Virtually ever authorized scholar and pundit says THERE IS NO (ZERO!) CASE AGAINST ME. The Judge fabricated the information, and the legislation, no completely different than the opposite New York Judicial and Prosecutorial Witch Hunts. That’s why companies are fleeing New York, taking with them hundreds of thousands of jobs, and BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TAXES. The authorized system is damaged, and companies can’t take an opportunity in getting caught up on this quicksand. IT’S ALL RIGGED, on this case in opposition to a political opponent, ME!!!”

His unlawful raid of my house, Mar-a-Lago, will go down as one of many “dirtiest methods” ever perpetrated by one candidate, a dumb as a rock, Sleepy Joe Biden, on one other. With all of this stated, I nonetheless trust that the Appellate Courts will convey JUSTICE TO AMERICA!!!”
