Boeing Company has agreed to plead guilty to a criminal fraud conspiracy charge relating to two fatal 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019. The company has agreed to a $243.6 million fine.
In an unrelated case that was in civil court, Judge Arthur Engoron in February fined former President Donald Trump $464.8 million for what the judge says was overvaluing his New York properties in order to get more favorable loan terms. The fine was $354.8 million plus $100 million in interest.
The fines in the Boeing criminal case, concerning crashes in which 346 people died, and the Trump civil case, where there were no actual injuries, is in the same ballpark since Boeing has already paid a $243 million fine.
In addition to the main civil fine and interest, Judge Engoron also fined Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump $4 million and banned all three Trump men from being able to run New York companies in the future.
Trump has denied all wrongdoing and has appealed the ruling, as well as the extraordinary bond that the judge demanded be paid in cash.
In the Boeing case, the federal government will have the aircraft maker on a probation list for three years.
Families of the victims are opposing the Boeing plea deal, and will ask the judge to reject it because it makes concessions to Boeing “that other criminal defendants would never receive and fails to hold Boeing accountable for the deaths of 346 persons.”
Simple. Trump, for all his faults, wants to kick the CIA out of the white house. Boeing, on the other hand, sells lots of people-killing equipment to the CIA.
Equal justice my backside
Trump will soon be leader of the free world again and like rats jumping off a ship, Democrats will be scurrying for a place to hide.
Message to Joe Biden:
You can hide, but you can’t run.
If he wins (and with known D cheating that’s no guarantee), how long before the alphabet soup of government agencies and the R’s and D’s start impeachment proceedings? Or worse yet, start discussing the final solution for him via the “A” word? JFK didn’t get nearly as close as DJT has, and they know he’s coming for them.
Jfk was going to trot out the aliens. Couldn’t have that.
Nope. Harris and Clinton polling above him. He’s burnt toast. It’s over
You been smoking Crack? Oh please show us this polling.
1. If biden is out, Harris is the presidential candidate. They cannot transfer funds ro a different ticket. Means the Giggler is the top name.
2. Why do you think no one wants to join up as VP.
3. I bet you are a Bush family fan.
I like Bush’s. Do your own research.
Anyone who tells you to “Do your own research” is really just saying “I lied, but I hope you are too lazy to prove it.”
Delusional troll, show me the poll where Biden and Harris are ahead.
Look yourself. Push the search button.
2 attorneys on the NY bar on trump jury and a judge whose daughter works for soros. Any reason this looks like sleezy.
When Trump is incarcerated, he will be thinking…why didn’t I plea guilty on a lesser offense?
Because he innocent.
Lol. Keep telling yourself that…
No crimes committed to plea to.
He will be thinking, GD I won a presidential election in prison with secret security on hand. Gregg, why has zero Epstien island participants been prosecuted? What they did Is far more criminal than what other celebrities have done.
Alex Jones was $1.5 Billion penalty for 10 seconds of commentary about a mass shooting – after the families involved began lobbying the federal government for nationwide gun bans. (Consider Exxon was fined $150 million for their 1989 oil spill – and 80% of that was eventually forgiven.)
See how that works? Leftists can fund-raise and freely push their agenda, but when you challenge them, suddenly they morph into ‘innocent victims’.
Funny how major opposition media have now been bankrupted or imprisoned by the DOJ ahead of the election cycle.
Yes, its all a conspiracy against conservatives. Bless your heart.
Federal law enforcement convicts ordinary citizens of ‘conspiracy’ quite frequently. Yet, here you are with your low IQ take, that those working in government aren’t capable of it.
Its fine though. Biden has set an important precedent by locking up Steve Bannon and Pete Navarro. I look forward to AG Merrick Garland spending a few months in a cell for defying Republican subpoenas – as soon as Trump retakes the Department of Justice. Its about sending a message to anyone that considers accepting an appointment in a future left wing administration.
And when you come here to whine about ‘Dictator Trump’ locking up his enemies, I’ll enjoy gaslighting you in return.
One things for sure; try as I might, I don’t think I could ever achieve your level of whining and “snowflakeness”. Just because the people you mentioned are locked up, I would love to see actual proof that Biden is directing any of it. You do understand the difference between correlation and causation, do you not?
Does not have to be a conspiracy.
Leftists have the mental reasoning capacity of toddlers. Even if they get into powerful positions (DA, Judge, Mayor, AG, etc…) their reasoning still tracks that of a five year old.
.
No one has to conspire against conservatives. All that needs to happen is a leftist decides to use their power/authority based on their emotional/childlike reasoning, not based on what the law says.
You think anyone who isn’t a sovereign citizen is a leftist though. That’s your problem right there.
What, exactly, is your point?
Whether I think they are a leftist or not is meaningless.
.
Leftists act like children. And, when they are in positions of power, they use that position to amplify their childish ideas. And, it does not take any kind of conspiracy, just people acting like people do.
Apu. Why you would lie on behalf of the world’s most despicable man baffles me.
That’s a powerful word. I caution you.
Does anyone know why Trump is running for office with a different VP than he had the last time?
Really? Who is his VP pick?
SMH
Idol. Pence won’t have him. He has moral fiber ya see.
Judas Pence who sold his soul for 30 pieces of silver? The same one begging for a taxpayer bail out for his failed presidential campaign? Guess your sources are pretty slim.
Pence just refused to put his head in the noose, along with trumps.
Anyone who has followed politics in even the most minor way over the last five years knows.
.
But, since you asked. Pence is a backstabbing TDS suffering RINO. As VP, how much damage did he cause Trump’s Presidency? No one will ever know.
.
The main reason why Trump was not as successful as he could have been (OK, that is a stretch…) is because he relied on people who were in the job for a long period of time to put the job first. Not personal bias, not politics, but the job. And, on that front he failed. Generals openly disobeyed him, Department heads ignored his Executive Orders (or complied to the absolute minimum degree), entrenched Federal Employees practiced a level of malicious compliance, etc… And, his VP pick was among them.
,
That is why he is looking for a new VP.
Pence kept him semi honest.
How?
Explain please.
He would have been a loose cannon without Pence.
Not an explanation.
Please explain how, and perhaps a few examples might be nice.
Use your imagination.
So, nothing then.
You are just convinced that Pence “did something” but cannot name a single thing?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There are 2 questions on the Trump VP form. 1….do you think the election was stolen? 2…..If I told you to do what I told Mike Pense to do, would you do it? Hard to find people who can say yes to both questions.
Too low. But really, why aren’t people going to jail over this? Boeing’s fraud caused people to die, a lot of them. Leaders in Boeing made conscious decisions to lie about their products out of greed.
Welcome to the knowledge that if you donate to enough to the people who serve in Congress that you are not held personally responsible. I believe their should be some lengthy jail sentences for numerous Boeing executives.
Democrats have lied about our southern border, the migrants, and made misrepresentations. Many innocent Americans have died at the hands of these illegal migrants yet not one Democrat has been arrested nor fined. It’s a two tiered justice system.
A great logical fallacy and a very unconvincing argument.
this is bull—- lawfare
Yet more confirmation that DOJ is corrupt, just like the FBI.
Trump was convicted of a victimless crime and received a larger monetary fine than Boeing, a corporation whose crimes actually killed and injured hundreds of people! We live in strange times, indeed.
Boeing is not tipping over the apple cart in DC.
They are, in fact, supporting the swamp.
.
Is there another possible reason?
