"In other ramblings, Trump launched into a soliloquy about the beauty of the marble bathrooms at his Miami golf resort...."
"'In the case of the villas, 800 rooms, they were gutted out down to the steel and rebuilt and they're incredible,' he said of his renovation of the property. 'I could have done what I called a paint and wallpaper job. You just paint and wallpaper it. But it was time — it was tired,' he said.
'I started using marble instead of carpet,' he added, continuing a line of thought that was irrelevant."

Gee, that's too bad that he rambled. I've been at deps where the attorney asks the witness the same question for nearky an hour and has a lot of questions to ask. Did they think this was Trump's first deposition rodeo? Did they think he wouldn't know the gist of the court rules and use that to stick it to the prosecuting lawyers? If they did then they ate utter morons worthy of getting played that hard.
Only until midnight? How horrible to have their time wasted.
He will run out the clock on the lawyers.

This made me laugh!
Why shouldn't Trump waste the time and money of the people wasting his time and money?

You could have, I don't know, just- not arrested him. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Since these cases are all political and of no legal merit, why not "baffle them with bullshit?" Waste their time as they are wasting his.
So Trump's richer than we thought?
Hahaha. You asked for discovery, you got it.
Trump's deposition transcript was released late Wednesday by the attorney general's office, which alleges that the former president, his two eldest sons, and two of his former top executives routinely inflated his net worth in financial fillings made on behalf of the Trump Organization, his international real-estate and golf-resort company.
The "fraudulent" math helped Trump trick banks into extending lower-cost loans that saved him hundreds of millions of dollars in interest, James alleges.
Gee whiz, in the real world, lenders will confirm the value of the property.
And, I'm gonna guess that a loan of a few million at3% is better than a loan of a hundred thousand at 4%.
These writers only have respect for those who grow rich on the public dime, no morals, much less ethics.
The prejudicial press publishes handmade tales to steer perception with the hope to influence reality.
In 2015 people said that Donald trump would never submit the finance statement required by Federal Election Commission.
And then he did. He submitted one detailing in about 100 pages, how he was worth a bit more than $9bn. "SAG Pension valued at X", "Building at this address valued at Y", "25% of this business valued at Z" and so on.
Enough info to choke 2-3 health horses.
Everyone poo-pooed it. Why, Forbes said he was only worth $3bn. (Though they didn't really say how they came up with that number)
Someone should sue Bush et al from the Repo primaries and Hilary from the general. He clearly lied on the federal filing. Showing that he had done so would have gotten him booted from the race with laughs of derision. It would have saved us 8 years of schturm and drang.
But nobody did that. Hmmmmm.... wonder why not? Could it be because he really was worth $9bn?
More or less, of course. The value of a thing is what it actually sells for. A building might sell for $100mm. Or $110 or $80. Nobody knows anything until someone signs on the line that is dotted and pays over a certain amount of cash or value.
This DA sounds like so much bullshit. How does he know more than the owner and/or the bank what a building is worth?

For the lawyers here:
When testifying does a witness have an obligation to make sure the lawyers get home in time to tuck the kids in bed?
Or do the have the obligation to afford a witness to give a full and complete answer?
Screw the lawyers. Make them stay til 3AM.
John Henry
It is just hilarious to see these corrupt lawyers complaining about too much discovery.
That Soros DA must be an expert on financial maters such as valuing real estate.
The process is the punishment, and not just for the accused. Let the lawyers and presstitutes suffer as well.
The bathrooms are very nice. Classic and tasteful if you can believe it…
The place was a challenge. Trump did okay. He made big improvements in service. When it was a Marriott property it was awful. One morning on the first tee of The Blue Monster I heard a C suite who was head of the corporate event in attendance getting chewed out by the first tee starter. ‘If you don’t like it don’t come back…’ I bet they didn’t…
I'm amused.
This is Democrats creating headlines for tomorrow's newspaper.
Depositions are rituals that almost always showcase regrettable aspects of human nature.
You should be reluctant to draw any positive or adverse inference from testimony such as this, which sounds to me like a tactical filibuster.
That was Trump's "Fuck Around" period.
Trump is now entering his "Find Out" era.
Let me get this straight. Banks loaned money and got their interest and paid back in full. But Trump said he thought their collateral was worth the amount to cover the loans risk. And although the Bank’s own Appraiser was the only one responsible for value of the collateral, Mr. Trump tricked the Banks in Manhattan.
That is 1000% Lawfare designed to rob Trump of his legal defense costs.
This entire case boils down to the fact that the ignorant affirmative-action mascots who hold power in New York do not understand the difference between managerial accounting and tax accounting, which are NEVER EVER EVER concordant with each other.
If they enforced this perverted view of the law fairly, every single business in the state that ever held a mortgage would be at risk of prosecution.
The "fraudulent" math helped Trump trick banks into extending lower-cost loans that saved him hundreds of millions of dollars in interest, James alleges.
I am glad that the NY government is doing its job in protecting the little guys - you know, the little banks that lend millions and billions of dollars to speculative real estate developers - from those bad rich folks who have perhaps almost as much money as the little guys.
Note that, despite allegedly defrauding these poor, unsophisticated NY banks financing billion dollar real estate development projected, Trump testified (apparently correctly, as there is no refutation in the article) that he repayed each and every loan. So he defrauded them by borrowing money and then paying it back with interest and on time?
"'In the case of the villas, 800 rooms, they were gutted out down to the steel and rebuilt and they're incredible,' he said of his renovation of the property. 'I could have done what I called a paint and wallpaper job. You just paint and wallpaper it."

so he lays out the bare bones instead of paper over it --- in a fraud deposition --- no less!!
so Trump is no Giuliani -
as in "Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy" was a remark made during the 1988 United States vice-presidential debate by Democratic candidate Senator Lloyd Bentsen"
If Trump said, “I’m guilty,” they’d still complain.
“That was Trump's "Fuck Around" period.
Trump is now entering his "Find Out" era.“
Thank you, Chuck Schumer.
continuing a line of thought that was irrelevant
He wants things done well. "Good enough" isn't good enough. I don't know if it's irrelevant or just another way of answering questions.

Hey! Ya drop the quarter. Ya get the whole song. Tell em to quit complainen'.
If they are deposing him about his business, they can damn well listen to him talk about his business, why else are they in court?
I have to ask, "a lawyer griped," or more accurately, "an opposition lawyer griped" ?
Trump was not there for the benefit of the opposition lawyers, and if he'd gone into Grampa Simpsons monologue about wearing onions on belts, all the oppo lawyer has to do is ask again in a manner better designed to elicit the desired response. They are getting paid by the hour, right?
"Now, had I gone with just new paint and wallpaper, it would have been the best, believe me.
Nobody does paint and wallpaper like me. In fact, we even thought about using paint and wallpaper that looks like marble.
That would have been great too, don't get me wrong.
But in the end, I went with my gut. It's gotten me this far, so we went with real marble. Just wait until you see it..."
Strange that. So they were challenging him claiming that he over-valued a property and he then "went on" about all of the work they put in that would increase the value of a property.
Wow, what a nut-case.
