So after Stewart sold his penthouse, he could have bought Mar-A-Lago.
Crazy.

You have to be dense to ignore the fact that he was discussing fraud...aka reporting false square footage, etc. That's the actual legal issue, not whether or not someone overpaid or underpaid for a property.Jon Stewart by his own logic committed a crime.
Lol this is terrible logic. Come on, this is sub-elementary school arguing.no, but if you're going to hold the same standards, he defrauded the public by paying way below property taxes......
The Stewart thing is absolute nonsense, but that I agree with.If what Trump did is illegal, why did the DA specifically say she isn't going to charge other people for doing the exact same thing?
What is the alleged crime Stewart committed? It just sounds like he purchased low and sold when the market was doing well. People are paying taxes on home values below market cost all the time. Very common for a home owner to be paying property taxes on below market value.Letitia James under pressure to prosecute Jon Stewart
Comedian faced criticism after it was reported that he sold his New York City apartment for significantly more than market value.www.newsweek.com
Jon Stewart benefited by 829% ‘overvalue’ of his NYC home even as he labels Trump’s civil case ‘not victimless’
Jon Stewart is facing online backlash after saying Donald Trump’s case overvaluing his properties was “not victimless,” and sleuths found his own records.nypost.com
People on social media have called for New York Attorney General Letitia James to prosecute late-night show host Jon Stewart as she did former President Donald Trump after it was reported that Stewart sold his city apartment for $15.6 million more than it was worth.
On Wednesday, the New York Post reported that Stewart sold his Tribeca penthouse in 2014 for $17.5 million. At the time, the 6,280-square-foot property had a market value of about $1.882 million, according to the City of New York's Assessment Roll 2013-2014, making the sale price roughly 830 percent higher.
People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Jon Stewart sold his New York way over its market value and according to himself that is not a victimless crime.
Do you know the actual difference between the two(legally speaking), or are you just going along with the narrative that it is in fact different?The Stewart thing is absolute nonsense, but that I agree with.
I’m not falling for that one Happy…Did someone shit in your cereal this morning?
My answer probably wasn't clear enough. I agree with @ColemanwastheGOAT, although he's identifying the wrong person. It wasn't the DA who reassured estate investors. It was Hochul (which is even worse). If I was Trump, I'd investigate big NY Democrat donors who invest in real estate. The whole thing is a sham.Do you know the actual difference between the two(legally speaking), or are you just going along with the narrative that it is in fact different?
Not trying to be combative, but it seems like a lot of people are just being led by headlines, and don't actually know what the fuck the big deal is. I mean, when other real estate investors are saying it's bullshit, and the governor of the state has to put their minds at ease by essentially saying they won't hold them to the same standard as Trump, it's probably bullshit.

Coleman is lying. Read what Hochul said:My answer probably wasn't clear enough. I agree with @ColemanwastheGOAT, although he's identifying the wrong person.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) addressed New York business owners in a new interview and told them there was “nothing to worry about” after former President Trump was hit with a $355 million fine and a ban on conducting business in New York for three years.
...
“I think that this is really an extraordinary, unusual circumstance that the law-abiding and rule-following New Yorkers who are business people have nothing to worry about, because they’re very different than Donald Trump and his behavior,” Hochul responded.
...
The governor provided reassurance to New York businesses after the ruling. “By and large, they are honest people and they’re not trying to hide their assets and they’re following the rules.
Especially to attempt to sidestep the fact that you're a moron if you think this is in any way similar to Trump's fraudulent valuations.
He certainly looks dumb after giving that monologue about under paying on taxes.The Stewart accusations are ludicrous. It's Republicans looking to get even with something making zero sense. It makes them look stupid.
It's not even a legal issue that this turns on. They just aren't the same thing. One is illegal, and one isn't. All Stewart did was manage to sell his house at a premium, well above what it was listed. Now if he doesn't pay the taxes on the sales price, that's one thing. But that's not at issue.
Trump clearly issued fraudulent evaluations of his home to both skimp on paying taxes and securing loans at better rates. Both illegal, and both are unjust enrichment.
How is the Stewart situation the same as Trump's?Tell us you know nothing about realestate lending without telling us that you know nothing about realestate lending..
Sure, Jack. That's why the investors had to be reassured by the fucking GOVERNOR that they wouldn't be held to the same standard. These real estate moguls who looked at this case and went "Uhhh, say what now?", were all just worried about nothing. They don't know what they're talking about, right?Coleman is lying. Read what Hochul said:
She's saying that the behavior is not, contrary to what Trump fans claim, common. She's not saying that other people can get away with the same behavior.
What exactly do you think he did wrong?He certainly looks dumb after giving that monologue about under paying on taxes.
I don’t follow. The banks Trump lied to should have known he was lying?right, except that the banks are far better assessors than the government. The idea that they didnt know what they were getting into is also intellectually dishonest.
