The Breakdown
A highlight from Crypto and the Major Questions Doctrine
"Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, N .L .W. It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. What's going on, guys? It is Monday, August 7th. And today we are talking about the latest in Coinbase's fight against the SEC. A quick note before we dive in. Sponsorship is back open again on The Breakdown. You've heard over the last few weeks a number of sponsors of the show, and we are currently booking out for the fall and into the beginning of next year. If your company is looking to reach easily the smartest audience in the crypto space, shoot me a DM or send us a note at sponsors at breakdown network. And with that, let's get into this show. Now, this morning, a really significant thing happened. And that is, of course, PayPal's announcement of PiUSD, which is their new stablecoin offering built on Ethereum. Right now, the leading contender for the most important trend of this bear market is TradFi muscling in on the territory that was seeded by crypto native companies behaving badly. And this could obviously be another big example of that. Now, this news just happened after I had already prepared today's show, so we will get all into that tomorrow. But for now, we have some big things from the end of last week to catch up on. On Saturday, CoinFund CEO Jake Brookman tweeted, This might be one of the most important documents ever produced that explains why digital assets are, in general, not securities. The document he was talking about came from Coinbase, and it was a request from that company to dismiss the SEC's case against them. Coinbase chief legal officer Paul Grewal wrote, Today Coinbase filed our brief asking the court to dismiss the SEC's case against us. Our core argument is simple. We do not offer investment contracts as that term has been construed by decades of Supreme Court and other binding precedent. By ignoring that precedent, the SEC has violated due process, abused its discretion and abandoned its own earlier interpretation of the securities laws. By ignoring that precedent, the SEC has trampled the strict boundaries on its basic authority set by Congress. So there is a lot in here. And even in that short thread, you can see that there's really at least two big things going on. The first is an argument about what is or isn't a security, and the second is about where the SEC's authority really begins and ends. So let's take a step back and get into it. Coinbase has officially asked the court to dismiss the SEC's lawsuit against them. On Friday, they filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings, which raised questions about the validity of the lawsuit and indeed whether the SEC even has the jurisdiction to police the crypto space. The Coinbase motion argues along two dimensions. First, they argue that cryptos are not securities. Now, the argument for Coinbase rests on the familiar Howey test analysis, which we've seen across all token cases to date. Howey, you'll remember, identifies investment contracts as a class of security sales which are subject to SEC regulation. And for a sale to be considered an investment contract under Howey, it has to satisfy a number of different elements. It must be an investment of money. That investment of money must be in a common enterprise. There must be the expectation of profit, and specifically the expectation of profit must be derived from the efforts of others. In other words, this isn't something that you are putting work into yourself and expecting to benefit from thusly. In their motion, Coinbase argued that sales of tokens on their platform, quote, do not involve contractual undertakings to deliver future value, reflecting the income, profits or assets of a business. They are commodity sales with the obligations on both sides discharged entirely the moment the digital token is delivered in exchange for payment. Now, of course, they also discussed last month's decision in the Ripple lawsuit. In essence, the judge in that case decided the tokens in and of themselves are not securities, but they are sometimes sold alongside promises from an issuer, which would make those particular sales subject to SEC regulations. Coinbase argued that the facts in Ripple were, quote, substantially identical to those alleged here. Specifically, one of the key decisions in the Ripple case was that anonymous sales of the XRP token through an order book were not considered to be sales of investment contracts. For that reason, they were not found to be under the SEC's jurisdiction. Coinbase are arguing that the 13 tokens named by the SEC in their case are substantially similar to Ripple's XRP and should have the same results from Howie analysis. This would mean, of course, that sales conducted through Coinbase's exchange should not be considered the sale of securities. Coinbase relied on similar arguments to claim that their staking and wallet products were not subject to registration under securities law. They claim that customers are simply using their commodity tokens within software products offered by Coinbase. This would, of course, distinguish these Coinbase products from more traditional asset management services, where profit is derived from the skill of the asset manager. Now, within the whole security discussion, there is one particular analogy that's getting a lot of attention. Austin Campbell tweeted, one of the interesting parts of the SEC interpretation for me is that, if correct, I don't really see a dividing line between crypto and many other activities. Are limited edition Nikes now securities? I think Coinbase lays bare some of the issues well. Now, the specific analogy in the Coinbase argument is actually around baseball. They write, one can invest in a baseball or other trading card company through an instrument that imposes obligations on the company, and that will be a security. Or one can buy baseball cards on the open market, hoping they appreciate in value, and one will have bought a commodity. That remains true even if the company makes representations about plans to create a premier trading card platform to drive up the value of the cards it sells. Those representations can't turn baseball cards into securities. Baseball cards are not shares in the baseball card enterprise. This principle applies equally here. Coinbase goes on, the transactions over Coinbase is platform and prime are not and do not involve contractual undertaking to deliver future value reflecting the income profits or assets of a business. They are commodity sales with the obligations on both sides discharged entirely the moment the digital token is delivered in exchange for payment. The SEC's complaint does not allege otherwise because it does not and cannot plead the required elements of an investment contract. The SEC's Exchange Act claims should be dismissed. Now, still, even with colorful analogies like this, the in many ways more significant part of Coinbase's argument involves the major questions doctrine. And this is something you've heard me reference a number of different times on this show, but let's give a little bit of background. This is a legal doctrine that has been relatively recently developed by the Supreme Court. The major questions doctrine, or MQD, holds that administrative bodies, such as regulators like the SEC, require explicit guidance from Congress when tackling issues which have a major impact on the U .S. economy. It was recently used to strike down the Biden administration's student loan forgiveness program as it exceeded the authority of the White House. More classic cases include subjects like the tobacco industry and emissions reduction within the energy sector. Now, the point of MQD is not that regulators are never allowed to take on new areas of responsibility, but rather that Congress needs to be very specific when expanding a regulator scope. In a way, MQD is a statement about how regulatory legislation should be interpreted. In the original Supreme Court case, Whitman versus American Trucking Association from 2001, Justice Scalia said that Congress, quote, does not alter the fundamental details of a regulatory scheme in vague terms or ancillary provisions. It does not, one might say, hide elephants in mouse holes. For the Coinbase lawsuit, the argument is that Congress did not intend to hide widescale jurisdiction over the crypto industry for the SEC within the Securities Act of 1933. In their brief, Coinbase claimed that, quote, the major questions principle applies directly here. The wholesale regulation of secondary markets for trading digital assets qualifies as extraordinary, and the digital asset industry worth around one trillion dollars is a, quote, significant portion of the American economy. Now, digging a little bit deeper into this from, you know, an actual lawyer, Morrison Cohen's Jason Gottlieb wrote a really good thread about this exact MQD issue. He writes, Coinbase's brief is fantastic. No surprise, given the strong arguments in their favor and great lawyers in -house and outside working on it. One point, though, the major questions doctrine, I think Coinbase actually undersold just how major a question this is. As background, the major questions doctrine is basically that when an agency claims the, quote, power to regulate a significant portion of the American economy that has, quote, vast economic and political significance, it must point to clear congressional authorization for that power. A different district court judge in the same courthouse recently found that the crypto industry, though certainly important, falls far short of being a portion of the American economy bearing vast economic and political significance, unlike, say, energy or tobacco. I think that judge and other folks, even within crypto, vastly underestimate the majorness of this industry. I often see references to it being a, quote, trillion dollar industry, which is basically just the headline market cap of all crypto. Coinbase's brief skillfully lays out the base case. The industry is worth around one trillion, one in five adults in the U .S. is on crypto. Hundreds of millions of people globally use crypto currencies for myriad purposes. But this is an underestimate that one trillion dollars is just the market cap of all the tokens. The value of the industry isn't just the market cap of tokens any more than the value of the smartphone industry is the stock valuation of Apple and Samsung. What about all of the people, the productivity of all the engineers, programmers, designers, lawyers, accountants, auditors, all the IP, the network of companies that don't have tokens but support the ecosystems, the interconnections with companies outside the U .S.? And most of all, our lives are becoming more digital with no clear line between cryptocurrency and other digital assets. So when the SEC says, quote, all tokens are securities, it is aggregating authority not just over crypto, but the entire digital asset economy. The market cap of all crypto tokens may be one trillion dollars, but the value of the digital asset economy is certainly many multiples of that. It is literally the future of the entire economy minus a few necessarily analog portions of analog industries. Coinbase was right and smart not to go into this depth and a motion for judgment on the pleadings. It's not the right legal or procedural place for it. But in future arguments on the major questions doctrine in crypto, let's not understate or undersell the majorness of the questions. If everything is becoming digitized, this fight isn't just about cryptocurrency. It's a much larger battle for the right to your digital life and whether the Securities and Exchange Commission is the proper regulator for the entire digital economy. Spoiler alert, it is not. Now, one of the things that really stands out in this whole engagement is Coinbase not really being super solipsistic in their fight. This is not a document that reads like an exchange fighting for its survival or even just asserting that they are in the right in a particular case. Instead, it's about these much bigger questions about authority and how authority is determined. It's fundamentally about questions of administrative power in America and what the limits on that should be. In many ways, crypto is just serving as the next logical battleground for that legal point. Now, tactically, right from their initial defense filing, legal commentators have suggested that Coinbase may be rushing to get a major questions doctrine decision on the books in a lower court. This would allow Coinbase to take the issue before the Supreme Court ahead of other crypto cases that also might deal with the major questions doctrine, including the Binance and Terraform Labs lawsuits. Some have speculated that Coinbase is concerned that having an MQD fight with those much less favorable lawsuits will be an extreme negative to the industry. In any case, the SEC will have until October 3rd to file a response. And overall, I think that the tweet that best captures the vibe of this weekend was Zcash founder Zuko tweeting, I never knew it could be so fun to read legal filings. Anyways, that is the big one that we wanted to explore today. But real quickly, before we get out of here, just one more from the rumor mill, New York Attorney General Letitia James is reportedly locking horns with Barry Silbert as the digital currency group empire comes under additional scrutiny. According to an article from Bloomberg, the AG's office is conducting a probe into DCG. According to anonymous sources, investigators have requested information from former Genesis executives. Genesis is, of course, the crypto lending arm of DCG, which filed for bankruptcy in January. That bankruptcy stowed controversy when it was revealed that the largest creditor was a group of Gemini customers who had lent out their crypto. Early during bankruptcy proceedings, it was also discovered that DCG had taken out 1 .6 billion in intercompany loans from their subsidiary. At the time, DCG had given the public impression that Genesis losses from the bankruptcy has been extremely acrimonious. The Gemini co -founders, the Winklevoss twins, have publicly called out DCG numerous times for failing to do enough to refinance the loans, along with a whole other slew of accusations. Now, the SEC has already sued both Genesis and Gemini for offering unregistered securities for sale in relation to the lending arrangement, and there had been rumors of a Justice Department probe in January, but nothing appears to have come from that investigation. According to this new Bloomberg report, former Genesis chief risk officer Michael Patchen has already been questioned in the AG's investigation. That investigation is rumored to have taken place over recent months, and according to one anonymous source, the DCG loans are a critical part of the inquiry. Particularly, it seems like the AG is interested in how they were characterized to investors in the market. Of course, DCG CEO Barry Silbert has remained adamant that the loans were, quote, always structured on an arm's length basis and priced at prevailing market interest rates. Following the Bloomberg article, a spokesperson for DCG said the company is assisting regulators and investigators upon request and that, quote, DCG has always conducted its business lawfully and with the highest ethical standards. So, my friends, that is going to do it for today's episode. There is a lot coming up this week. I tease the PayPal stablecoin story, and then there is also a lot of smoke around Huobi, although it may take a few episodes to really understand exactly what's going on there. In any case, it appears that we are not in for that quiet August that so often happens in financial spaces. So, as always, until tomorrow, be safe and take care of each other. Peace.

NY Attorney General Seeks New Crypto Powers for State Regulators
"New York AG, letitia James wants to expand her ability to rein in the crypto sector with a new bill that looks to enhance state regulators power in regulating the crypto markets. A couple of features of this including requirements for crypto companies to make users whole in instances of fraud. Interesting stuff, interesting that we've seen a lot from AG James over the last couple of years in the crypto space. And this certainly ramps that up accelerates it a bit. A lot of good stuff to talk about here in the sauce is straight to Jen for her thoughts. Yeah, you know, I read this article on my thought, shouldn't we expect this given what's happened in the industry over the past, I don't know, 6 months. So part of this says investors would be offered details of risk and conflicts of interest in crypto companies wouldn't be able to borrow or lend customer assets. The article cites claims about Luna and Celsius. I'm surprised there was no mention of FTX here, but I think if you listen to what she's saying, there are probably a lot of angry people who are reaching out to their regulators that are saying, I lost my money because they are used to, you know, banks making them whole when their money is lost. If their credit card is lost or stolen and someone spends money on that credit card, people are used to not being responsible for those funds. And so while we say so much that regulators need education, it's like a really broad education that's needed. I think to understand why lawmakers are sometimes responding in a way that we seem as very harsh to the industry. And so I'm usually like regulators, but I can understand. I can understand why this is happening. You know, there are a few bad actors in the space or a few people who maybe made a few mistakes or mismanaged a few things that have made it really bad for a lot of people. And I know that I really support the speed towards mainstream adoption, but I think when it comes to regulation, slowing down a little bit and learning from the mistakes of the space and thinking thoughtfully on how to correct those mistakes is the way forward.

Are Dems Setting Precedent for Punishing Political Enemies?
"We've laid out here, if you're looking for a crime, the only crime that had been committed, if in fact a crime was committed was a financial misdemeanor. And for that, the district attorney wants to literally handcuff and shackle Donald Trump. Keep in mind, this is a guy who received $1 million from George Soros. This is a man who campaigned on a promise to get Donald Trump. Letitia James, the attorney general of New York. Campaigned on the same promise to get Donald Trump. They have weaponized the judicial system. Look at what's happening in Atlanta, Georgia, where once again you have a George Soros funded district attorney going after president Trump. That one could get very ugly because apparently they're looking at RICO violations. Suggesting that Trump was trying to coerce the Secretary of State and to changing vote totals in the state of Georgia. But really, this is all about stopping Donald Trump and punishing political enemies. And this is why it is incumbent upon every freedom loving American, and even I would appeal to some of you you Democrats out there who still believe in the constitution who still believe in the rule of law, I have to hope and pray there are still some of you out there. And we all need to stand up and say, we're not going to tolerate this. We're not going to allow you to turn our country into some sort of a, of a Soviet style, police state. We're just not going down that path. Am I grave concern is that Republicans are going to return the favor if they ever get back in control of the House and this pardon me of the Senate and The White House? We can not go down this path as a nation. We can not, we can not be jailing our political enemies.

The Crypto Reckoning Continues
"It's only the first week of the year and we clearly already need a Friday. Yesterday, Delphi lawyer Gabriel Shapiro wrote, we're looking at an almost total legal and financial wipeout of the crypto kingpins. Ready to rebuild from scratch, and that I think is pretty much the state of it. Yesterday was just another ravaging day in the reckoning and crypto cleanup following 2020 twos crises. Going in no particular order will start with Celsius. New York State's attorney general letitia James has sued former Celsius CEO Alex mashinsky for defrauding hundreds of thousands of investors by making false statements about the financial health of the company. Raising allegations dating back to 2018, the state intends to seek a court ordered ban on mashinsky doing business in New York State, as well as damages and restitution for harmed investors, according to a statement released on Thursday. The statement alleges that, quote, as the former CEO of Celsius, Alex mashinsky promised to lead investors to financial freedom, but led them down a path of financial ruin. The AG herself, James came even harder in her tweets, I'm suing the former CEO of cryptocurrency platform Celsius network for defrauding investors out of billions of dollars. Alex mashinsky lied to people about the risks of investing in Celsius, hit its deteriorating financial condition and failed to register in New York. Mashinsky tricked hardworking people into investing their life savings into Celsius, promising big financial returns, and claiming the platform was safer than a bank. Instead, Celsius collapsed in New Yorkers were left in financial ruin. I'm suing to get New Yorkers their money back and ban mashinsky from doing business in New York. We will continue to protect people from the risks of investing in cryptocurrency. Now I don't think anyone is particularly sad to see mashinsky on the receiving end of some serious legal trouble. My duties, for example, tweeted crypto fraud Domino's falling fast in 2023. Day has come time to pay the piper.

"This is Bloomberg law with June grosso from Bloomberg radio. Claiming you have money that you do not have, does not amount to the art of the deal. It's the art of the steal. And there can not be different rules for different people in this country or in this state. And former presidents are no different. New York's attorney general letitia James is suing former president Donald Trump, his three eldest children and his company for what she called staggering fraud over a decade, alleging they lied about the value of his prized real estate assets from golf courses and hotels to his homes at Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago. The lawsuit strikes at the essence of what made Trump famous and the core of his brand and the ultimate aim is to stop the trumps from doing business in New York ever again. My guess is former federal prosecutor Robert mintz, a partner mccarter in English. This is a 222 page complaint. You could say it's almost three years in the making, listing 200 plus times Trump allegedly lied about valuations of his assets over ten years. This is a sweeping and detailed complaint not unexpected, by the way, something that everybody thought was going to come eventually out of the New York attorney general's office, but the details and the number of interviews and the number of documents that were reviewed in putting this complaint together is something that's certainly gets your attention. Is a leg is a widespread effort to manipulate property valuations by former president Trump and three of his children and the Trump organization and some of the Trump executives and is asking for $250 million in penalties and an end to their operations in the state of New York. It's specifically accuses them of engaging in a years long scheme to enrich themselves by inflating the values of a wide variety of properties that the Trump organization would inflate the valuation of assets in certain circumstances. For example, when seeking loans and for insurance coverage purposes, but at the same time, deflate the value of those very same assets in order to reduce their tax liability. During the press conference, the AG gave some concrete examples easy to understand, according to James, Trump said his triplex and Trump Tower was more than 30,000 ft² when in reality was less than 11,000 ft², so that increased the value by about $200 million. But what the attorney general was trying to do here was to get out in front of an argument that these valuations are by definition somewhat subjective. In other words, in order to try to put a valuation on commercial property in Manhattan, for example, there is somewhat of a subjective element to coming up with a number of what that property is worth based upon other commercial properties. So what the AG here was attempting to do was to give examples that did not involve any of that subjectivity. So as an example, the complaint alleges that the triplex apartment at Trump Tower was 30,000 ft² in certain documents and then was listed as only 11,000 ft² in others. That is something that is clearly not subjective, but is simply an object of fact. It's either 30,000 or 11,000 ft². Other examples include adding more floors and square footage to buildings and actually exist claiming more residential lots than we're actually zoned for on certain golf courses. Again, these are attempts by the attorney general's office to show that these were not mistakes, but these were simply facts that were misstated on according to the attorney general's office were in misstated intentionally. The other thing and we're seeing throughout this complaint is the attempt by the attorney general's office to show that this is a pattern in practice. In other words, it's not an isolated example. It's not a situation in which the Trump organization can say that they may have made a mistake or they may have relied on evaluation that was improper, but they're showing that this is a pattern in practice. It's an involved multiple properties both domestic and internationally on something that went on for many years. Ultimately, in order to prove their case, they have to show that this was done intentionally. It was not an innocent mistake. On his social media site, truth social, Trump called the lawsuit another witch hunt. His lawyer Elena haba said, it's abundantly clear that the attorney general's office has exceeded its statutory authority by prying into transactions where absolutely no wrongdoing has taken place. How do they rebut, though, things like exaggerations of square footage? That's a fact. How do you rebut that? Well, I think that's part of the defense that we're certainly going to see in this case. The fact is that letitia James is a Democrat who was elected. Alvin Bragg and non district attorney was also a Democrat. And so it's certainly something that's going to come out of the Trump playbook to argue that these people were politically motivated. And in fact, letitia James as the New York attorney general when she ran for office specifically talked about investigating Donald Trump and the Trump organization. So this is part of an attempt in order to nullify the jury to go out there and suggest that this entire investigation and now the civil charges that have been brought were all part of the witch hunt and there's really no substance here. An ultimately when it gets down to a trial, they will have to rebut the specific examples where the AG has cited misstatements in these asset valuations. This is a civil complaint, but James said that she thinks the conduct alleged here also violates federal criminal law and she's making criminal referrals to the U.S.

New York's attorney general letitia James is suing former president Donald Trump, his three eldest children and his company for what she called staggering fraud over a decade, alleging they lied about the value of his prized real estate assets from golf courses and hotels to his homes at Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago.

"Face the data. This is Bloomberg law with June gros from Bloomberg radio. I've been talking to former federal prosecutor Robert mintz of mccarter and English about the New York attorney general filing a fraud suit against former president Donald Trump, his three eldest children, and the Trump organization. On his social media site, truth social, Trump called the lawsuit another witch hunt. His lawyer Elena haba said, it's abundantly clear that the attorney general's office has exceeded its statutory authority by prying into transactions where absolutely no wrongdoing has taken place. How do they rebut, though, things like exaggerations of square footage? That's a fact, how do you rebut that? Well, I think that's part of the defense that we're certainly going to see in this case. The fact is that letitia James is a Democrat who was elected. Alvin Bragg and district attorney was also a Democrat. And so it's certainly something that's going to come out of the Trump playbook to argue that these people were politically motivated. And in fact, letitia James as the New York attorney general, once you ran for office, specifically talked about investigating Donald Trump and the Trump organization. So this is part of an attempt in order to nullify the jury to go out there and to suggest that this entire investigation and now this civil investigation on the civil charges that have been brought today were all part of a witch hunt and there's really no substance here. An ultimately when it gets down to a trial, they will have to rebut the specific examples where the AG has cited misstatements in these asset valuations. And that's exactly why we're seeing a situation here where the attorney general's office is giving multiple examples of where they believe these are objective and indefensible valuations were on the one hand it's being valued at a certain level and the facts about the property being presented in a certain way and when it benefits Trump organization and they're being presented factually in a different way in order to benefit the Trump organization in a different context. Letitia James said she rejected a settlement offer from Trump. But her door is open. What does it tell you that she rejected a settlement offer? Well, I don't think it says that much really, I mean, it's interesting that the Trump organization is trying to settle these charges, but not surprising, just how far apart they may be in terms of settlement. That's something we really don't know as this case progresses now. Now that the charges have actually been filed, the case will move forward. There may be further discussions about trying to resolve this case. But remember, this is a civil case only. It's not a criminal case, so the only thing this case is ultimately about is money. So ultimately, the case that can be settled with money. One thing that makes this different, however, is that the AG is not only seeking money in this case, but also seeking to ban Trump and his family from engaging in business in New York states. So among the penalties that are being sought by the attorney general are to remove the trumps from business engaged in New York to appoint a monitor to monitor the Trump business and control its interests and to remove the trustees of the Trump organization or replace them with independent trustees in order to monitor the commercial and real estate acquisitions for 5 years, including all loans with New York banks and basically run the business through independent individuals through a monitor to independent trustees rather than president Trump and his family. That is something that is going to be difficult, I think, for the Trump organization on the attorney general to agree on because now that that's been laid out there, it's going to be difficult for the AG to walk that back. And that is not something that I can ever see the Trump organization agreeing to, because that would essentially turn the organization over to independent, unrelated individuals, something that president Trump has never agreed to. He's always run his business with close family members and executives who I've been loyal to him for many years. So the idea that individuals who are independent and approved by the attorney general's office would run the Trump organization and would be trustees of the Trump organization is something that is unlikely the president Trump will ever agree to. So, as you mentioned, this is a civil complaint, but Jane said that she thinks the conduct alleged here also violates federal criminal law, including issuing false statements to financial institutions and bank fraud and she's making criminal referrals to the U.S. attorney in Manhattan and the IRS. So they'll have the benefit of all the evidence she's gathered in a lot of hard fought legal fights. Does that put pressure on them to do something? Well, I think it does ratchet up the pressure a bit on the U.S. attorney's office. There will be a huge amount of information turned over to them. The Yankees office examined more than a million pages of documents and interviewed many, many Trump executives and outside professionals who work with the Trump organization and all of that will be passed on to the U.S. attorney's office on the IRS and letitia James the New York attorney general, specifically said that this investigation uncovered potential criminal violations, including false and flying business records. Issuing false financial statements, insurance fraud, conspiracy, and bank front. So this will, I think, put additional pressure on the U.S.

He took the Fifth Amendment and much has been made of the fact that he mocked people so many times for taking the 5th saying it showed guilt. He took the 5th more than 400 times in a civil case. But was that actually a wise decision on his lawyer's part? Well, it certainly would be a wise decision if the person is anybody other than a former president. It's not at all unusual for a defense lawyer to give a client advice to assert the 5th, not necessarily because they believe they've committed any kind of crime, but because there was a parallel criminal investigation that was going on at the very same time about the very same issues. Remember letitia James the attorney general of New York who's deposition president Trump was participating in and he was the deponent in that civil investigation, but at the same time the Manhattan district attorney's office has been conducting a parallel criminal investigation into the very same issue whether mister Trump fraudulently inflated values of his properties

I got to see where I it's always hard to find these things. Because I tweet like so much. I'm sure you could have seen, let's see. Where was it? Hold on bear with me for a second. Damn it, I'm not fine in it now. I don't know, Howard Stern, it was article where he said that Donald Trump should never have run for the presidency because he's a narcissist that always needs to be liked and he always wants to be loved by people and this is gonna hurt him and I commented. How are you just explaining yourself? It was a bit of a projection because Howard Stern is the same way. He's always wants to be loved and you know, you know, so he was, you know, so he was doing the same thing. Anyway, so getting back to New York. Yeah. Now, Ivanka was the one that sent in those documents. Correct? Haven't they figured that out? I don't know exactly I mean. I think they may have subpoenaed the Trump organization. And the Trump organization gave them up. So what now is this just a civil case or is it also a criminal case? So it's both. So and not many people know, but letitia James is actually only in charge of the civil part of the case. She's not in charge of the criminal case. The criminal case is coming out of them Manhattan district attorney's office, Cy Vance was in charge. He left office and now Alvin Bragg, his successor is now in charge. However, with that being said, the two of them are working together. And documents in the criminal case are being sent to letitia James and vice versa. So it's both..

But it looks like it could be even a little worse. That what With the totals you gave. It was like 12 to 18 inches in the city and 22 22 2 24 22 2 24 inches. Yeah, that's a lot of snow and it ends but tomorrow by let's say 10 o'clock in the morning, 11? Yeah. Middle of the morning tomorrow? Yes. It's ah. Gonna be cold tomorrow. Supposed to reach you Think 39 or 40 39. Maybe on no later in the week, Wednesday or Thursday, Thursday, maybe. And then I think it gets to 40 and on Friday, so that'll start Getting rid of all this snow. That's the other problem. You gotta get rid of it all. And I love the mayor. Boy, you know you usually useless. But in a crisis like this, this guy comes to life. Listen to this brilliant advice and stay off the roads. We're gonna say it 100 times. Please do it for your own safety and everyone around you, but also so our sanitation department can do their crucial work. Uh, yeah. When the photo that stay off the road, SZ, I'm in high above Manhattan right now, Let me look out on the street here. There's one guy walking on the sidewalk. One wet Now That's a police car. There's one police car, and that's it. There's nobody on the road. That's the middle of Manhattan. There's nobody on the road. Who does he think is on the road and listening to him. See? See how effective he is? Yeah, on, he said this by he's setting a good example by not leaving the house. Of course he does that every day, but he is on top of it. So Well, we have a Cuomo briefing today is anything scheduled? I think we probably will use sure. Yeah, Let's be interested You with that? Yeah. He tried to explain the nursing home skill. He allowed three or four questions on it's been 20 minutes, trying to explain it. It was the most convoluted nonsense, ridiculous. Non explanation eyes, Michael Goodman pointed at The New York Times has done a huge piece. On the evilness of Andrew Cuomo and his cover up of his nursing home scandal. So that more evidence that there's some coordination of all of this Letitia James I think got the go ahead from somebody. Uh, some coordination somewhere high up in democratic world to puncture the balloon of Andrew Cuomo And, uh, I said that last time with Letitia James, but now you see a massive New York Times hit piece. That does suggest some coordination is coming from somewhere, doesn't it? Or people getting the go ahead from someone? Why? What I mean is Cuomo. Um I don't know. Wounded. Is he not progressive enough? What's the Why would they go after him? I don't know. He does think it's the governor. You watch those briefings. He's really good. His manner he looks so forceful in in charge. He looks so on top of things, and he gives you all these crafts and charts. It's like everything about the briefing is designed to be the perfect briefing. Meanwhile, he's got the worst results of any governor in America. It's a total disaster. Everything's gone wrong. You got the biggest crime spike in history that homeless garbage all over the streets. The state is told this is the key metric under his leadership to state is totally bankrupt, totally bankrupt 30 billion in the hole. No chance of ever ever recovering under his leadership. More people have left the state than any other state. We're going to lose a couple of congressional seats because we've lost so much population. I hate to say it, but I don't know what's gonna happen this year. Tax wise E. He's one of the biggest budget gap in history. He's going to go nuts with the taxes. If he does that more people leave and it expands the problem. So New York Times in this massive hit piece on Cuomo ex saying that nine of his health department top people have quit over his nonsense, and apparently they had a great vaccine program. Distribution program. All set up, ready to go on. He canceled it. And started screwing around with it. So I think you're gonna see more and more, come out about this and remember His track record is just nutty to remember a few months ago when he said, I'm not you couldn't take this vaccine. It's from the Trump Administration. I refused the vaccine. Remember that? Oh, yeah. That's what's wrong with this guy. Remember when last year the Trump Administration has been great, they built us Hospital, The Javits Center. They've been great. They've given us everything we asked for tune in two weeks later. The Trump Administration is the worst administration ever. They've screwed us up. You watch him out two months ago, I will never accept this vaccine I don't want this vaccine is from the Trump Administration two weeks later. Why can't we get more vaccine? We don't have enough vaccine. Just that he's always been nuts. Remember the remember in those march April briefings, everything. I need more ventilators. I need 40,000 ventilators. Are you going to choose who dies? I need 40,000 ventilated. Remember trump every date way to hold his own briefing. So you're looking in the ill need 4000 at the most will make you 4000. But just in case Trump went and made 500,000 ventilators, very tough thing to make two very complex piece.
