The biggest way to HURT THOSE SNOTTY NEW YORKERS, IS FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP TO...INDEED, GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE.

Think of this...how much legal, beautiful Reak Estate would just vanish, if Trump were not involved?

THAT’S how Stupid these people are.

If President Trump leaves New York to its own devices...it WILL become a Giant Ghetto...and no group of people deserves it MORE.

GOODBYE, NEW YORK, WE HARDLY KNEW YA.

In summary judgments, there can be no genuine dispute as to any material fact, and any such judgment must be made as a matter of law.

But In Trump’s case, facts were disputed, and no law was followed, while due process was apparently an inconvenience in the court’s rush to serve its political masters.

The Trump business documentation at issue is otherwise not something even produced by the defendant, but rather by expert third parties including accounting, engineering, and law firms through opinion letters, and cost and valuation attestation under their regulated authority.

Moreover, even in large real estate markets like New York, everyone knows everyone else, and especially, they all know market prices because they are all market makers, whether builders, developers, banks or brokers.

All parties to such voluntary, arms-length business transactions are free to challenge anyone else’s numbers and accept them, modify them, or reject them.

But in this case, this judge is the only entity with an objection, and one that is merely an uninformed personal opinion.

It has no basis in accounting, business, or law. Moreover, no private party brought forth a complaint, which exposes the prosecutor as the moving party and raises many questions as to its standing, among others factors.

Judges are not accountants or business economists, and rarely do they have even basic business operating experience, let alone the kind necessary to understand sophisticated finance and deal structures. Even if they did, it would have to include relevant experience in specific industrial sectors such as commercial real estate, manufacturing, technology, and many others.

In President Trump’s case, how could such complicated business matters be determined so summarily, by non-experts, and survive with such personal and vindictive opinion attached to them on the record? In a word, they can’t. Legally.

This case has the appearance of a business shakedown, and there remains a question of who benefits commercially, by potentially stripping Trump of his premium real estate assets and state business licenses.

Good synopsis:

Many of these objections were raised on appeal. The appeals court also rejected them and the arguments made over valuations, and kicked back to the judge.

Trump’s team must now appeal to an even higher authority.
