Ok...I can envision that timeline.
Criminal indictments may come AFTER that...we'll see.
Trump and his idiot adult children DO have assets they can liquidate, BUT, even if they can all declare bankruptcy and not have to pay $250 million, it STILL harms them both financially and politically.
James is basically going after The Trump Organization. Even if they could re-establish it in another state, making them not be able to operate in any way in NY is a big deal. ALL of them have this winner label that will be greatly tarnished if they all have to declare bankruptcy. Makes them all LOSERS to all but the most Trumpian of Trumpers. This helps keep them from future criming and greatly damages future political futures of the three idiot children.
