Trump says accountants abused by NY AG

 Newsmax:

Mazar’s USA, Donald Trump’s long-time accounting firm that earlier in February said it could no longer vouch for financial statements from the Trump Organization, parted ways with the former president because it was “harassed, abused, and frightened” by district attorneys and attorneys General “that for years have been threatening them with indictment and ruination,” Trump said in a statement released Sunday by his Save America PAC.

“They were “broken” by these Radical Left racist prosecutors, and couldn’t take it anymore,” Trump said.

“Even the letter they sent stated, “Mazars performed its work in accordance with professional standards. A subsequent review of those work papers confirms this.” Further, their disclaimer clause in the financial statements has for years stated much the same.

“My company is incredible with some of the greatest assets in the world and very low debt. Also, we’re loaded with cash. The Fake News Media hates talking about it!” he added.

In a letter released by New York Attorney General Letitia James as part of her civil probe into the former president’s company, Mazars USA said the Trump Organization’s “statement of financial condition from 2011-2020 should no longer be relied on.”

"We write to advise that the Statements of Financial Condition for Donald J. Trump for the years ending June 30, 2011 — June 30, 2020, should no longer be relied upon and you should inform any recipients thereof who are currently relying upon one or more of those documents that those documents should not be relied upon," Mazars Group General Counsel William J. Kelly wrote in a letter to Trump Organization Chief Legal Officer Alan Garten.

Kelly said, "this conclusion based, in part, upon the filings made by" James' office and "our own investigation, and information received from internal and external sources."

"While we have not concluded that the various financial statements, as a whole, contain material discrepancies, based upon the totality of the circumstances, we believe our advice to you to no longer rely upon those financial statements is appropriate," according to Kelly.
...

The problem with James's investigation is they have no alleged victims.  There is no evidence that anyone was defrauded by the Trump organization or lost any money as a result of their financial statements.  It appears to be a large solvent business.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
