Terrence is upset at what is happening to Trump.
Warning language.

Boycott New York. That’s the proper response.
I think the appeals court should rule that this is selective prosecution and James has two options:
1. File similar charges against every developer in New York
2. Pay back every red cent that she charged Trump - with interest on the whole amount paid out of her personal finances.
And Engoron should be not only disbarred but sent to Gitmo.
The Eighth Amendment is quite clear and concise.
The Supreme Court will throw this Letitia nonsense out 9-0, unless Jackson dissents.
In the meantime, Letitia won’t have to pay any restitution for her little exercise in audacity.
There may be nothing for Trump to collect, if she follows through to seize property starting Monday. She would sell his properties for a dollar and leave him nothing.
I am not so sure Trump is in danger.
James could be going so far that she commits professional suicide.
I don’t understand why the organizations who are supposed to monitor lawyers and judges have not already stepped up and stopped this destruction of the Constitution and our freedoms.
You must realize that this case is ridiculous. If it is allowed to continue as planned by James, every real estate sale, in fact the sale of every used car could be examined by the government, federal or stte, to determine whether the audit during the loan negotiation was “reasonable” in the opinion of some prosecutor.
Was the price inflated so the loan could be skimmed?
This case is destruction of the business world.
In the real world, the buyer and the seller are both satisfied with the price or the party not satisfied walks. No deal.
In the real world the Monday corning quarterbacks and the armchair experts critique every purchase. There are those that say the buyer was nuts, he will never pay off the loan....and there is the group that thinks he got a fantastic bagain and will get rich as a result.
If the courts are going to prosecute every real estate deal based on whether it was a smart deal or not, both the legal system and the business world will be smothered by the insane number of cases.
James just may force the system to recognize what is happening to ur country.
It does appear to be an imaginary crime since Donald Trump took out loans, repaid the loans, and banks who lent him the money were not complaining and had every opportunity to assess the real worth of properties involved as collateral.
In other words, this is a transparently political lawfare assault on not only Donald Trump, but the millions of people who support him and want him to return to the presidency for the good (in fact the salvation) of the nation.
I don’t know if there’s any precedent for the Supreme Court proactively striking down this kind of apparently unconstitutional lawfare or at least providing relief from the massive bonds required to appeal. That is what should happen in this case.
Since the banks are not out any money, I have to wonder where the hundreds of millions of dollars Trump is required to pay would end up, and why. I also cannot see any obvious legal foundation for this action at all, once the banks said they were satisfied by repayment and never had a problem with the valuations, what legal foundation can there be for the action proceeding in court? I’ve heard of victimless crime but this appears to be a victimless non-crime where the person who did not commit a crime becomes a victim of process. Even Franz Kafka would be stumped by this situation.
Trump may not own as much as people think. Some buildings are rented with a 200 year lease, which frustrates creditors somewhat. The state may try to seize the lease rights and/or the revenue streams. Trump would then need to take action to recover those after a successful appeal. I don’t expect the tenants to be happy with the state of NY running the property since they may allow illegals to sleep in the basement.
“I don’t understand why the organizations who are supposed to monitor lawyers and judges have not already stepped up and stopped this destruction of the Constitution and our freedoms”.
I’d say it’s because they have all been warned/threatened not to do so.
Excessive Fines are certainly addressed in the Constitution.
Maybe President Trump is willing to go there.
The man is very brave.
Exactly. That’s why I say the appeals court should make her live by her creed. If she’s gonna prosecute this, she needs to prosecute EVERTY STINKING business transaction, which will bankrupt the State of NY and everybody doing business there. It’ll also mean she won’t be able to show her face in public anywhere, anytime. She wants to rub noses in the dirt, fine. Let hers be the one sucking up dirt.
Hopefully the smart ones would leave NY before this happens and what will be left of NY is a smoking heap of ashes.
Just what the voters wanted.
I left out part of the reason they have not stepped up.
This case is making a lot of lawyers rich. And this is not the only case where lawyers are happy defending or prosecuting a a meritless case.
Win, lose or draw, they charge by the hour.
In this case, as in many others, the Judges are at fault.
Well said! You are absolutely right.
I believe that Canadian sealers should mistake EngMoron for a baby Harp seal.
Yes, there’s definitely an 8th amendment question. I don’t know the process, but I know there is a process. Trump may have to exhaust all state options before going to federal court.
How much is a property worth anyhow when it’s in the middle of that sh&th#le known as “New York”?
Push it up to the Federal level on the basis of equal protection under the law. Make Letitia prove that she (her state office) had make ANY SIMILAR prosecutions for similar loan processes AND also appeal that Judge Engoron had no basis or purview to assess property value arbitrarily and also make him prove any rulings of such magnitude for similar cases.
Pretty sure Trump either has the funds, or is intentionally looking to complicate the bogus appeals requirement.
With the way the commercial real estate market is going in New York City, Trump should just identify a property of apparent value and sign it over as collatoral. It’ll be a fraction of present value in future, might as well leave her holding it.
Yes.
Ultimately, somehow - after legally documenting all the legal reasons why this was wrong, wrong, wrong and stopping it in this case - the political prosecutions have to cost the perpetrators their careers or their money, or they will become the norm. Crooks have no qualms about wasting somebody else’s money but when it’s their own they might think twice.
