I think the ones they’ve found have thrown off his plans.
@LegalEagle The allegations? They remind us that New York has been allowing the Trumps (and the rest of the oligarchy) to get away with this kind of thing for close to a century. They'll get a slap on the wrist, perhaps. The near-total lack of accountability among the rich is the key point here, and your failure to lead with it earns you a well-deserved, resounding Downvote.
Imagine being sued so many times that you can serve as your own precedent

Every time he speaks (or tweets, let’s be honest), you can be damn sure that intent to defraud is present.

Pleading the 5th 440 times in a 4-hour span means he was basically saying it every 30 seconds.
I teach at a local college and have to talk about 3 hours straight for each class, and I can just imagine how physically and mentally exhausted Trump must've been doing that.
@@Vesperitis Huge props for being a teacher. Teachers need so much more love!
he did have a tendency to repeat himself i can imagine him doing that
@@Vesperitis If all he had to do was say "I plead the fifth." then it's hardly exhausting. Now, remembering the words might have exhausted him, because he only gets animated when talking about himself in a manner that allows him to insult/denigrate other people. If he's not being nasty, he's not being Dumpy Donny Trumpy.
Now I have the mental image of him acting out that Chapelle sketch :D
"I plead the fiiiiiiif!"
"Keeping two sets of books" is right up there with "Heading to my shed in the mountains to work on my manifesto" in the list of key indicators that you're walking an ill-fated path.
My dentist kept two sets of books and ended up owing $300,000 plus in back taxes and fines and spent a short stint in federal prison. Not sure why she did it as she was and is an excellent dentist. Her partner did the same. Lesson: don’t cheat on your taxes. Eventually they will figure it out, especially with the hiring of more agents.
@@maleficent7484 the actual skill of the person doesn't really matter when it comes to tax fraud/evasion. all that matters is whether or not you give in to greed, because *thats* what dictates whether or not you'd be willing to commit a financial crime

Ok - show me I'm wrong....).

@@Gift0r exponentially worse
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket The fifth is used to allow a person to refuse to answer if it would self incriminate. Meaning, if the prosecuter asks you did you commit this crime, you can refuse to answer because to lie and say no, is perjury. when the lawyer asks open general questions, like, what did you see? You can't play the fifth. But if they ask you where were you, and you were doing that, or a entirely different crime that they don't know about, you can then.
I really hope this comes to something for the sake of justice. Forget politics…the rich keep getting away with all their BS.

As a tax accountant, I'm delightfully intrigued by how this'll go. Goes without saying that there activities are all hella fraudulent, you don't have to be an accountant to see that lol
The problem is his followers don't care that he is the most corrupt politician in US history, "he revealed how corrupt, we already knew, Pelosi was"
Yet there is no victim and no bank has claimed they were ever defrauded. All loans were paid back. So where is the allege crime if there is no victim?

I actually was internal auditor with Merrill Lynch for 12 years dealt with Trump companies, Enron and Arthur Andersen Enrons auditors. Before that while at Merrill Lynch I worked in Money Market securities department dealt with Savings and Loan bailouts. I still can't figure out why Trump fraud isn't criminal
Looks like LegalEagle is expanding his scope, and his RUclips team. The next step, of course, is lockpicking.
I hear there's a guy for that....
(IIRC, LPL was specifically a contract lawyer for media corporations, or something to that effect.)
The problem with our justice system is, if that I had broken any of the laws that Trump might have committed (I know I know), I would already been in jail. I can't afford top lawyers to delay delay delay. I think some discussion about the faults of system would be interesting. I know you touch on it with certain cases, but would be interested in your thoughts on what could be better.
They bring up the unfairness of those with and those without money all the time, particularly when two parties facing off are those of widely-unequal financial standing.
The only way to break those laws in the first place is to be rich.
@@KOVIK Can anything be done to make the situation fairer? It seems to me that there is a distinction between legitimate appeals (unaffordable to many) and un-serious delaying tactics. Delaying tactics which include deliberate non-compliance (which incurred the $10,000 a day fine) and insincere appeals. There may be technical solutions to the delaying tactics, and there is a good argument for legal aid for legitimate appeals for those who could not otherwise afford them. But these are overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the legal representation and court time that money can buy. The injustice is essentially a function of wealth inequality. As long as wealth exists and can facilitate access to the system, injustice will be felt in cases like these.
Maybe reforms such as heavy fines for delays which were later proven frivolous, or more affordability-scaling of financial penalties, or the rationalisation of the hierarchy of different courts (i.e. have fewer levels of courts), could help? But these would face overwhelming opposition from those who would stand to lose: corporations and the wealthy. Or worse, the implementation of these ideas would get twisted in the process of law making and lobbying, so that the rich were exempt in practice.
The entire state and federal system of laws and courts was constructed, from the constitution onwards, by and for wealth owners. Ironically the meaningful rule of law is now threatened by monopolists (think Peter Thiel) and outdated historical wealth such as the Trumps and the Kochs. As wealth consolidates, the principles of competition and liberal freedom are undermined or made irrelevant by economic reality. Economic liberalism makes sense where the market distributes power as widely as possible between equal (or at least comparable) participants. As such, liberalism becomes irrelevant, not only to those who lack the invulnerability of extreme wealth but also to those who have it. I hope America is able to think seriously and openly about what comes next and how to keep power (and therefore exercisable rights) distributed widely. Trusting the government and the judiciary of the day to do the right thing has been proven insufficient.
@@KOVIK perfect example is traffic fines. $200 is a lot for someone on minimum wage but nothing for someone making $100,000.
Totally agree, you wouldn't have had the chance to do all this illegal stuff because your would have been in jail way earlier. Justice may be blind but that scale is obviously used to measure wealth.
This is possibly the most anticipated suit of 2022 that wasn't masterfully crafted by Indochino.
Or Saul Goodman

To be fair, the Alex Jones lawsuit was also pretty anticipated
High quality comment
This comment had me in stitches.
''The greatest witch hunt in the history of America'' he say, and thus calling this lawsuit worse than the actual witch hunts.
Really putting the idea of burning him at the stake in the heads of people who already retweet guillotine memes 🤷♀
TBF, his peepee is an outie, so naturally anything that happens to him is ten times worse than whatever happened to people with innies.
They say ‘the mill grinds slow but exceedingly fine.’ In this case, I can only hope that the mill grinds them all as finely as it has been slow. Bunch of criminals the whole lot
A witch hunt is when someone looks for something that doesn't actually exist, but uses any and all means necessary to find what they're looking for. When that person is looking for something that does exist and actually FINDS it, thats not a witch hunt.
James's investigation is much more like a cow hunt. ...in Missouri. If you go looking for cows here, you're gonna find some cows. Lmao
Also the Salem Witch Trials included a man being pressed to death. I'm not an expert or anything, but Donald Trump does not look like a man who has been crushed by rocks for three days.
OR Trump is telling us that witches are real! Lol

@@JessicaPradoHanson If he did, his followers would certainly believe it!

I’ve listened to this video a few times and I have to say Spencer has really grown on me, so I’d be fine with him doing more videos.
But I must file a motion to compel: whenever he is introduced he must be referred to as Scowl Owl
My favorite part is that, when accused of undervaluing assets to defraud the Government of Tax dollars and/or overvaluing assets to defraud financial institutions, his defense and main talking point has been that defrauding banks is too hard because they do their due diligence to verify property value. Which is, effectively, an admission of guilt of tax fraud
As much as I would like to agree with you, that's bending logic a bit too far. That's like saying someone is automatically guilty for trying to give reason. Off the top of my head - something stupid would be like an HOA or something - "Hey, I got this fine on my door for repeat offenses of not keeping my lawn mowed. But, I have kept my lawn mowed - all you have to do is look in your records! Those fiends come around every week diligently to make sure there's not some kind of little thing they can charge you for, and I've never been charged for anything..." etc.
I don't know, random example out of nowhere, but we gotta do better than that if we don't want to get pilloried be the dolts. :)
My favorite part of your post is the one where you pretend to know what you're talking about. BTW, your bias is showing. Better zip up. 😅
@@MandrakeDCR But the logical point is that a property can't have two realisable values simultaneously. If you're acting in good faith and you've got a valuation endorsed by a bank, then that's what you declare for government/tax purposes... or vice versa. Really, for both (and insurance purposes) the most recent 'snapshot' should be used... with a bit of wriggle-room for rising/falling prices.
Sure, the actual court case(s) are much more complex in terms of proving the allegations, but in terms of setting off any ordinary person's BS detector that explanation from Trump should be sufficient.
@@jajabez8379 That's my point. We have to go on the assumption that this is the absolute truth that there are two different values which haven't been provided yet.
Plus, we also have the problem of the previous attempt to 'get him' on tax records... where it ended up that he was not only paying his taxes, but he was paying an order of magnitude more than what he needed to in some years, just in case so as to offset some of his projects.
Basically, I'm kinda tired of getting kicked around, every time there's a 'revelation!' or lawsuit and people keep jumping onto the logical fallacies that don't have any basis unless we have the underlying truth of it first. I'm tired of everyone following everyone blindly. It's rubbing off on both sides now.
This is another distraction from what we should be focusing on - our policies and people, not a bunch of Trump crap. That's what he loves. Meh.
@@MandrakeDCR ..... This *IS* the tax case. Or rather *will be*.
Trump has been appealing every court case before they could start, often up to the suprime court just as a delay tactic.
He has yet to be on trial in these criminal cases. And Trump has yet to *win* any civil case.

I would like to thank this channel for all the legal knowledge it shares. I'm taking a module at uni that includes law, and even though it's in England and is about English law while this channel covers US law, there has been a number of times where I've recognised a word, definition, or concept from this channel. It's made what other students think is a boring and pointless module into something that I'm finding really interesting. While I don't have any intention of studying law as a main subject, I enjoying learning about it.
To be fair a lot of the U S criminal law is based on English common law.
OBJECT: TOO WHOLESOME
@@bsansovich And much of US civil law, but for the state of Louisiana law, based on the Code Napoleon.
They don’t call it the Anglo-American legal system for nothing! Some of my 1L textbooks had English cases in them to teach us where some of our jurisprudence came from.
@@JudgeJulieLit Really? Well that's interesting, although I suppose it makes sense when you consider that Louisiana is the only state where French is the second most common language.
Just popped up on my YT feed…..and huzzah, this suit is toppling Trump right now.
Nice prediction.👏👏👏👏
It's just so good to watch this again, considering the recent ruling!😁
It aged rather well, didn't it?? 🤣
Spencer’s got that “explaining the facts to a jury” delivery down pat! I’d love to hear ScowlOwl talk about some true criminal cases, rather than just crime-adjacent civil cases, since that’s his area.
The fraud is blatantly offensive, but what irks me more is that I feel like this practice of accounting tomfoolery is quite widespread among people who have a lot of real estate. It would be nice if more prosecutors could find it in them to get such people back on the accounting straight and narrow.
Tiffany was smart, avoiding her family the whole Presidency
I think he avoided HER because she didn't get his tiny mushroom rustling like Daddy's favorite Barbie Ivanka
The pace of how the information was laid out was perfect. I was able to follow along really well so thank you!

I can't help but look at the potential non-criminal conclusion of this case and think: Ugh, he's just going to get a slap on the wrist like every other large corporation gets in response to horrific acts, isn't he?
Given the history of that horribly ineffective process (how the fines are always orders of magnitude less than the damage caused) I'm assuming that the fine he'll face is small enough that it really won't kill his companies. These kinds of cases will always bankrupt SMALL companies, but never large ones.
like the Sacklers oxi case.
Tish, NY AG tried to bankrupt him. His fine was near 1/2 billion dollars but the appeals court stepped in and lowered the bond to 175 million.
Something fishy going on...

You beat me to it lol
I wonder if he'll wait til punitive damages are decided by a judge for a long video
I feel certain that Alex will just bankrupt himself to not pay, sell off the Infowars business to a GOP rich guy for $1, then buy it back once the bankruptsy clears and he is reset again and then just continue on with no rammifications at all.

@@kirillmitchell888 Flagrantly false statement. This video itself mentions the Trump University case where Trump lost on appeal, and subsequently settled.
Trump is a loser, just like his supporters.
Good for you, Devin, for washing your hands of this monster! I appreciate the detailed info, and I’m eager to see it play out.
He did in fact not wash his hand of trump, he saw the numbers these videos did and couldn’t get enough.
@@bobbyhill368 Either that, or it was just too fascinating to stop talking about. Which I can believe. The subject's led to a lot of really interesting content.
I was having the feeling that Trump's unique writing style about legal matters reminded me of something I'd read a long time ago, and then I remembered this: "My morals and constitutional rights has been broken. I ain't taking any procedure in this trial. I am standing mute to anything further." That was the entirety of Angelo Buono's testimony at his two-year-long trial for the Hillside Strangler murders, when he took the stand during the penalty phase after being convicted of nine of the ten murders.
"better luck next time, Tiffany." _I am deceased_
I hope that in 10 yrs time, she will feel SO lucky to be the only Trump to fly under the radar.
Maybe Barron will stay clear as well and just lay low and manage to go back to forgotten mode, like Chelsea Clinton or the Bush twins.
@@barath4545 Nah, it is hard to have to visit your brothers, sisters and father behind the prison bar. Imagine the amount of looks you would get from other people.
@@barath4545 Barron's a tall kid. I'd love to see him grow to seven feet and end up in the NBA.
It's nice to see the LegalEagle Cinematic Universe is expanding! Great job! 😄
“Welcome back to ‘food law with Babish…’”
Hmmm I can’t watch the video. It’s says: “We’re processing this video. Check back later.”
video doesn't play on any browser. can you reload?
I really want this to be what gets him after decades of not being held accountable, but I’m still waiting for something to go wrong. Again.
he's behind the success of too many high status people for him to spend time in prison tbh
we live in a kleptocratic gentocracy lol
Same 🤦♀️ I want this to be the nail that seals the coffin but he’s so good at weaseling his way out of things by acting like an idiot
Isn’t it always taxes that brings the mob down? 🙏🏼
@@bookcat123 only one famous example.
@@bookcat123 that’s what got Capone. The mob is generally far more careful about taxes now. Something that is often used to catch them however is money laundering
The fact people STILL want this man to run again in 2024 is mind boggling.
You should be thrilled for such a vulnerable candidate to be out there.
@@wisenber True, but there’s still a risk because of his cultists. Personally, if I had the choice, I’m not sure that risk is worth taking.
I wonder that as well, dudes a complete narcissistic nutter
Way I see it, he’ll either be in prison or the ground by 2024. Considering his appearance and seemingly deteriorating brain functionality, he can’t have that long left, no?
@@Legend-bw8kh
Why's the video disappeared?
Weird, when I started watching this vid when it came out there was no problem. Then I paused it and started watching it today on my phone while cooking. I only got a still image (which my phone registered as being idle and switched itself off every so often - super annoying), now on my PC browser it says that it cannot be played. No problems with other YT vids though...
This was awesome, I laughed my ass off " nope not going to talk about it nope but someone else can" who knew lawyers had a good sense of humor lol
Lawyers can have great senses of humor.
I'm not happy that a new speaker was brought into the Eagle Cinematic Universe without some sort of teaser trailer of Devin recruiting him like Nick Fury.
"I want to speak to you about the Bird Initiative....."
RUclips won't let me watch this video on chrome or opera. Anyone know what's up?
Anyone else getting "Your browser can't play this video. "? I have a Sneaking suspicion it was stricken. Striking a legal channel though, is a bad idea. If this is true, I hope Legal Eagle absolutely destroys the party who tried this.
Yes.
I'm having a slightly different issue. I can only see the thumbnail. The audio is playing without issue. It's like listening to a podcast.
@@samanthakennedy121 getting this on my phone, pc won't play it at all.
@@Theclarkproject Interesting. I just tested my PC, same problem. Something's definitely up.
Yep. I can play every single other video I try but not this one. Not on Firefox, not on Chrome, not even on the cursed Microsoft Edge. On my phone I get "We're processing this video. Check back later." We'll see how that goes. In the meantime, very annoying indeed.
I could watch Devin speak on legal matters all day, every day. And, Spencer is an excellent fill-in!! Spencer, please get your channel running!
I am perplexed. How is repeatedly and knowingly committing fraud not a criminal act?
Why can the DA not press charges for doing so?
I think because it's not technically their circus, nor their monkeys, as it were. Like
was stated in the video, they handed over a lot of this evidence to the IRS and other authorities. I think they also need a victim to press charges in order to go to trial, but I could be wrong on that. Plus, a criminal case might not give them the relief they'd prefer, that being for all these people to be unable to operate a business or borrow from New York institutions ever again. That's more often a civil punishment than a legal one, from what I can figure.
These guys are excellent commenters and information distributors. Credibility and decency personified.
I keep getting the message “We’re processing this video. Check back later.”
Checked a web scraper, the video literally no longer exists. The audio file is still there, but the video is gone.
@@BenoHourglass That would explain how I can listen to the vid on mobile, but can't watch it on desktop.
Interesting.
@@Kourindouinc Video's back.
Less than 1 minute into the video and I just want to say that I love the intro, especially Spencer's moniker. The Scowl Owl? Adorable and perfect.
Never forget: the lord of the magats called in to a New York radio show ON 9/11, mere hours after the towers fell, and bragged that the tallest building in nyc now belonged to him, with the towers out of the way.
Which- shocker- wasn’t even true.
Listening to that interview will turn your stomach. For normal people at least
Can you send us the title to look it up on RUclips or elsewhere (since you probably can't send a link to it)?
you have proof for this broder, or are you just spouting shit?
@@WindsorMason people are so lazy, just look up "trump sept 11th call" but here watch?v=PcKlPhFIE7w
If this one video being unplayable is on purpose, then why? It seems really shady that it's "blocked" like this
I've listened to this like 5 times... It is like watching a great movie again and again...
It's remarkable how I could imagine the cadence that LegalEagle would deliver this script and then compare/contrast that with this reading
You have a good ear for writing then! Plenty of people can't tell one narrative voice from another, not that it's a highly useful skill to have. But, yes, you can tell the script writing beats are mostly the same, with some input from other parties, probably what Devin felt he needed to include.
The cadence of Devin's videos is one of my favorite parts! He gets to the point quickly and doesn't waste my time!
I really appreciate how thorough all the videos on this channel are. The quality is honestly incredible.
Lol, and i can fly :)
...he thinks the value of a club is only 3x it's annual revenue. I hope he sells his own properties at such an insanely low price that they pay for themselves in 3 years.
What quality? They have gotten everything wrong.
@@kirillmitchell888 The guy is simply reporting what's in the lawsuit, which are claims in of themselves sure, but are not usually made unless the state is absolutely sure it has a case here. It seems more like you don't like the outcome of this suit and thus want to dispute reality like it's an opinion.
@@kirillmitchell888 Citation needed. They provided facts, evidence and precedent to support their statements.
You have provided ... Trump BS.
The legal issue I’m fuzzy on is, what’s to stop him from just throwing lawyers at the problem forever? Appeal the appeals until hell freezes over? For him, another lawsuit, another indictment, it must be Tuesday, right?
The US court system only has the legal obligation to grant you a single appeal. They may grant more, but they aren't obligated to do so. Most of the time, you only get one shot at an appeal. If the relevant Supreme Court doesn't want to hear it, either on a state or federal level, they don't have to. And most of the time, they don't. So, no, you can't just keep appealing ad nauseam. That'd be a massive waste of the court's time, and of money.
@@Nixeu42 I’m glad to hear it
This video also refuses to play on my computer. Very suspicious knowing RUclips's history of favoritism towards far right politics.
What this taught me is that cheaters don't just prosper, but are above the law and bragging about it will get you a cult like following.
I can see an upside to your first two points, but I'd reaally prefer not to have those types of people following me in your last point.
You mean like Biden.
@@LordRykard9376 they got you right in the feels
@@conscientiously You think any of them feel regret? The only ones feeling regret are the ones who got caught, and they only feel regret that they weren't more careful with their traces..
@@LordRykard9376 Like with that Ukraine and China deal. He his friends and his son get a pass though, nothing to talk about here.
There was an idea. Dylan knows this, called the Avian Initiative. The idea was to bring together a group of remarkable lawyers, to see if they could become something more. See if they could work together when we needed them to explain litigation on youtube that we never could.
Their rivals would be the hammer collective.
@@benjaminmadrigalperez9010 Kraken is the new Hydra
@@benjaminmadrigalperez9010 Nice callback.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg died believing in that idea. In heroes
My browser wont play this video, it will play every other video I click on, except this one.
I can't watch this video for some technical reason. My smart TV says an error occurred; and my browser says "your browser cannot play this video" and links to the page that checks your browser compatibility but that page says my browser is OK for RUclips. I'm not experiencing problems with any other video.
Edit: On my smartphone, there's audio but the image is just the thumbnail.
Spencer is great, it could be awesome if you regularly had other lawyers do pieces on your channel like this!
Agreed, we need a full flock of lawyers (though the solo content Legal Eagle does is great as well)
I disagree. I don't watch this channel to see other lawyers
If I wanted to see them, I'd seek them out
the moniker "Scowl Owl" needs to be explained. I love it, but one cannot simply drop something like that without context
Maybe there could be specialists all bringing in interesting stories from their own area of law
@@cptnoname I'm guessing this is a backdoor pilot to Spencer's "Scowl Owl" channel.
I love how you call the Trumps’ keeping of two sets of books a “classic two sets of books situation.” (around 15:22) 😂😂❤ brilliant episode thanks Legal Eagle!
Question: is anyone else having trouble getting this video to cast? It consistently gives me an error when I try to cast it to my TV, but it works when I play it directly on my phone.
Yep
I just can’t play the video
Did this video get taken down or something?
20:28 I like how NY has a law that says it’s illegal to break the law.
how would the rich know otherwise?
Technically it says it's illegal to plan with others to break the law.
Pretty much every state has some variation of this
@@InternetsDadGaming isn't that just conspiracy
Remember, it's illegal to lick doorknobs on other planets
Also it's illegal to be a criminal in Sweden I believe
love seeing Mr Owl join us more often, he is just as charming yet engaging as you!
How dare you.
@@LegalEagle You're right, that was out of line. Mr Owl is of course much more charming.
@@fix0the0spade X to doubt. Obviously both Owl and Devon are equally as awesome
@@LegalEagle We dare because we want that Trump legal take.
@LegalEagle What happened to Scowl Owl? Your link lands at a page with no content.
Terrific there are so many piece to this puzzle there all over the place & it would take a super computer to put the piece together.
Great job guys 👍
Thanks for including the actual wording of the laws/suits/movements in your videos. Nice to get some info that isn't paraphrased into pointlessness
Thank you for the clarification regarding golf clubs. Because my immediate thought was “they’re golf clubs, how much could they cost? $10?”
Finally, Legal Eagle got himself a sidekick!
I dunno, as a prosecutor there's a constant duality/tension as well as constant respect/friendship. They're both heroes who serve an important purpose. Reminds me of the Tony Stark/Steve Rodgers relationship; both heroes who approach what they do from different directions, sometimes don't always agree, but when they work together they kick some serious ass.
"Your browser can't play this video." I'm getting 404 error type weirdness going on. Especially when I click learn more and they say that my browser is up to date.
Seriously keep this guy helping with update. Dude explains stuff so good and makes it so easy to understand.
It's nice to see Mike doing longer form and slower paced scripted content. The tiktok channel is fun, but I like this format a lot
Fantastic analysis, thanks Scowl Owl! Didn't know about the 5th amendment's potential implications in a civil case, that would have massive implications.
Any chance you two could partner up (given experience as a Judge Advocate) to do a review of an episode of JAG?
He's done JAG episodes before.
This was recorded twelve months ago, however it was extremely interesting to view it a year later. The assessment and presentation of facts was brilliant. Thank you.
