Democrats and their media allies are growing impatient.
Their lawfare against Donald Trump is not having the desired effect.
And Jon Stewart’s latest attack on Trump just blew up in his face in hilarious fashion.
The Left have been trying to defend the outrageous New York fraud case against Donald Trump.
New York Attorney General Letitia James made good on her campaign promise to “get Trump” when she sued him for fraud for overvaluing his property on bank loan applications.
Trump paid back the loans with interest and the banks were happy to do business with Trump again, but the Democrats are determined to take him down no matter what.
And the talking heads in the press are playing along.
Selling the fraud narrative
Jon Stewart, who returned to The Daily Show after his Apple+ show bombed, tried to dunk on Trump and defended the preposterous $464 million fine levied against him.
Stewart also called multimillionaire Shark Tank investor Kevin O’Leary an “a**hole” for correctly pointing out that Trump’s so-called crime was “victimless.”
Stewart said, “Ah, who’s next . . . The persecuted minority of the investment community . . . I am surprised to hear this from Kevin O’Leary, the guy who’s such an a**hole . . . that even the other people on Shark Tank think he’s an a**hole. . .I’m surprised to hear that he’s so chill about overvaluing something that he thinks is victimless because when someone tries to do that to him . . .”
However, Stewart got himself in trouble when people discovered that he sold his New York home for $17.5 million, which was 829% higher than the assessed value.
Did @jonstewart commit fraud when he sold his penthouse for $17.5M?
NY listed its market value at $1.8M an AV at around 800k
Who did he He defraud??

What’s good for the goose…
Some rushed to Stewart’s defense and pointed out that market value and assessed value are two different things; assessed value is determined by the city.
However, Stewart went a bridge too far and accused Trump of cheating on his taxes by paying at the assessed value right, which is what Stewart allegedly did.
Stewart said, “The attorney general of New York knew that Trump’s property values were inflated because when it came time to pay taxes, Trump undervalued the very same properties. . . It was all part of a very specific real estate practice known as lying.”
Stewart dismissed the discovery by smugly writing, “OMG!! I’ve been caught doing something not remotely similar to Trump! I guess all I need to do now is start a fraud college, steal classified docs, bankrupt casinos, pay hush money, grab p*ssies, discriminate in housing, cheat at golf and foment insurrection and you’ll revere me!”
In other words, Stewart had no good defense.

Time after time Democrats have been caught doing what Trump is accused of.
There is no good defense for this obvious political persecution of Trump.
