  Wait a minute. Trump's civil fraud verdict was based on the notion he
  systematically gave an incorrect valuation to his properties in order to
  deceive lenders (even though all lenders were repaid and none of them ever
  made complaints against him and all said they'd do business with him again).
  Now, the New York Times admits that reaching a proper valuation for Trump's
  buildings is a "guessing game".

For loans, he inflated his valuations.  For taxes, he lowered his

So when Trump takes out a loan and pays it back with interest, that's a
crime.

As Jon Stewart pointed out in his video Trump did pay the loan back
with interest but much less than he would have if he had given the
properties the proper valuation. Which amounted to a lot due to the
sums involved.

Shorted on taxes, cheated banks out of their profits... profits that COULD have been lent out to other New Yorkers, who didn't lie and cheat.

Trump cheated and made those that didn't cheat pick up the slack.

Yeah.  Not a good reason... but the reason is Merrick the Mild doesn't want to ruffle any feathers.
He's part of the plan...
