[HotAir.com] In the New York trial of Donald Trump related to his supposed fraudulent business loans, the court heard for the first time this week from one of the supposed "victims" of the fraud. Nicholas Haigh, who served as a Deutsche Bank risk management officer when Trump was applying for the loans answered questions for the court and it really didn't sound like he did much for the prosecution's case. There was plenty of banking industry technical lingo being thrown around, but the claim that Trump was somehow whitewashing his worth and fooling the banks isn't holding up under scrutiny ... I'm not sure what the court thought they were going to accomplish by bringing this guy in to testify. It sounds like he did nothing more than describe business as usual in Manhattan. Or at least it was "usual" by the standards of people who travel in Donald Trump's financial circles. Most of the questions being raised deal with the estimated values of various properties. And in the business world, a thing is worth precisely as much as someone is willing to pay for it. Trump played that game well enough to become quite wealthy and the banks happily went along for the ride. The only "fraud" in sight here is coming from the office of Letitia James...
