I think Rachel made a big mistake tonight

She focused a lot of time on an absurd valuation of a Trump mansion in Westchester.

But I suspect that the Trump financial statement she focused on tonight, showing an alleged valuation of $291 million for Trump’s estate in Bedford, NY, contained a typo reversing the numbers for that estate and the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Manhattan. That building is shown with a $27 million + valuation, which better fits the Bedford Estate, while the estate’s valuation is more likely for a hotel and condominium skyscraper on Central Park.

The total assets reported on the form would not be affected by this typo, so the submission to a bank would not be a crime.

by Anonymousreply 84March 2, 2019 10:19 PM

Sorry, but Trump never corrected the typo.

Rachel is right in that the SDNY is good at prosecuting typos like these.

Fishy that that was the year of the Deutsche Bank application.

by Anonymousreply 3March 1, 2019 3:11 AM

It doesn’t matter that he didn’t correct the typo because the bottom line (total assets) is not affected by switching the values of two assets.

by Anonymousreply 4March 1, 2019 3:26 AM

Even if you reverse the numbers, they make no sense. The Bedford Estate is (according to the Westchester towns who tax it) worth about $19.5 million. Trump's financial disclosure forms list it as worth $50 million. As for Trump Tower, it should be worth about $450 million, so why would it be listed in loan documents as worth $291 million? It all suggests a world in which every number is arbitrary, made up, and has no relationship to reality.

by Anonymousreply 5March 1, 2019 3:27 AM

And since he didn't buy the Buffalo Bills, did he even take out the loan?

by Anonymousreply 6March 1, 2019 3:30 AM

R4, banks do not look simply at the "bottom line". They evaluate, among other things, the quality and relative liquidity of your assets, which is why you should carefully proof-read your financial statements.

R6, it's my understanding that he was not able to get the loan, but that does not matter. Manafort didn't get his loans, either; he was still convicted of bank fraud.

I don't really watch the networks anymore, but I've watched MSNBC the last couple of nights just to see the coverage of the Cohen thing and I found Maddow's constant laughing tonight quite annoying. I think she's such an intelligent woman, but she needs to stop that silliness. It takes away from what she's saying.

by Anonymousreply 8March 1, 2019 3:36 AM

As the NY AG gets ready to roll out charges against Baby Trump,Ivanka the stepford wife and Kushner the failed middle east deal maker.I think Trump's properties and the tax scams pulled with mortgaging them will become very important. Thats how they laundered money,thats the fruit of this whole mess.Getting inflated mortgages,tax breaks and inflated valuations.An aparently Fred Trump taught Donald everything.So Maddow didn't make a mistake,she is setting the stage for what's to come.But its okay OP,are you Hannity?

Any bank officer examining the report closely would spot the error and understand that it was the mansion that was worth $27 million (and yes, this is probably overstated, but not to a criminal extent), and the hotel tower that was worth $290 million, not the other way around. It’s an obvious and immaterial error in this context.

She made a big deal about the transcript being edited, which was a lie, then her whole chad report was shouted down as nonsense. People are always talking about what a genius she is for "seeing connections no one else has" but has ANY OF HER SPECULATIVE REPORTING AND CONNECTION-MAKING borne out?

Bagman. The research on which led to the discussion of the 1973 Justice Dept. memo on whether Agnew could be charged, and the implications for Trump. The common wisdom that Trump can't be indicted in office is far from legally settled precedent.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Rachel's reporting on Trump's mysteriously massive "inauguration fund" (Who was contributing? Where was the money going? It clearly wasn't going to the entertainment). Remember the $10 million payment to a "friend" of Melania who did nothing?) She was on this story from the moment Trump entered office, and she provided details about it for months while most ignored it. And, yet, in December of last year, a formal federal investigation into the fund has now been opened.

Dr. Maddow is a news analyst and historian. Her staff scours the developing news to tie to things most other people have forgotten.

She is brilliant at this.

If you want original investigatory content, listen to her six p[[art series on Agnew entitled Bagman.

The people she has interviewed for that and subsequently the DOJ lawyers who crafted the original "YOU CANNOT INDICT A SITTING PRESIDENT" policy have current implications.

Dr. Maddow is brilliant.
