Rule 1

Daddy State Awareness, rule 1

Every accusation is a confession.

The Trump Crime Family spends inordinate amounts of time and energy trying to smear everybody else as dopes and criminals - while being deeply involved in dopily criminal behavior themselves.

That's why they've been working to hard to get Ukraine (eg) to phony up some shit on Hunter Biden - which efforts have so far gotten President Stoopid impeached, and which, if Republicans had half the integrity of Snidely Whiplash, would have resulted in the removal from office of the sorriest excuse for a chief magistrate ever.

NEW YORK — A state judge on Wednesday ordered Eric Trump to be deposed no later than Oct. 7 in the New York attorney general's examination of the Trump Organization's financial practices, rejecting a protest by President Trump's son, who has said he is too busy to meet with investigators until after November's election.

The ruling was handed down by New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron after nearly two hours of arguments in a lawsuit brought by state investigators conducting the civil investigation.

The president’s company is managed now by his two sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., both of whom have taken active roles in their father’s reelection efforts. An attorney for Eric Trump said during Wednesday’s hearing that the president’s son travels nearly seven days a week to make campaign-related appearances.

Gotta love it when these privileged assholes argue they can't bother with obeying the law cuz they're just so darned busy all the time.

“This court finds that application unpersuasive,” Engoron said, referring to Eric Trump’s stated need to put off an interview until mid-November. He added that he felt Eric Trump’s attorney had cited no legal authority to support a bid to delay the deposition.

“Neither petitioner nor this court is bound by timeliness of the national election,” the judge said.

The judge also ordered that the Trump Organization and related business entities that were withholding documents and claiming attorney-client privilege proceed with producing records to the attorney general.

The lawsuit was filed in August by New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), after lawyers in her office said they had hit a roadblock with attorneys for the Trump Organization and other potential witnesses in their pursuit of testimony and documents.
