should be investigated and charged for their crimes. It would end up getting rid of the national debt overnight as they would take a plea and pay fines.

[NYCQuestions1976]

That would collect a lot of money! 😂

[CandyRat]

...

[NYCQuestions1976]

I agree their strategy is going to backfire royally. This stuff just makes Trump more popular and more powerful.

[CandyRat]

I hope he puts on a big smile when they take his mug shot.

[msc545]

That as campaign money Trump used, not his own money. As for the other matter, it is not as politically important regardless of the amount stolen.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Bingo! Not POLITICALLY important.

To be fair, I'm not 100% certain it was stolen (although possible); but it's definitely gone missing and/or been misappropriated. Either way, there should be an investigation.

[msc545]

Tell the DA.

[NYCQuestions1976]

The District Attorney is Alvin Bragg. He said he wants to be tough on white-collar crimes. Making $850 million disappear seems to fit the bill, yet no active investigation.

[msc545]

Maybe you can find out who has it and they will give you some of it in exchange for your silence...

[NYCQuestions1976]

Highly doubtful. I don't check enough boxes.

[AngryCarl2]

You mean the City of New York isn't going to investigate the Mayor and his wife? That is indeed a puzzle.

[NYCQuestions1976]

As of now, there is no active investigation going on. At least not one with as much zeal as the $130,000 investigation going on right now.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

So let me understand, NY has a law that if a person is having an affair and you give "hush money" it's illegal?

[NYCQuestions1976]

It's a misdemeanor at the state level. The prosecutor, Alvin Bragg, bringing the case, is the Manhattan District Attorney. So he's out of his jurisdiction. It should be the New York State Attorney General bringing the case, if there's going to be a case.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Wow. Funny law.

[jshm2]

Get your head out your ass.

The case against Trump is going to court. There is no case against McCray.

You need to get oxygen to your brain and stop making shit up.

[NYCQuestions1976]

The focus and subject of the question is Bragg's zealous effort to figure out what happened with $130,000 while showing no such effort to try and figure out what happened to over $850 million in his own jurisdiction.

So over $850 million of New York City taxpayer dollars was never, at the very least, misappropriated by Chirlane McCray? Go be stupid somewhere else.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Also, make sure you vote D before you go be stupid somewhere else.

[Daniela1982]

Good question.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Thanks. I try.

I see the April Fools' colors are back.

[Daniela1982]

Biden is a big crook, selling info to China. Yet no one questions him.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Even Biden didn't "misplace" over $850 million of New York City taxpayer dollars. That's some magic trick.

[Daniela1982]

Well someone must be getting paid to look the other way. It's funny how the IRS will come after us for owing back taxes, yet the rich see, to be able to do no wrong.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Bureaucracy keeps us all employed, and the internet keeps us all distracted. We're all living in a giant DMV building.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Lmao what

[NYCQuestions1976]

Read any one or a few or all of the links. Over $850 million of New York City taxpayer dollars magically disappeared, and there's currently no active investigation going on.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Do you know how to read?

[NYCQuestions1976]

Just vote D and move on.
