Trump Is Running The New York Trial

 QED:

Miller was called in to testify that Zurich insurance company worked with the Trump Organization to protect a relationship with a broker, therefore suggesting inflated financial statements had little impact on the company’s dealings. 

Those inflated financial statements are at the heart of James’ $250 million civil complaint, in which she contends the Trumps defrauded lenders and investors by inflating the value of company holdings. The judge has already found Trump and his associates liable for fraud, meaning the trial is largely to decide damages.

His expertise, he testified, came from running an insurance agency. Even Engoron was unimpressed:

"I don't see why you're an expert in what was just said," Engoron said.

Yes, there are standards for establishing expertise. Trump isn’t even clearing that bar.

Worse, Trump is arguing the case that’s already been decided. It doesn’t matter know whether or not the financial statements affected the insurance underwriter. The question of fraud has been settled. The question now is damages, which this testimony doesn’t address at all.

This isn’t even going through the motions. This is just wasting the court’s time.
