[Mr. Douglas]

I saw the video. I could only assume that Trump was “being agreeable” and in one of his “say one thing one day, and another the next day” moods.

[Vendome]

Liar!!!

Enough of this innocent until proven guilty nonsense. We have a revenue shortfall and this guy has assets.

‘Civil forfeiture is an end-run around constitutional rights and should be abolished.’ DITTO
All we ask is due process equally applied. Is that too much?

[aimhigh]

Even liberal Oregon was smart enough to end civil forfeiture laws.

“Who is the state senator? Do you want to give his name? We’ll destroy his career,” Trump replied.

This quote sounds like complete nonsense.

Civil forfeiture turns our government into another criminal cartel.

[rigelkentaurus]

Civil forfeiture is just regular theft under the color of law. And just what stops a crooked cop in anywhere USA from seeing me drive my beautifully restored car from coveting it, pulling me over, seizing it? Answer - nothing.

While it may be necessary to freeze some assets pending the outcome of a court case, no assets should be subject to forfeiture before a conviction occurs. Forfeitures should be handled on a case by case basis with extreme care taken to prevent unnecessary and unjustified seizures of the guilty party’s assets.

Yes he is very wrong. Very misinformed on the matter and why it needs to be reined in.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I hate the phrase, "civil asset forfeiture".

It is flat out, "asset theft".

[Georgia Girl 2]

This is one that Trump and I just disagree on. I have always been opposed to civil forfeiture on principle.
