Trump Charity lawsuit by NY AG is a civil action. Why not a criminal prosecution you might ask?

Those charges may be coming based on "shared" information.... )

The lawsuit is a civil action, seeking the dissolution of the Trump Foundation and a prohibition on Trump and the other directors serving on the boards of other charities. Underwood also asks that the foundation’s $1 million in current assets be distributed to other charities, and that Trump pay at least $2.8 million in restitution. The AG’s office does not have criminal jurisdiction over charities, but it also sent referral letters to the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Election Commission laying out potential violations of federal criminal law for future investigation.

Clear out his charities first with the civil case, then go after him later for the criminal charges.

I think this is SMART!!!

of the funds, who took out funds, how used, etc. and if even truly a valid charity, or just a sham, for taxes and a piggy bank for use by rump.
