Don’t pay a penny.
Government by Judiciary
- Raoul BergerA big problem. A worthwhile book.
Interesting times if Trump tells them to go pound sand.
ZERO.
This is blackmail.
I would dare this POS to arrest Trump in the middle of a presidential campaign.
MOLON LABE, treasonous dick head.
I wonder who Trumps, court Marshals or the Secret Service.
This is just the beginning for Trump. Let’s see what he does.
Without question. I have incredibly little respect for the legal 'profession' - with heartfelt apologies to FReepers who are attorneys or who have family members or friends who are attorneys.
Look at Fani the Fibber, her sleazy boyfriend, and his divorce attorney who lied on the stand. Look at Andrew Weissmann, the Clintons, Obama, and on and on and on. I have zero confidence in our legal system. Truly zero.
Will they take a check? Better yet, pay it in pennies. 🤣
“On May 5, 1994, Kaplan was nominated by President Bill Clinton to a seat on the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_A._Kaplan
Elections have consequences.
Kaplan saw Super Tuesday results and decided to get on the “bankrupt Trump” bandwagon.
First item up in the new Trump 47 admin: complete knockdown of the judiciary and new makeover. New York and Jawjuh “judges” first.
Arrest him, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan.
I dare you.
I hope these people truly get what’s coming to them and it isn’t money.
Why would Khamas and the Houthis do this?
Kaplan.
And if he doesn’t watcha gonna do.....judge, you got nothing. Piss off.
The judges are sounding more like tyrants all the time.
Send the “jug head” an I.O.U. to give to the ho. Trump needs that money to throw Jumpin’ Joe Pedo out of the White House on his ass.
Let the “judgey” boy and the ho put you in jail. That will do a lot for their far-left turd roller Dung Beetle pals.
A lot of people here don’t seem to understand the nature of the threat to Trump.
Carroll has a judgment against him. Judgments can be enforced, even if they’re under appeal. There is no automatic stay pending appeal. Trump has to bond the appeal if he wants to stay enforcement.
No, he won’t be arrested or held in contempt. The Secret Service will play no role. If the appeal isn’t bonded, Carroll’s lawyer will start enforcement proceedings. The easiest would be a levy on any of Trump’s bank accounts. The bank would have no choice but to cough up the money. Note to Angelino97: The judge wouldn’t do the garnishing. Carroll wouldn’t need another order of the court, because there’s already a judgment, which the banks would have to honor.
A judgment can also be enforced against real property. Any property Trump owns can be auctioned off, highest bidder gets it. Sale proceeds go first to satisfy the judgment, then Trump gets any money that’s left over. (There are probably complications here because some of the buildings have multiple owners, and one owner might be a corporation that itself has multiple owners, but I’m sure there are ways to work that out. Trump isn’t the first judgment debtor to have complicated finances.)
All this defiance on FR (“Don’t pay a penny,” etc.) just won’t work. Enforcement of a judgment doesn’t require the cooperation of the judgment debtor. Trump would find his bank accounts emptied and might even find one of his prized buildings sold out from under him.
If Trump’s appeal of the judgment succeeds, he could try to get the money back from Carroll. Good luck with that. I’d expect her to blow some of it on a big expensive party (maybe in Vegas?) for a few hundred of her closest friends. Maybe she’d donate some to a good cause. Yeah, “Trump Sues American Cancer Society” is a great headline to have during a campaign. This is why people bond appeals, so they don’t have problems like that.
