“And THIS makes him whole???
I can not disagree with you more!!!”
What I actually wrote (see #7 in this thread was) “That’s a loss to him....” So I certainly didn’t say it made him whole. You and I are in agreement that he’d suffer a loss.
What I said was that the properties wouldn’t be outright confiscated. There are cases where the government proves that a car or even a house is being used for drug dealing. The result is that the convicted criminal loses that property with no compensation. I’ve seen some writings that seem to assume that’s what would happen to Trump’s properties. That assumption is wrong.
It would still be a loss to Trump, which is why his lawyers are asking the court to stay enforcement even if he doesn’t meet the normal requirement of posting a full bond.
