Former RNC chair: Trump bond decision ‘makes absolutely no sense’
The Hill ^ | 03/25/2024 | SARAH FORTINSKY

Posted on 03/25/2024 10:41:38 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Michael Steele criticized the New York appeals court’s decision to pause enforcement of the multimillion-dollar judgment against former President Trump and his company over deceitful business practices.

In a terse order on Monday, a five-judge state appeals court panel said it would delay the enforcement of the $464 million judgment against Trump, the Trump Organization and top executives, plus interest, if they post bond within 10 days. The bond amount was also slashed by more than half.

“Yet again, @realDonaldTrump gets special treatment with his own private system of justice,” Steele, a regular critic of Trump’s, said in a post on social media.

“The NY Appeals Court has decided to give Trump more time to pay less money by reducing his bond from $454M to $175 and giving him 10 days to get the money,” he continued. “This makes absolutely no sense.”

The pause comes after Trump’s lawyers said last week that, despite “diligent efforts,” it would be “impossible” for the former president to secure the full appeals bond because of a lack of cash on hand.

A lot of us were.

This dumbass sounds like a jealous illegal alien plotting his next illegal squat.

“What is wrong with this guy.”

He is no good; never has been.

I don’t know why he stopped pretending.

$2 would be like the verdict in season 1 in the Bosch TV series. Bosch was a cop who was sued after he shot a suspect who pulled a gun on him, and the jury found him liable but fined him $1.

When the lawfare cranked up the memo went out to the MSM that the reaction by them was to be somber sorrow that Trump necessitated these actions be taken. Long term expressing emotions contrary to what they actually feel is too much for the imbeciles of the press, so now they just howl for his blood like the rabid dogs they are.

And yes, their tears over this are sweet sweet nectar to me

Is that inward man really that obtuse? Trump gets special treatment? For 9+ years the man has endured a longer skein of unjust treatment than anyone I know of in since Jacob’s son Joseph.

Steele never was a real Republican. He is also too stupid to understand that Trump was getting negative special treatment by James and Judge Moron with having his rights trampled on. Steele, like so many other undocumented Democrats should just keep their mouths shut because every time they speak they show just how corrupt and stupid they are.

When are we going to learn that we have people like this in the republican party they are simply democrats.

When are YOU going to learn that Michael Steele and all the others you call "RINOs" are EXACTLY what the GOP is all about?

Steele makes absolutely no sense. But then again, he was the R candidate for Senate in Maryland in 2006 when he lost by 11 points. And he endorsed Biden in 2020 against Trump. The man is a zero and the Democrats can have him, along with the Cheneys and the crook’s daughter from Alaska.

Michael Steele was a token decades ago... referring to him as a Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair is a way to give him status he shouldn't have.

I doubt Steele ever had one conservative idea beyond, 'If democrats want to spend five billion, WE want them to spend $100,000 less". The stupid 'smaller government' that RINO's love...

Michael Steele is a democrat who hates Trump, hates the Republican base and has supported every Democrat candidate the last 20 years. Give us a break SARAH FORTINSKY - Sarah have you ever done that with a 'former democrat' who had turned against democrats? Ever? Even once?
