Mazars said "They can no longer stand behind the financial statements they put out for Trump in the last 10 years" ...

No matter what else is in the letter, the firm is clearly saying "Do Not rely on the statements we put it..."

Mazars said it had based its conclusion on a January filing by the New York attorney general, its own investigation and information from internal and external sources.

"While we have not concluded that the various financial statements, as a whole, contain material discrepancies, based upon the totality of the circumstances we believe our advice to you to no longer rely upon those financial statements is appropriate," Mazars said in the letter addressed to the chief legal officer at the Trump Organization, Alan Garten.


You re getting hung up on the phrase "While we have not concluded" - It's an ongoing investigation, but they HAVE concluded that you may NO LONGER RELY ON THOSE STATEMENTS" - So that means, at one point, it was okay to rely on them. Now, they are saying, BASED on their own internal investigation, you should NO LONGER rely on them.

If they were confident they were accurate, then they would have no need to put out that statment. I don't understand how you can ignore the body of the entire memo and hyperfocus on a phrase that is not definitive. The phrase "We have not concluded" ... that means it's an indefinite...they are still getting data to REACH A CONCLUSION. There is NO CONCLUSION reached YET ...

When they are ready to "Conclude", they can say "We have CONCLUDED that the financial statements are accurate" ... or "are inaccurate" ... 

So there is enough doubt in their mind, as to the accuracy, that they should not be relied upon.

This is basic Logic Old guy .. it's not "let's spin this so that it fits my narrative"

Trump has had a lifetime of success, a rating of 97% successful business.  From the time he started to run for President until now, he has been investigated, lied about, basically attacked with more bull shit than anyone.  For years now story after story has been proven to be untrue!  The double standard of how he is treated is amazing.

Now we have a overzealous attorney after years of failed investigations has come up with, estimated values on financial states may be untrue.  Are you kidding me!  Really nobody cares, even the banks that made the loans don't appear to care!  This is not a issue, with normal people.

I bet that if your resume, itemized taxes, or credit application were deeply veiwed, one could find errors!

I find the letter from Mazars, brilliant, if you support Trump the letter covers it, if you don't, you are still covered.  But the letter clears Mazars in everybody's mind.

"Trump has had a lifetime of success, a rating of 97% successful business."

He embezzled, er- 'misused' funds from one of his charitable corporations.  Stealing from the lame, halt, blind or otherwise handicapped is really low. Not sure if it's lower than being a rapist- lotsa allegations and settlements to buy off the victims- but being a success isn't the same as being moral or honest.

Who would know better than one's accountant that one's tax information might not be reliable?

Would Mazars face off against Trump is it was not necessary? Nope.

 

 

 

"This is not a issue, with normal people."

Trump is not "normal people" No politician is "normal people" unless they are drafted, nominated and elected against their will. You know, Gen. Sherman's  "I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected." Trump is vigorously seeking power thru the presidency. He has suggested that if he is not the 2024 Republican candidate, he will run as a third party:

Trump told RNC chair he was leaving GOP to create new party, says new book

In his new book, Jonathan Karl shares what Trump said before backing down.

It has been said that as time goes by more and more people will see just what kind of and how many lies about Trump are told.  This is holding true as more people are wishing they would have voted for him again, instead of the brain dead person we got!  I see as info comes out you have not learned anything and may not.  

I now know when I am asked "Who are these people that still support Biden and still dislike Trump!"

I can say Crow!

Crow states his sources and the information can be found elsewhere as well. It's just that when your narrative is destroyed by facts, you just don't like to talk to people anymore.

At least put some ice in your Trump Kool-Aid®n>!

No, Trump's approval rating isn't rising, at least not appreciably. Whatever polls taken have been mostly flat since his election, although some polls show a substantial drop after his Covid Recession- when your administration is directly responsible for the highest unemployment rate and the sharpest economic contraction since the Great Depression, people remember that stuff.

 

 

I didn't lose any family members, but America is creeping towards a million dead, presently 964,823. America had and continues to have the most cases and the most deaths since the virus spread from China. Give an epidmic a couple months to establish itself (January 19 2020 wasa the first confirmed case in America) and no nation on earth can control it.

 “I wanted to always play it down,” the president said. “I still like playing it down because I don’t want to create a panic.”

And that's America, a provider of state of the art medical care allowed a million people to die, almost half which could have been prevented. Acknowledging an oncoming epidemic, allowing the deployment federal public health measures would be bad in an election year.

Trump's favorability:



 

Or, to present another opinion of that flat approval rating here's another graph:


 

Wait until the indictments drop...
